ReviewsRanked #10 among The 50 Greatest Albums Of The '80s - "...New Order finally cracked it and made the perfect rock album you could also dance to...", Ranked #97 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums", 4 stars out of 5 -- "America fell for the band with 1985's LOW-LIFE, seduced by the emotional ennui of 'The Perfect Kiss' and the notion that guitars and synths don't have to be mutally exclusive in rock music.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "LOW-LIFE goes for vividly romantic club sounds, with a surprisingly playful sense of humor...', Ranked #50 in Nme's List of the `Greatest Albums of All Time.', 5 Stars - Indispensible - "...a stunner. New Order emerge as a fully-fledged dance act with marvellous songs covered with a metallic sheen...", "...Multi-Textured, Urgent Squalls of Techno-Pop Manna. the Best Driving Album Ever...", Ranked #2 in Cmj's "Top 20 Most-Played Albums of 1985in
I bought this (Low Life) and Power, Corruption & Lies on CD, second hand from eBay, recently.
I still have them both on vinyl, but I can't play those in the car.
Anyway, I've played these two albums to death for the last two weeks, and they are just as good as I remembered. PCL is the better album, though.
Barney Sumner in need of auto-tuning.
With the exception of 'The Perfect Kiss', this is a by-the-numbers New Order record.
Buy instead 'Republic' or 'Get Ready' - not a bad song on them IMHO.
