Ho ho. Got this idea from somwhere else. Say what you will about comparing bands, who > who and whatnot, but I need to know the general consensus. I prefer New Order. The Mode are flashier, but there's this spare, melancholy feel to the Order, especially to their earlier albums, that gets me everytime. The guitar lines in particular... they have a lot in common with Joy Division in production and composition. My favorite era from either artist is first couple of New Order albums, so much Joy Division influence there. Weren't out of Ian's shadow yet (a good thing, I'm not as fond of their lusher, dancier work). Lyrically, I like the calm, subtle, open ended feel of a lot of NO songs, especially the early ones. Gore's lyrics seem a bit harder to swallow for me, more melodramatic and forced, to my ears. A lot of it may have to do with delivery though... I love Sumner's cold voice, but Gahan is more of a permormer, more emotion. But I'm not always a fan of emotion. I'm not a big fan of the Mode's first three albums, they took a while to hit their stride. I love them both though. I just like deathmatches, and apples and oranges, it's a vice. I don't know who'll win. |

Not a poll, per se. I WISH we could make them. Just asking who you preferred, and why, if possible. And I misspelled ''performer''. |

Testify. I guess it's not even close, New Order have been officially DEPECHED. I'm going to put on Leave Me Alone now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I like basically everything I've heard by both bands, but I've heard more Depeche Mode, so they get my vote... I need to get some New Order albums though... and some more Depeche Mode albums... so much music to buy, so little time... and money! |
||||||||

depeche mode...i dont know new order that well, and dm have some awesome songs and i doubt new order can top those :) |
||||||||
|
|

I like New Order's sound though... some of their older stuff just rules... |

I'd have to say Depeche Mode simply because of the familiarity factor. I have multiple DM albums, no New Order yet. Although I am a huge fan of eighties synthpop in general and New Order had some tracks that epitomized the genre like no other. Next to IDM I think late eighties/early nineties synthpop is the very best genre.. amazing sequencing and emotion by and large.. but often overlooked. Both of these bands contributed immeasurably to the style.. even though they were wuite different. This comparison/contrast reminds me of the Kraftwerk vs. Tangerine Dream debate.. |

Depeche Mode, hands down, their music converted me from Goth Rock to Electronic Music Fan. Plus I am a bigger Joy Division fan than I will ever be a New Order fan. |
