Product Description
Despite an incredibly short recording career Joy Division remarkably have stood the test of time in terms of influential British bands. Their dark, brooding sound has inspired more artists than could be listed and their continued adoration today is testament to the forward thinking yet inward projected music and lyricism of a young band on the brink of success yet unsure of how to deal with it. With the sad passing of Ian Curtis, from the ashes rose New Order; the same core band but with a new fresh approach to their chosen career path. Loud, colourful and full of life. Total is a chronological look at the two bands most important tracks, covering Joy Division staples such as "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and the resonating "Atmosphere". New Order bring to the table "Blue Monday", "Bizarre Love Triangle" and "True Faith". Also included is a brand new never released New Order track "Hellbent". Rhino UK.

I guess this release was inevitable. Nice of them to include one new song so I HAVE to buy it.

Supposedly the "new song" is just some outtake collaboration w/ Sean Ryder of Happy Mondays making this comp even more useless. Pass.

Maybe used, maybe....

Another New Order compilation ?? And now, one that manages to short-change both the Ian Curtis-J.D. and Gillian-N.O. eras



Why the awful choice "World In Motion" again? I can easily think of a half-dozen more worthy songs to include (although I do like the decision to include the under-appreciated gem "Thieves Like Us")

"World in Motion" was a #1 hit in the UK. Since this comp is a UK release, I guess they figure it has to be included.

Oh, I don't know... I could also see "Hellbent" released as a single with a handful of remixes as b-sides.

Thanks, Jimbo. Makes sense that the song was big in England, since it was written for the English World Cup team, but it is still a terrible song.

I can see the logic in including it in a "Greatest Hits" comp, but IMO it doesn't belong on a "Best Of" collection ...

Um ... I've always kind of liked "World In Motion"

Well, that's what makes the ICE Board such a great place -- we all have different tastes and opinions

For me, the song just falls flat. Barney's lyrics here seem more forced than his usual "Moon/June" rhymes, and the lame rap in the middle of the song is cringe-worthy, as are the footballers "singing" along to the chorus. The music for this tune just didn't click with me either, but YMMV.

Obviously, a lot of people liked this song, because it was New Order's only #1 song in the UK, but I felt it was the start of a long decline for a group that had been among my favorites

Anyone know if this is getting a vinyl release?
