Brotherhood was the fourth studio album by New Order, released in 1986. Although a relatively weak offering in the band's canon (most of its tracks have rarely been selected for New Order's many compilations), it did nevertheless contain one of the band's most popular songs in the form of Bizarre Love Triangle. The album contains a mixture of acoustic and electronic styles, roughly divided between the two sides. New Order would barely touch the guitar as a main instrument again until 2001's Get Ready.
