Power, Corruption & Lies or three other things that might make an OK sounding album title but are wittily more rubbish than Power, Corruption & Lies?

It felt like a collection of B-sides and bonus tracks. Substance was notable by its absence.
Unsure if that was a joke or not.

I think it was the two housie tracks on side 2 that let the sound down. Maybe they sounded good on a club's PA system in 1983 or something.

I think it's probably overrated that album, but as an inveterate lover of NO and someone who went through their development approximately at the same time as their albums were released I nevertheless find it a fascinating and significant step in the band's development.
It's a bit sonically austere and conceptually impenetrable at times, but it's still gr8.
Even when their being lazy and irreverent they get away with it by being angsty, chippy Northerners nonpareil.

I too 'noticed' this.
I do not believe that it was intentional.

It's unlikely.
At best we might get a
smiley.

Some questions are best left unanswered.
