Track by track scrutiny#1 Turn.

Gentlemen, if my psychic prowess is to a maximum (I feel it is today) then I conclude that Monday was in fact the day when Pastie was a little agitated, where Tuesday saw a better mood shift and today encapsulates a delightful spring in the step.

I may be mistaken, but it would be very, very doubtful.

And to answer both of the long running questions:

'Yes' I intend to turn my attention to the Amazonian review at some point and 'Yes' DC's description of my general character and attire was spot on.

Discussin'?

And getting rather colloquial too.

I caught ROA very early in its cinematic run and as a result can recall only vague details. But I would have qualified it as one of my favourite films of ... 2002?

I also hesitate to discuss it further here, given that it was, at some stage, Hanky's thread about track 10.

Perhaps Hunter should open up an open-slather thread in Behind Closed Doors for this sort of unrelated data? Film 2003 with Hunstman and Guests was such a piece of art.

:\pimp3:

You're almost never wrong, H, especially about me.

We were hoping the review was almost done. At this rate how is it going to help the album's sales?

Can art be imitated?

But agreed, Hanky deserves respect, even if he is a fruit bowl.

It's quite noisy behind closed doors, we'll have to see.

If there's anything going on at BCD that I should know about, I hope someone will let me know.

If you haven't seen ROA multiple times, DC, there's really no point in having a discussion about it.

Don't mind me, I find it a little precious to be worried about such piffling details as what the thread is supposed to be about.

My most sincere apologies, Hank. Do you think you can find it in your heart ever to forgive me?

What for? Providing me with entertainment?

Being a DJ I love Guilt is a useless emotion and Turn coming right after keeps me grounded. I give them both the # 1 slot because they're both great but completely different.

My pick for 3rd place is Qaiting for the Siren's Call.

Overall the album gets a 7 on a 10 scale...but that's after the first listen.

Most people find it improves a lot on later listens.

Patrick:

I always find that the albums improve after a few listens.

But it does get a touch boring in between Krafty and Jetstream.

I find myself jumping after Krafty to Guilt.

It's NEW ORDER and that's all that matters to me.

By the way I spent $40 to have the LP sent to me so...I'm not complaining.

My favorite album is still LOW LIFE and will probably always be.

Tommy, do you play from track 8 until the end of track 11?

Patrick,

Since I just bought it yesterday I listened to it 2 times and now I go from 1-4 then 9-11.

I've always done that and then I go back and listen to the others to get into them as well.

Some tracks jump at me and then others need more attention.

That's just how I do.

Thanks for your message, Tommy. Most people also find, I believe, that they end up liking track 7 quite a bit. A few people (including me) are quite fond of 5, and track 6 at least has some good lyrics, if nothing else about it appeals to you. Low-Life is my favorite as well.

I didn't realize you were including Jetstream in the dull patch, Tommy. The first time I heard it I hated it, but now I think it is really well-done.

Patrick:

I don't hate Jetstream but to me it's overshadowed by Guilt right now. It's an OK track but nothing phenomenal.

#7 Dracula's Castle is cool it's the next one I'll be delving into.

Like I said I just got it...so It takes me about a week to really get into all the songs.

Tommy, I agree that Guilt is very well done. Let me know how you like the rest as you keep listening.

Patrick:

To be honest I kinda miss some of the darker stuff they used to do which really showcased Hooky's bass.

eCKOh

Tommy, which particular things are you thinking of?

Patrick:

I miss tracks like Leave me alone, Your silent face, Age of consent, love vigilantes, sunrise and stuff like that.

Feel me??

Tommy, indeed I do. The first one you mention has long been my very most favorite NO song. It has been slightly bettered by Turn, but it took a long time for that to happen. AOC is also brilliant, as are LV and Sunrise. Excellent choices.

Patrick:

I dont think I would compare Leave Me Alone to Turn.

I think they have a completely different sound and I'm not sure I'll ever put Turn on the same level as Leave Me Alone.

To each his own my friend.

Long live Manchester music.

I wanna open a club here and call it the Hacienda.

peace

eCKOh

Tommy, perhaps you are right. It may just be the enthusiasm of the moment that has made me feel this way. I certainly didn't mean to take anything whatsoever away from Leave Me Alone. I continue to think it is a completely outstanding achievement. The two songs do have one thing clearly in common: they both give me chills whenever I listen to them. How are you liking the various tracks on WFTSC after listening to them some more?

P-Trick:

I make names up for ppl once I get to know them so dont mind me.

I'm as excited about the new album as you are so I get what you're saying.

I didnt listen to the album last night

I'm on it again now.

I'll give you my 2 cents in a bit...hahaha

eCKOh

Tommy, no problem with the nickname. People call me lots of different things. I like your version, actually. Let me know what you think after you've listened a few more times.

P-TRICK:

I'm afraid to ask what they call ya man.

lmao

Tommy, well, some people on this board call me Pasty. Heaven knows why.

Surely this is self explanatory?

Pasty???

People got issues...

you must be ghostly white then

Hey Hunt:

Was with the Empanada???

eCKOh

The what?

I just wanted to showcase what a real genuine English pastie looked like. It's warm, friendly and delicious, which is why it was named after Patrick.
