Review

Enter the pulse-pounding universe of "Substance," where New Order dials up pure rhythmic adrenaline, capturing the essence of their innovative journey by August '87. Riding the relentless beats on this compilation, "Blue Monday," "Bizarre Love Triangle," "Temptation," and "True Faith" heat the dance floor. Manifesting their brilliance, they effortlessly merge post-punk, dance, and electronic textures into an unforgettable sonic ride.

Unpacking "Substance"'s musical layers reveals new treats for seasoned listeners and newcomers. The album cheekily sneaks in reimagined gems like "Temptation," "Confusion," and the renaissance of Joy Division's "Ceremony" with the vivacious Gillian Gilbert. Even with storage quirks trimming tracks like "Subculture" and "The Perfect Kiss," the essence remains electrifying, proving limitations can't confine true artistry.

This whirlwind of sound wasn’t just praise-fodder; it etched itself into the '80s zeitgeist as a pop Bible. With tracks spanning listeners’ wildest weekends and prompted by New Order’s synthesis of rock detours and synth explorations, "Substance" took listeners from cerebral clubbing experiences to introspective car rides. Whether you’re a devoted disciple of the '80s dance diatribe or just adore '80s-inspired synth symphonies, this album sets the electrifying stage you didn’t know you've been longing for. - Zig
