Free Music Notes for Brotherhood
Free Music Review: Every track is great
Hit: 5 Stars
I bought this album on vinyl the day it was released (September 1986), and it still remains fresh to my ears. It is relentlessly inventive, energetic, emotional, and original. And, being New Order, it's obtuse yet accessible all at once. Though it's an almost impossible decision, I might actually call this their best album, if only for sheer consistency of excellence and depth of ideas -- I've never understood why Brotherhood is usually slagged, even by the band themselves. (This is from someone who can sing from memory most New Order and Joy Division songs.) Previous reviewers are right when they say it's a more rock-oriented album than Substance -- at least side one. But to me, New Order were never anything but a rock band wrote songs that happened to be danceable, and Brotherhood keeps with the tradition of blending the electronic and acoustic that has marked every one of their albums (except, perhaps, Republic). Every track is rich, warm, and intense -- the production (by the band) is perfect, with every sound exactly as it needs to be. It's more for listening than for dancing, but it's hard not to move -- or be moved. The wistfulness, mystery, and feeling in the lyrics is both inspiring and disarming, and the music speaks just as loudly. In my opinion, this was their last truly brilliant album (the retrospectives don't count, Technique is not quite to the same level, Republic is forgettable, and Get Ready is quite good but marred by weak lyrics), and I expect to still be listening to it in another 15 years. I wish I could say the same for the side projects, which just don't have the magic for me -- they are so good as a band, and have such a distinct sound, that it's just not all there when they are working apart from each other. Brotherhood and the albums that preceded it are everlasting.
Brotherhood Poster
BROTHERHOOD, originally out in 1986, introduced the brilliant single 'Bizarre Love Triangle' as well as the favorites 'Weirdo,' and 'All Day Long.' With a guitar driven rock side backed by a dance side, this 1986 New Order displays some of the band's most emotional songwriting.Alternative Rock Music CDs
