both bands are great for different reasons closer and substance are their best respective releases

Bernard Sumner is a pretty bad vocalist. Still, I prefer New Order's synths and more upbeat, melodic (yet still melancholy) vibe to Joy Division's constant brooding.
Aiden Garcia
they're great!
Blake Jenkins
Not sure how good he is technically speaking, but I really dig Peter Hook’s basslines.
Landon Rogers
Stephen Morris is a fucking good drummer
Isaiah Lee
I've never found a single area where Joy Division was better than New Order. If it weren't for New Order, Joy Division wouldn't even be worth remembering.
Aaron Evans
Bunch of nazis
Christian Evans
Tony the Tiger!
Anyway Peter Hook sucks.
Dylan Lewis
Yet still Barney's vocals not so good, I still love them and their melancholy presence
Landon Sanders
>was Curtis the only good member?
Pretty much the opposite
Dylan Richardson
And yes, Hooky is dick
Brandon Lewis
New Order is just a more gay Joy Division.
Benjamin Cooper
>Anyway Peter Hook sucks.
as a bassist? "no"
as a person? debatable
Ayden Bennett
redpill me on hook

My favorite from them is the first New Order LP. I don't understand why people seem to dislike it. The mix between synths and the rock elements is perfect.
I'm trying to get familiar with the stuff they released in the late 80s, but it sounds a little too mainstream for me (I hope it clicks some day tho).
Camden Moore
Technique is their best album as a whole but almost all of their best songs are from their early career
Adrian Robinson
Ok, I'll check it tonight.

This is the first New Order song I liked. For years, I thought it was an original from Wovenhand.
When I listened to Movement for the first time and heard this familiar song, it blew my mind.
Jack King
Hooky is a legend watch your fucking mouth and kill yourself fucking little bellend twat
Thomas Peterson
Seriously, what's the deal with Hooky? (I usually don't read gossip)
Noah Morgan
just standard late-career band politics drama
don't worry about it

Ian curtis was not a good singer, he was an excellent writer and his singing fitted the band.
Peter hook is an excellent bassist and Stephen morris is a top tier drummer.
Barney vocals suck, but people forget that he was the one that did most of the synth stuff.
They all good. Although what made Joy Division gold was Martin hannet, the producer.
Also peter saville's cover were the best designs ever imo, the minimalist obsessio of today wouldn't exist without him
