Starts off with maybe the greatest song I've ever heard, and the rest of the album is nearly as good.

Yeah, the first and last songs are absolutely amazing, but the stuff in between is good too.

Leave Me Alone rules. One of New Order's best tracks!

I love this album. I actually think that it may be better than Joy Division's discography... Anxious

Although not my favorite New Order album, I still love this album! Favorite tracks: Ecstasy, Ultraviolence and Your Silent Face but the rest is equally good. Music to lift your spirits.

Wait, is this Disintegration? Very Happy

I ignored this album for years because I assumed it was 80s cheese. I finally caved in and listened to it a few weeks ago and it was great!

Haha! I wish.

Robert Smith being the OG that he is "appropriated" the guitar hook from The Village for Pictures of You.
If I had to pick a fave track here it would probably be the romantic extravagance of Your Silent Face with Leave Me Alone a close second.
