New Order's ability to write killer songs that sound like they could’ve come from no other band on the planet has remained constant across all their different eras and phases—and it leaps from the virtual grooves of this mammoth compendium. As their early singles' skeletal synth-pop morphs into joyous club tracks, and as those give way to ringing, big-hearted tunes like "Regret," Singles feels like time-lapse footage of a particularly dynamic ecosystem. In anthem after anthem, the album paints a detailed picture of savvy stylistic shifts and undeniable songwriting genius.
