Amazon.com essential recording

It's a simple concept--the first dozen singles by New Order collected, a couple of them rerecorded--but it's also a totally entertaining seven-year history of the band that married British post-punk alienation to the relentless hedonism of the dance floor. The band's hits were always deeply unconventional (like the haunting "Blue Monday," essentially a seven-minute drum machine test with a short lyric that alluded to the Falklands War), but they were brilliant productions, layering dozens of electronic countermelodies and percussion tricks over Barney Sumner's uncertain warble and Peter Hook's lead bass parts. Though they're audio snapshots of the dance beats of their time, they've held up both as club classics and as idiosyncratic rock songs. --Douglas Wolk

magic disappearing CD.......2007-02-15

Anyone who says this is not one of the best CD's ever is an idiot. The music, although (I can't believe it) is 20 yrs old now, is still fresh and so ultimately energetic and dance inspiring ! It's the only CD I've bought at least 3 times and it keeps 'disappearing'.. I'll forgive my friends and others who must borrow and keep it forever... I'll keep buying it because it's that good I must keep it in my collection.. I'm finally going to wise-up and burn it to my Ipod.. Hopefully I can keep that :)

Great........2006-12-26

In the 80s/90s, I used to despise so many artists because of musical blindness. Well, I was totally right about New order. They are among the most annoying bands on earth. Buy it and suffer .

Perfection.......2006-11-20

Usually I try to not be excessively succinct, but for this one, I'll say the following:

This is an essential 2 Disc set. Rarely are compilations this excellent. Extended A-side of majestic proportions. B-sides of vast or trifled status. Combine it all and you get a perfect set.

It's Substance...what else?.......2006-10-09

I've listened to this more times than I've told my Dad that I love him. Maybe my priorities are wrong but this album is practically a family member. A genius overview of New Order's early and mid-career that they should have stuck to on later compilations. The songs here are classics. Some of the best dance music ever made, some of the best rock and roll ever made and some of the best pop ever made with some of the best song titles ever. All put togther with something so sadly lacking in today's ugly world..a little thing called..class.

A masterpiece.

What's all the fuss..........2006-09-24

Not terrible, but I don't get the hype. To me, it's just New Wave Disco-and Disco was bad in the 70's. Finally, what's this doing in a "Power Pop" category? No freaking way is this remotely Power Pop! What a disgrace to Power Pop lovers.

new taste.......2007-07-06

I purchased this album on a lark because an ex-boyfriend has loved them and so I wanted to check them out. I absolutely love this record! My favorite songs are Digital and She's Lost Control. I listen to this when I'm cleaning my apt. because it gets me energized.

Apples to Oranges.......2007-05-13

We really can't compare Joy Division to bands like New Order... they are very different. New Order is mostly synthesized, whereas this is very raw guitar, plus a lot darker. They are known as being influencial to the punk rock industry, paving the way for bands like The Cure.

This isn't my favorite album or band by far, but at the very least should be appreciated.

I wish the sound quality wasn't so poor, though. Makes the album a little difficult to jam to.

Good.......2006-12-25

Hey, I suppose that Joy Division is so highly praised by critics because their singer has killed him self and was giving signs that he would do it in his music. Honestly speaking, bands like them are not that bad, but Punk came to tell that one should not take rock so seriously ( which I don't agree but then that was Punk's moto ) while critics tend to preach this, they take bands like Joy Division so seriously that we may find that they are as important as The Beatles for our pop culture, which they were not definitely. So, it is strange to see so many guys and girls that have never studied music to adore albums just because they are full of good poetry ( can't disagree )
but are rather simplistic musically speaking. I would rather enjoy the Sex Pistols or Ramones, they are the kind of punk that grabs me.

Great CD to own.......2006-12-13

On this CD, Joy Division and Martin Hannett offer a mixture of rock-punk because it's more rock than punk with tracks like "Failures", "No Love Lost", "Leaders of men" and "Warsaw". It also includes more experimental digital sounds with "Transmission" and "Digital". Also, the song they're most known for, "Love will tear us apart". The sounds and lyrical content are very modern although dark, this record is timeless! It's for music lovers!

