I'd rather listen to Rock the Shack than:
State of the Nation Morning Night and Day Jetstream
The only reason the Subculture 12-inch isn't included is because I blame John Robie for the epic crappiness moreso than NO.
...TIGHT! :barf:

The titles don't seem to be ironic, which leads one to have a even worse opinion of them.... unless they are ironic because of the songs lack of irony.
Rock the Shack is just a horrible half assed demo, should have been a joke B side at best.

I agree that they're shit. But "Sooner Than You Think" is ace.
Stay off the drugs, Al.

OK-I'll own up to an admittedly stupid joke: I was being a little silly. They of course do not ADVOCATE terrorism. I was making a joke that the lyrics are so bad playing them publicly could be CONSIDERED an act of terrorism. Yes it's a very positive song and it's bloody catchy and it grows on you, but you have to admit it's pretty laughable.
nothing wrong with Bernards lyrics, especially if you think of them as having been written from the perspective of a retarded recluse man-child
- Jetstream
- Turn My Way
- Dracula's Castle
Jetstream is an okay tune, but is a shit record. Turn My Way is ruined by Billy Corgan. I cannot stand that man. I don't even mind the lyrics, it's a great song, but Billy Corgan ruins it. I don't dislike Dracula's Castle, but those lyrics are just physically impossible to listen to. I can only imagine what the lyrics are like for the leftovers..
That's difficult to choose because "Technique" has more than 3 tracks 
.
Errrm...
- Blue Monday
- World in motion
- Blue Monday 88 maybe
Only 3?
Um
Rock The Shack Run Wild Every Little Counts
Really, there are quite a few. Though, er, I actually quite like Jetstream, I am embarrassed to admit.

Well, we all have our opinions so to each their own!
I must say I'm actually quite fond of Every Little Counts, myself, but that's because it's hilarious. It's SO silly and ridiculous it's impossible to be taken seriously. The band sounds like they're just goofing around having a great time recording it, what with Bernard cracking up and Gillian's epic instrumental synth-crash to close it so for me at least it's difficult to not put a smile on too.
Every Little Counts is like an epic filler, a la Elegia, Avalanche.
But yes he's taking a piss at eh.. one of his lovers?

Taking a piss at The Velvet Underground.
OK ladies, I forced myself to sit through WFTSC yesterday just to see if I remembered correctly which track sucks the most.
Surprisingly, not only do I not hate "Dracula's Castle"... but if you gave it any other title (e.g., Ultra Tuesday) you could slot it right into side 2 of Technique and never know the difference.
Republic's second half can probably take care of this (sans Special, of course). Thing is, some versions are ace and others are weak. Paradise comes to mind. Much prefer the Reading 98 version to the Brotherhood take. Maybe that's why I don't rate Brotherhood that high...after three albums of GREAT opening tracks they kind of tossed off a plodding track with a cloudy mix. That's why I like Weirdo so much---a breath of fresh air even if the track succeeds mostly because of its break-neck pace.
