Amazon.com essential recording
It's a simple concept--the first dozen singles by New Order collected, a couple of them rerecorded--but it's also a totally entertaining seven-year history of the band that married British post-punk alienation to the relentless hedonism of the dance floor. The band's hits were always deeply unconventional (like the haunting "Blue Monday," essentially a seven-minute drum machine test with a short lyric that alluded to the Falklands War), but they were brilliant productions, layering dozens of electronic countermelodies and percussion tricks over Barney Sumner's uncertain warble and Peter Hook's lead bass parts. Though they're audio snapshots of the dance beats of their time, they've held up both as club classics and as idiosyncratic rock songs. --Douglas Wolk

 A must. September 12, 2008
Camilo Rueda Lopez (San Sebastian de Los Reyes, MADRID Spain)
If there's a New Order album deserving to be part of any essential albums ranking ever, it would have to be this one. A bit underproduced, perhaps too much austere for such a great release, the music still deserves the full 5 stars with no doubt.
Greatest Hits and Singles compilers from today should learn from the past by checking how this became probably the best ever out from New Order's discography, without having to spice it up with "new" releases that do not bring up anything new at all.
The perfect introduction to New Order for any newcomer, and always a pleasure for a commited fan.
A hit singles album like no one do anymore nowadays.

This album I first heard in the late 1990s at one of my neighbor's house. The songs I love are "True Faith," which I remembered the words for the longest time, and "Ceremony" and "Bizarre Love Triangle" are great as well. The songs are longer, but if you like dance music/techno this is an album for you. There are some vocals and some parts of the songs are instrumental.
The Perfect Kiss-New Order-Perfect September 6, 2007

"The Perfect Kiss", the only kiss that keeps on giving. This song appears on several CD's in several versions, I prefer Low-Life. Unfortunately, this song is not about a kiss; I would like to think it is. A perfect kiss, like one of those zingers that electrifies you all the way down to your toes and back; we've all had them. That is what New Order does with this song.By the way, what's up with the frogs? Check it out.

Anyone who says this is not one of the best CD's ever is an idiot. The music, although (I can't believe it) is 20 yrs old now, is still fresh and so ultimately energetic and dance inspiring ! It's the only CD I've bought at least 3 times and it keeps 'disappearing'.. I'll forgive my friends and others who must borrow and keep it forever... I'll keep buying it because it's that good I must keep it in my collection.. I'm finally going to wise-up and burn it to my Ipod.. Hopefully I can keep that :)
