Customer Reviews:

i'd rather give it a 4.5.......2004-08-04

...but all the same, this is the best album by perhaps the most unfairly neglected alternative rock band of the 90s. i've long been a fan of poster children; they were a big band in my highschool circle of friends. this is their most organic album, immediately following two very technological, synthesizer-laden albums, and the pure sound suits them. the best part is, of course, that they let their drummer go. just let him take off, after having to stick very close to the beat and keep it simple for so long, he lays it all out here, loose and funky. sounds wonderful, it does...he even works in a tasteful solo. i can't really think of a band that sounds exactly like the poster children...so i won't try that route. but if you ever find this in the used bin or the bargain bin--this, or _international: rtfm_ or _junior citizen_ for that matter--buy it immediately.

The Poster Kids' Return To Indie.......2004-02-06

But forget all the stigma. This isn't Yankee Hotel Foxtrot and this isn't Liz Phair's self titled (which is awful). This is a very strong, melodic, wonderful offering from Champaign's own disciples of the new wave. If it hadn't been played out in all the other reviews, you wouldn't even know the production values had shifted from Warner Brothers/Sire to DIY, and it's a testament to the strength of this band (which later regretted signing to a major label) that they haven't released a bad album since.

i keep coming back to this one.......2001-11-22

I love all the Poster Kids records, but New World Record is the one I keep coming back to over and over. The album just has the best hooks, and guitar playing.

Enlightenment.......2000-10-05

The reviewer from Rantoul is a tonedeaf simpleton. Yet, that goes with being from a intellectual anthill like Rantoul! New World Order is a groundbreaking disc that introduces to the alternative scene a "BIG-BANG" sound seemingly created by 2001's HAL. Poster Children have yet to create an album that isn't fiercely original and unique. All of my fellow 1994/1995 Il. grads from the Daniel street Whitehouse agree that New World Order is simply "ballsy!" I enjoy turning it up so loud that Rose's bassline rattles my windows. Buy this disc and commence a relationship with a band that will infuse your stagnant arteries with an energy equal to Godzilla's last meal!
