Brotherhood

by New Order

The 2843rd greatest album of all time

Brotherhood is New Order's 1986 album that balances their post-punk roots with a stronger emphasis on dance-oriented electronics and melodic synth-pop. The record pairs guitar-driven, band-based arrangements with sequenced rhythms and bright synth lines, illustrating the group's move toward more club-friendly textures while retaining songcraft and melodic hooks; it includes the well known single "Bizarre Love Triangle" and sits stylistically between Low-Life and the later, more overtly dance-focused Technique.
