My internet has been off all week but with what little data I have on my phone, I encourage everyone here to listen to Love On a Farmboy's Wages by XTC. My god.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

It's not an especially compelling album, too on the Joy Division side of things but suffering without Ian's presence (save for haunting the whole thing), but "Ceremony" is my favourite song of all time and "Temptation" is also so damned good.

I’m not gonna lie:I downloaded his album a while back. It’s not bad in a sleazy horror metal sort of way.

New Order is weird for me, because I think they got objectively better when they dropped the Joy Division sound (since they suffer doing that sound without Ian), but I mostly only like them when they sound like Joy Division.

I largely agree with this, however seeming paradoxical it is.

It's an odd album in that I like all the non-singles from it more than the singles.
