New Order - Low-Life

Low-Life was the third studio album from the English rock band New Order, released on May 13th of 1985. It charted at number 94 on the US Billboard Hot 200, number 70 in Australia, number 34 in the Netherlands, number 26 in Canada, number 20 in Sweden, number 11 in New Zealand, and number 7 in the UK. The record continues their change over from their earlier punk roots to a more dance-rock period. I am very familiar with this band - both from early non-album singles and later album tracks. I have not heard this entire album though, so this will be another first-time-listener review.
