Brotherhood is the fourth studio album by New Order, released in 1986. The album contains a mixture of acoustic and electronic styles, roughly divided between the two sides. New Order would not utilize the guitar as a main instrument again until 2001's Get Ready.
Brotherhood includes what many consider the band's breakout single in the USA, "Bizarre Love Triangle". It is the only track from the album released as a single and as a video. As such, it was the staple of many 80s soundtracks, including Married to the Mob. The song was later covered by Frente!. "Shellshock", a track recorded during this period, but not featured on Brotherhood, also found its way onto a quintessential 80s soundtrack, Pretty in Pink.
The album sleeve was created by Peter Saville and is a photograph of a sheet of titanium-zinc alloy.[1]
