hey webmasters--why only 4 choices on the poll? I would have selected Someone Like You if it were an option. Rock the Shack as a single? You can't be serious. It's one of the worst neworder songs ever and a punishment to listen to straight through. Rock the Shack is what i would term a GIMMICK. They must be "taking the piss" with "shite" like that on their LP. I know it's only my opinion but RTS would make a terrible single. Primitive Notion maybe but not RTS. Primitive Notion is the best song on the album without a doubt. The best musically and lyrically not to mention the tension/energy created by SM's drumming.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i thought including RTS was just a little jape from our Web Master Mates! I thought it was funny...

Brian, I agree with you about Primitive Notion it's my favourite on the album at the moment, but I still think Rock the Shack is a great song as well, once you've seen it live it is fantastic...Honestly.
Nicolas made that poll up, not me.
Like I told him, I suspect he has only put 4 choices because putting more would have screwed the design of the front page - and this was the source of an argument between us, because it doesn't make sense to limit the polls to so few choices.
What will we do when we'll do our next poll (WHICH SONG SHOULD BE THE 3rd SINGLE OF GET READY?)? We can't just put 4 choices... every song but Crystal and 60 Mph have to be there!
And worst: what will we do when we'll do our ultimate survey -- WHICH NEW ORDER SONGS DO YOU PREFER?.... I guess that will require a special poll page.
By the way, if you have poll suggestions, go ahead!

Hey Sebsy...
why don't you ask what everyone's favorite breakfast cereal is??? And you never answered me about what Canadian brews I should hunt down other than my Molson Ice....eh???
OH!
Canadian brews... well, well, well! Other than the very-commercial Molson's and Labatt's of this world, you would certainly be interested in tasting several beers from our local Quebec micro-brewery "Unibroue" - several of their beers have won prizes throughout the world. Two of them, especially:
La Blanche de Chambly, which is a white beer of the same type as the "Blanches de Bruges" or the "Blanches de Bruxelles" or the "Hoegardeen".
La Fin Du Monde (The End Of The World) - a 9% alcohol degree strong beer. That one won the most prizes.
I think these beers are being distributed in CALIFORNIA. Can't tell about Texas though! :)
Good hunting!
S.
La Fin Du Monde is a good beer. There are lots of places here that sell several different varieties of beer from that beer maker. The labels are unique as well.
I hope I get a chance to hear RTS in concert because it's not fun to skip tracks on a neworder cd.
