Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject Musicology - Popular music, grade: 1,3, University of Sussex, language: English, abstract: Power, Corruption & Lies is the sophomore album of Manchester band New Order. New Order’s position within the independent and mainstream divide of popular culture will be examined by looking closely at their immediate surroundings and motives. The album’s significance to popular culture is demonstrated through an album analysis and the synthesis of adequate academic literature and interviews of associates. The analytical tool of semiotics will be applied, as proposed by theorist Michael Riffaterre, in order to create meaning from the album’s lyrics.
