A change of speed, a change of style
A change of scene, with no regrets
A chance to watch, admire the distance
Still occupied, though you forget
Different colours, different shades
Over each mistakes were made
I took the blame
Directionless so plain to see
A loaded gun won't set you free
So you say

We'll share a drink and step outside
An angry voice and one who cried
'we'll give you everything and more
The strain's too much, can't take much more.'
Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire
Can't seem to feel it anymore
It was me, waiting for me
Hoping for something more
Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else

New Order

“It doesn’t take a genius to tell me what I am.” This is the lyric uttered in the dance-pop song, “All the Way” from Technique, the band’s most dance-infused album to date. With catchy hooks from Bernard Sumner, keyboards from Gillian Gilbert, basslines from Peter Hook to Tom Chapman, and everyone else, New Order rose from the ashes of what was once Joy Division. Of course, neither of the bands are directed towards fascism.

With one of their best-selling 12" single for them and the best-selling 12" single of all time, Blue Monday fuses techno with dance, and justified one of dance’s most splendid artists. With Movement, their debut album, they give tribute to Ian Curtis and their previous incarnation, Joy Division. With Power, Corruption, & Lies, they prove that they deliver catchy hooks, as well as synthesis. Low-Life’s coming-of-age backstory gives way to one of their most recognized singles, “The Perfect Kiss”. Late-night clubs can host Brotherhood, one of New Order’s darkest albums centering on substances, teenagers, nights out, and more. If you like to liven things up a bit, Fine Time as well as Technique can give you the fun side of things, and 80’s techno merged with 90’s polychromatic neo-psychedelia. Alternative rock dominate their most previous albums: Republic, Get Ready, and Waiting for the Siren’s Call. With rock infused with alternative, Lost Sirens introduces eight tracks left out of Waiting for the Siren’s Call, as well as Peter hook’s final album recorded with New Order, and the only album produced from archival recordings.

On 25 September 2015, New Order released Music Complete, their first studio album in 10 years. With its catchy pop hooks and funk center, the album received favorable reviews.
