1!!For the TV series:
2* FakeAmerican: Neither brother is American. Isaacs is British and Clarke is Australian.
3
4!!For the New Order album:
5* BadExportForYou: The original US CD release by Qwest Records omits the bonus track "State of the Nation"; it would eventually be restored for the 2008 collector's edition.
6* BreakthroughHit: "Bizarre Love Triangle" served as the band's first major breakthrough in the United States after steadily building an audience there through touring, CollegeRadio, and club play, peaking at No. 4 on Billboard's Dance Club Songs chart and No. 8 on the Dance Singles Sales chart, paving the way for their greater mainstream American breakthrough with [[Music/SubstanceNewOrderAlbum "True Faith"]] the following year.
7* {{Corpsing}}: Bernard Sumner does this at various points in "Every Little Counts", most prominently during the line "I think you are a pig/you should be in a zoo," the end result of the improvisational nature of the lyrics.
8* CreatorBacklash: While by no means loathing it, Stephen Morris went on to say that the [[DistinctDoubleAlbum Distinct Single Album]] approach to the record didn't work as well as the band had hoped, describing the recording atmosphere and final product as "schizophrenic."
9* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: Whatever his problems with the album's approach, drummer Stephen Morris singled out "All Day Long" in the same interview as his idea of a "definitive" New Order song.
10* ThrowItIn: The lyrics to "Every Little Counts" were written through an improvisational round-robin session between the band members, hence the presence of some stranger line choices such as "I think you are a pig/you should be in a zoo."