Leaves me speechless.......2006-07-07

This is it. You've found it. Look no further. Because, my friends, music does not get any better than this. Every song, every lyric reaches down and soothes my darkest depths. I find myself at a loss of words because nothing can describe something so beautiful but the music itself. Give this cd patience. It's challenging but it grows, and it grows, and it grows. New Order does not even compare to the genious of Ian Curtis. Whatever possessed him to trancend all that seems humanly possible?

Punk ain't dumb. Not with a creative lineage that includes everything from the Clash to Nirvana. Bad Religion has been part of that history since 1980. Whatever they lack in instrumental virtuosity is made up for here in singer Greg Graffin's urgent two-minute manifestos on society and world politics. As on other Bad Religion releases in the '90s, No Substance preaches militant social consciousness to the punk masses, imploring the youth to "raise your voice!" There was more variety in Bad Religion's sound when guitarist Brett Gurewitz was still in the band, but the band has taken their relatively simple musical formula to a sophisticated level here, crafting tight, intelligent nuggets of punk. --Steve Appleford

Customer Reviews:

We are the priveliged elite.......2007-03-04

The departure of Mr. Brett in 1994 was a blow to Bad Religion without a doubt. Aside from losing his consistently catchy contributions to the records, it also feels sometimes like Greg may have not tried as hard, what with there being no competition for songwriting. That having been said, this actually stands as possibly the strongest of the trilogy of Brett-less records.

The lyricism is strong as on any other Bad Religion record, the musicianship is very good, (Hetson and Baker really working to make up for the loss of Mr. Brett) and the production is slick, but not overly so. Songs like "Voracious March of Godliness," "Raise Your Voice," and "Mediocre Minds" are all songs that could easily find their way onto a Bad Religion mix CD.

All said and done, this record gets a somewhat bad rep, mostly because of the Brett situation. Well worth the purchase.

ITs Not to bad.......2007-02-16

1.Hear It- I Give it a 7/10 , I think this a fairly good songs its short Fast and fun.
2. Shades of truth - 6/10 Its an OK songs but its pretty long
3. All fantastic images - 8/1- Pretty good song Not to short not too longs. The lyrics are pretty good in this one
4. The Biggest killer in american history - 9/10 One of the best songs on the record(in my opinion) , I wish they released this as a single instead of "raise your voice" i think it would have been more successful. The only down side it the chorus is kind of repetitive.
5.No Substance-8/10 Really good lyrics, However i do not like the music in this one alot.
6.Raise Your Voice- 6/10 Its another OK songs In my opinion the should have put the version that was release as single (with a guest singer)
7.Showing the seeds of Utopia- 8/10 short fast and great lyrics.
8.The hippy killers- 7/10 pretty good song I like the lyrics alot more than the music, The whispers are pretty creepy thoe.
9.The end of the millennium address- 4/10 Its not the good in my opinion But some of the lines are really good.
10.The vicarious march of godliness- 6/10 Is really longs and the chorus kind of gets on my nerves
11.Mediocer Minds- 9/10 A grate songs fast Short and grate lyrics and grate music.
12.Victims of the Revolution- 6/10 ITs OK The music is interesting at some-points but boring at others lyrics are pretty good
13. Strange Denial- 7/10 Pretty good i like the music of the verses alot the chorus is pretty good too. THe lyrics are Good .
14.At the mercy of imbeciles -8/10 Grate song short fast and grate music and lyrics. Shortest song on the album
15. The same person - 7/10 Pretty good The chorus is worst part of the song but its not that bad, The verses are pretty good in my opinion
16.In So many ways- 7/10 pretty good it has a wierd felling to it .

The Booklet has some cool pictures. But its pretty short.
Over all i give the album 7/10 Its good but not grate its pretty long compared to some other albums. there are a lot of songs on the album and none of them suck badly.

Paid Full Retail Price, and No Regrets.......2007-01-17

I can credit this album, with encouraging me to continue buy more BR albums, (having started with "Empire Strikes First").

I do not think this CD is such a great departure from BR's prior works as the Amazon critics seem to believe. You could move slow songs like "The Answer" from Generator - or "Struck a Nerve" from Recepie for Hate - onto here, and they'd fit right in.

