Heart and Soul Though Joy Division's anxious, angular songs echoed time-honored art-school obsessions from the Doors through Eno, they never stooped to cheap nostalgia or pretentious condescension.

Movement This is New Order's debut in name only, with the ghost of Ian Curtis still hanging heavily over his grieving Joy Division bandmates.

Really Kinda Pointless for a Boxed Set
What was the point here...? Let's have a boxset because New order deserves it, I guess. Sure there are plenty of classic tracks but... It's like setting your iPod to shuffle, it's not really the "best of New Order's career" and it is not really all that interesting for long time fans. It doesn't really make a statement about New order's career. The tracks have not really been remastered as far as I can tell. The live tracks are nice if a mixed bag, many tracks post prime for the band. The booklet is nice if not really essential. The boxset is just a boxset to be a boxset, just to have one. Really kinda pointless. It's a shame the band didn't have much interest in their history, but I guess it is kinda punk to just do a pisstake.

didn't care for it
It's an OK collection, but just some more remixes of stuff already included on countless other disks. Save your money.

Cheers. Bottoms up for this release.
Out of respect for those who truly are, i won't call myself a dedicated new order fan, but they are with out any doubt one of my favourite groups. So instead of hunting down and collecting several of they're early releases, i decided to buy this box-set. What realy excited me was the fact that there is an entire disc dedicated to club remixes, wich i love. Since I was not fortunate enough to grow up with new order and being a remix-entusiast, i can't help appreciating the remixes ALMOST as much as i appreciate the original tracks. Disc one contains a great collection of New Order Hits, Crystal, Blue Monday, True faith, Bizarre, The Perfect Kiss, they're all there. I simply loved it, though i am sure they could have squeezed in a couple of more tracks such as 60 miles per Hour, Here to Stay, 1963, World in Motion and Ruined in a day. Disc two contains other important album works of new order, and i was suprised at how many new favorites i found on this disc. Disc Three is the club disc, A LOT of grat remixes on this one, though i kind of miss a few from the Rest of New order release, they could have doubled the tracks on this one. The Fire Island's remix of Regret is in my opinion a slightly better remix than the one on this release by Sabre . And why is not Shep Pettibones Remix of True Faith on this disc!?! The Magimix remix of Spooky and K-Klass's remix of Ruined in A Day where also deeply missed. But still, still a great pile of remixes on this one. The fourth and last disc (unless you got the limited edition Box set) contains rather rare Live recordings of Now Order. Since i have sadly naver been to a New Order coincert, this doesnt probably have the same value to me as to one who has. But i still enjoyed it. Music gets an entirely different energy when its performed live. Great disc, and definitively nice to have in the record collection. Not my favourite disc in Box, but still great. Even though its tempting to give 5 of 5 stars here, i cant help being a litle disapointed over the rather slim selection of tracks on disck 1 and 3. annyway. New or Not To New Order. If you like'em. Get This Box. Great music and the box in itself is truly eye candy, looks fantastic.

Everything a fan could hope for and more...
Bought this in hopes I would like it. Saw stuff i hadn't heard before and some that I have heard since I was an OVUM. The box set lives up to all expectations. All 4 CD's deliver what they intended when they compiled this set. I am thouroughly pleased with this purchase....no buyers remorse here! Doug Kansaas City, Mo.

let's face it, if you already like New Order you'd buy any album of Hookies baseline and Sumner's oft off-pitch singing and be delighted! New Order filled a void in the lives of many and listening to their tracks induces sweet memories of past times. Any album like this that tries to compile the 'population favorites' is destined to receive the odd bashing-'they didn't include my favorite version of my favorite track, etc'. However, I reckon that every real New Order fan should own this disc set. I guarantee there will be sections of it that make you weep with joy. Now that I have it, I'd have bought it for one track - the live performance of Temptation. For a number of reasons (some technical) New Order were never a very consistent live band but when things go right, those times were priceless. to have some of them on disc is a joy to behold. The other discs are great but the live one (with tracks selected by the Scotsman who knows -Bobby Gillespie (Primal Scream) is sublime. if you know you like New Order, get your cash out!
