Glad I'm not alone. I got into the band around True Faith, so I was looking forward to a similar, hard-hitting follow-up and I wasn't disappointed with TBTHOG.
Here's an interesting fact about New Order and the sets they play:
Since the band reformed in 2011, they have played a total of 56 different songs (not including any covers, such as 'San Francisco', 'Shades', 'Be My Wife' etc.).
Over the two Miami nights so far, they've played a total of 27 different songs out of 35 songs played in total (8 songs were played on both nights; BLT, BM, GIUE, LWTUA, Plastic, Sub-Culture, Temptation and TF).
So they still have a choice of 29 songs, that are in their current repertoire, that they could draw from for the two remaining gigs. Even if you factor in a few songs that they'll probably play on all three nights (Temptation, BLT, TF, BM, LWTUA etc.), they could easily fill the rest of the two sets with tracks from their 'current' repertoire (i.e. ones that have been played since 2011) and we'd have four very different nights.
The reason I mention this is that I was quite surprised. In my head, I've been of the opinion that the band aren't changing the set that much (which, I know, is partly true). But 56 different songs over 10 years ain't too bad for a band that, in theory, could just be giving us their 'greatest hits' and having us put up with that.
For information here's a list of post 2011 songs (29 in total) that the band haven't played in Miami yet:
1963
5-8-6
Behind Closed Doors
Californian Grass
Ceremony
Close Range
Crystal
Elegia
Here To Stay
I'll Stay With You
In A Lonely Place
Isolation
Krafty
Lonesome Tonight
Love Vigilantes
People On The High Line
Regret
Round & Round
Run Wild
Shadowplay
Singularity
Stray Dog
Superheated
The Game
The Perfect Kiss
Thieves Like Us
Times Change
Waiting For The Sirens' Call
World
The only downside in all this is the fact that, New Order could easily play all 56 songs that are in the current line-up over the four nights, without introducing any 'new old' songs (Everything's Gone Green, is the obvious one, for instance).