There are a couple of throwaway tracks like "Hippy Killers" and "Biggest Killer in American History". (Very repetitive sounding). But I think the rest of the album stands up well, to the BR library.

Very very good........2006-05-21

So many people give this album bad reviews. I think that most of it is just the "no Brett" prejudice, but the rest is probably just going along with everyone else's closed-mindedness. I just got this album, and it is AMAZING! It starts off with a great song, and it just keeps on delivering. The fact that Brett Gurewitz didn't write any songs on this album didn't make Greg's songs any less good. This album has tons of energy, catchy melodies, and amazing lyrics. It doesn't really sound like the typical Bad Religion album, but believe you me--it is DEFINITELY worth buying.

(Find and read the lyrics for The State Of The End Of Millenium Address and tell me that they don't make you scratch your head.)

This album is incredible.......2006-04-15

Pay NO attention to the reviews dissing No Substance. I am a *huge* Bad Religion fan. Boots, singles, CDs, hell, I even have the early hard-to-find vinyl. AND I am a huge music fan in general with 3500+ CDs. This isn't my most favorite Bad Religion CD, not sure what that would be. BUT, this is the most listened to CD in my entire collection, by FAR.

No Substance is an amazing, just amazing recording (uh, except for "Hear It" which is commercial schlock). I have listened to this album literally hundreds of times. I cannot recommend it highly enough, especially "Mediocre Minds". This is one of the best BR CDs, and that's coming from a hardcore fan. Buy it. You won't regret it. I absolutely love this album.

Did I say this is THE most listened to CD in my *entire* collection, which ranges from punk to new age to folk to techno to metal to hippie jambands? Yes. I cannot recommend this highly enough, 5 stars isn't enough. Thoughtful, interesting, ferocious in places, just freakin' great.

Ignore the folks whining that it isn't Suffer or No Control or Generator. No Substance has rewards a-plenty for the listener who pays attention. Highly recommended.

Inspectah Deck's debut LP has been one of the most eagerly awaited in Wu-Tang's long history. As the Clan's vaunted lead hitter on pivotal posse cuts like "Triumph" and "Protect Ya Neck," Deck displays a gift for metaphoric mastery and complex rhyme schemes. In fact, few other MCs are more effective than Deck at creating evocative street-level images with single line strokes from his lyrical stylus. Line for line, Deck could easily outshine even fellow Wu members like Method Man or Raekwon, but in a new Wu era where RZA has opted out of handling the bulk of the group members' production, Deck loses out considerably. Uncontrolled Substance is nowhere as banal as GZA's Beneath the Surface, and there are some great tracks ("Femme Fatale," "9th Chamber"), but writ large, RZA's absence is the disc's more glaring shortcoming. How you gonna have the Wu's most venomous rhymer trying to come with an album without the clique's most accomplished beat chemist behind him? This is a great album, but it could have been far greater. --Oliver Wang

Why try and Test,the Rebel INS?.......2006-12-26

This CD is undoubtly ill.INS has always been my favorite Wu-Tang member(along with GZA/Genius and Ghostface Killah)and he brings you the best play with words and his rhymes are filled with metaphors and skills.
The only thign wrong with this album is the lack of RZA produced tracks.He only comes through for "Movas N Shakers"(in which the beat isn't that great for RZA standards) and Friction(pretty good,Masta Killa rips it),which isn't enough.Of course Wu-related producers come throuigh to help(4th Disiple on 9th Chamber-EXCELLENT!) and True Master on R.E.C Room.Also Pete Rock pops in for Trouble Man,which the beat is pretty cool. Even Inspectah Deck himself produces some tracks which aren't half bad.But,to me its not about the beats,its about the ryhmes and use of wordplay aand,as expected,INS comes through for it.

