New Order - Power, Corruption & Lies (1983)

On this day—May 2nd, 1983—Power, Corruption & Lies, the second studio album by New Order, was released. Fully embracing their new identity, incorporating more electronic and dance club elements, and with an upbeat freshness to songs such as “Age of Consent,” “The Village,” and “Your Silent Face,” the album stands in stark contrast to their dark brooding debut. Now viewed as one of the best albums of the 80s and a landmark of the post-punk era, it is also widely considered among the best albums of all time.

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”
