Untitled

Brotherhood is the fourth studio album by the English rock band New Order, released in 1986. The album contains a mixture of post-punk and electronic styles, roughly divided between the two sides. New Order would not utilize the guitar as a main instrument again until 2001's Get Ready.[citation needed]

Brotherhood includes the band's breakout single in the USA, "Bizarre Love Triangle". It is the only track from the album released as a single and as a video. As such, it was the staple of many 1980s soundtracks, including Married to the Mob.

The album sleeve was created by Peter Saville and is a photograph of a sheet of titanium-zinc alloy.[1]

In 2008 the album was re-released in a Collector's Edition with a bonus disc.

In a 1987 interview with Option, Stephen Morris commented that the "mad ending" to "Every Little Counts" is similar to the ending of the The Beatles' "A Day in the Life".[1] Morris said: "What we should have done is make the tape version sound like the tape getting chewed up. The CD could have the sticking sound."[1]