Top 5 tracks
1.Word On the Street(prod.Inspectah Deck)
2.9th Chamber(feat. Barreta 9,Killa Sin,La The Darkman,Streetlife)(prod.4th Disiple)
3.Friction(feat.Masta Killa)(prod.RZA)
4.Trouble Man (prod.Pete Rock)
5.Femme Fatale(prod.Insepctah Deck)

Its the perfect addition to any collection for Wu-Tang!cop it

(3+half) The UNCONTROLLABLE Inspectah Deck's on the set!!.......2006-10-10

After blessing every Wu-Tang joint he was ever on it was only a matter of time before their talisman brought a solo set to the masses. The suprise was that it took so long. Now 1st things 1st, INS has always been tight with his wordplay, as sharp as a razor. Thankfully that doesnt change here at all, he never slacks on a single track. To me, and it is only my opinion, the production is where this album falls short. Around this time alotta questions were starting to be asked about the WU and whether they had lost their edge after afew bad solo albums and the very weak "Forever" and i think alotta tracks suffered from that. Afew weak beats by proven beatsmiths let down INS when he deserved more. Even PETE ROCK gave INS a weak beat by his standards, especially when you hear the track off PETE's "Soul Survivor" album that INS rips on and you realise what could have been. With all that being said there are enough dope moments here to please all hiphop fans. Tracks like "Movas & Shakers", "Uncontrolled Substance", "Elevation", "R.E.C. Room", "Friction", "Show N Prove" and "The Cause" all show INS' hunger and terrific wordplay and wonderful mic presence. Tracks like "Femme Fatale", "Forget Me Not", "Word On The Street" and "Lovin You" display his fantastic story-telling. The remaining joints are somewhat weaker than all of these in my opinion and take from the albums overall quality but its still a great addition to any hiphop fans collection.

oh my oh my.......2006-08-07

this is the best wu tang cd since the solos in 1994,5,and 6.

so this, all those, exept tical, hahaha, and gravediggaz six feet deep and 36 chambers are all the must have wu cd's.

and i read a review that said it aint produced by rza, thats funny. its almost the only one worth ur money.

Inspectah Deck - Uncontrolled Substance.......2006-05-14

GREAT album. Thats all I can say. One of my favorite members from Wu-Tang. This album provides so much variety that it will KEEP you listening all the time without getting bored of it! Let me get specific on the album now.

Lyric wise, INS brings the heat in EVERY track. Even the guest appearances in the album, THEY even bring lyrical heat. But I didnt find ONE track that I thought that INS was weak in. Some tracks hes more lyrical than others, but ever track has a story/point or good rhyme sceme to it. INS doesnt fail ONCE lyrically in this album, so when you get this, make sure to take note he doesnt fail lyrically.

Now, production wise, RZA produces a couple tracks but thats it. INS even produces a couple tracks for himself! Talent. And the beats that he makes for himself are hott! I think every single song on this album has at least a decent or better than decent beat, and some are classics. Some of my favorite beats are "Forget Me Not", "Uncontrolled Substance". I like the "9th Chamber" beat just for the fact thats its really grimey. I dont have to name all my favorites just notice all the beats are cracken. Real Wu-Tang music.

INS's first album, its cracken lyrically and production wise. I dont see NO reason why you would hate or even barely dislike this album. INS brings so much variety in this album its crazy. If your a Wu-Tang fan or a HIPHOP fan this album is a MUST buy!!!

My Top 5 Songs
1.Forget Me Not
2.Longevity
3.Word On The Street
4.Trouble Man
5.Friction

INS explodes!.......2006-03-10

I copped Uncontrolled Substance yesterday after reading a mountainload of reviews and asking what my friends thought of it.. and I was blown away immediatly by the first song, Movas & Shakers, which has an incredible beat and of course the Rebel's famous lyrics. Lyrically, he kills it on this album but that's to be expected from one a Wu-Tang member with one of the hottest flows.

Production wise, I am VERY pleased on what was made. It is not the conventional, stereotyped "Wu-Tang" grimey sound and I think this is one of its strengths. By choosing to employ funk-style beats INS has carved out a niche for himself. So what if he doesn't have RZA on the wax? All of RZA's disciples are here, INS produces a track and even Pete Rock (!!!!) produces some. Overall, if you're looking for the 'street level' production of albums like 36 Chambers or Tical then you will not find it here. Instead, it brings me back to Ghostface's "Ironman" and something like Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's "The Main Ingredient".

Can't reccomend this CD enough.

