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.

Over.

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.

Confusion must reign.

New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies (1983)

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