Ranking New Order: from 'Movement' to 'Waiting for the Sirens' Call'

Today marks the 12th edition of a special series within my weekly feature, Friday On The Turntable - instead of looking at one album, I am featuring all of the studio albums from the UK band - New Order - and ranking them. It was a mammoth task, and proved frustrating when putting albums that I love against other ones that I love. Nonetheless, I've provided a ranked list - from #8 (good) - #1 (the best). 

If you would like the short / textual version of the list, please scroll past my video discussion. You can listen to all of the featured songs in a Spotify playlist at the bottom of this post.

And as always, here is a link to my band Audra's Bandcamp Site. Thank you!

Ranking The Church: from Of Skins & Heart to Untitled #23 with author Robert Dean Lurie

Today marks the 11th edition of a special series within my weekly feature, Friday on the Turntable. Instead of looking at one album, I am featuring all of the studio albums from the Australian band - The Church - and ranking them. It was a mammoth task, and proved frustrating when putting albums that I love against other ones that I love. Nonetheless, I've provided a ranked list - from #15 (good) - #1 (the best). I invited my friend - and author of No Certainty Attached: Steve Kilbey and The Church - Robert Dean Lurie, to share his own list.

If you would like the short / textual version of the list, please scroll past the video. As always, I look forward to reading your comments and feedback. At the very bottom of this article is a link to a playlist of The Church that I created in Spotify, which features my 3 favorite songs from each album - along with a couple other songs that I wanted you to hear. :)