Customer Reviews:

Ahhh Patrice!.......2001-05-07

I bought this album (I'm amused to say) not on Amazon, for I had no idea til just now that it was even available here (!), but at a funky music store at the MusicMart in Chicago (Patrice's native haunt, by the way, where people seem to appreciate her worth and talent). What a lovely voice! In a world where opera has its mainstream stars (think Three Tenors and Sarah Brightman, and little Ms. Church), how refreshing it is to hear a voice as pure as it is radiant. Truly a performing artist, she is no doubt best experienced live, but if she is better live than on this cd, she must be pretty darn impressive, don't you think? A supporter and promoter of more obscure yet very worthwhile vocal literature, Michaels here performs her seemingly trademark Lully and Argento, as well as many other wonderful pieces. I especially (as a vocalist) recommend the Argento-his cycles are lovely (most notably the composer-letter cycles, unfortunately but understandably not present here-she can't do it all!). I have seen Patrice in performance, in action at workshops, and love her recordings. I recommend this highly!

Album Description

The Lovelies are the perfect marriage of loud guitars and velcro-strength melodies. As one fan described them: "...they have L7's crunchy guitars mixed with the hooks of Elastica." In a world dominated by testosterone-driven guy rock, these girls bring the noise and the melody that's been sorely missing on the radio and in your local stadium. Fans of the Breeders, and the aforementioned Elastica, will take to this CD with a vengeance. We're sure of it! There's rockers, ballads and anthems galore on this CD. One listen will make a believer and fan out of you.

Album Description

Tom Kimmel writes, "With me, first comes the song, then comes the work tape. These recordings, made over a period of time to document new songs, were never meant to see the light of day, but when I recently stumbled across several of them I was struck by how vibrant and fresh the performances seemed to me. Sifting through these tracks, which were recorded at home, usually using a single mic, the idea of collecting the best of them for this album took shape. -- Fans have been asking me for years to make an album that sounds JUST LIKE one of my solo live performances, and this album is IT."

Profound and Witty.......2005-08-22

Tom Kimmel writes lyrics that are soulful, witty and profound. The simple production lends itself to the beautiful words and phrasings. This is a CD I look forward to hearing time and time again.

FABULOUS WRITER.......2004-02-19

I've seen Tom Kimmel perform many times and he is one of the few who can sit down with just a guitar and totally capture an entire audiance....This is great stuff..as always!!

THE VELVET VOCALS.......2007-01-26

BIG BROOKLYN RED IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT SOUL ARTIST WHO DON'T GET AIRPLAY ON MAINSTREAM RADIO(FM).WHAT A PITY ,BECAUSE THIS CAT IS MONSTER VOCALIST A TRUE TALENT, I DISCOVERED THIS GENT ON 2 COMPILATIONS AND WAS BLOWN AWAY BY THE TRACKS THE WAR INSIDE AND TIME .HE ONLY GETS 4 STARS BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO GET HIMSELF MORE EXPOSURE,HE NEEDS TO BE HEARD MORE.THE OVERALL CD IS EXCELLENT, U DON'T HAVE TO TAKE MY WORD FOR IT SAMPLE TRACKS AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF,YOU'LL HUNT THIS JOINT DOWN ONCE U HEAR IT.

Whoo!.......2006-11-23

I was fortunate to hear about this dude at a much respected record bar in south west London, called Soul Brother Records! And boy was I overjoyed. Sadly enough, because it is so difficult to find really good RnB/contemporary soul in this day and age, one has to really dig deep to find it. Unless of course you don't mind listening to the drivel on MTV!

Think about the day you heard Solo's first album and how good it made u feel. Think about how D'Angelo's Brownsugar album cheesed you off- as it was too short!! That is Big Brooklyn Red's Foreword right there. Think about Jodeci when they bust out Forever My Lady, and how Musiqsoulchild brought back the neo-classical soul sound with his first album. Think Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite...

Sadly, BBR won't be as widely listened to...and heard. He is signed to some small label that cannot (or can't be bothered) afford to distribute and market his music as they should. But for us die hard fans of pure RnB/Soul, we shall support him. The sound is pure. I rate this album 5 stars.

Where Has He Been .......2005-12-23

I have had the pleasure of meeting this gentleman in person and I can only say he is Wonderful. I must admit that I had never heard of him before but by the time I had finished litening to his album I felt like I knew him. This artist certainly deseves more exposure. He is definately a well kept secret that needs to be told.
