i am in love with who's joe? and waiting for the sirens' call. these two songs have the best guitars and synthesizers from start to finish, incredible songs. not to say that the other songs are bad, they are all awesome but these two are even more awesomer.

I don't think i could pick just 2 songs on this album. I find them all very listenable (except Krafty - I may be repeating myself here
)
I suppose today it would be Hey now what you doing & Guilt is a useless emotion.
But tomorrow it could be two others 
If push comes to shove I'd have to plump for I Told your Soap and Working Over the Time Schedule.
Top tracks!

I thought my constant bemused state was something normality would be proud of.
I wonder if indeed my favourite occupant of Washing Powder is the changing chicken? - wooing the ladies, posting like there's no tomorrow, using what can only be described as the smiley functionality.
Although its been a relatively slow day on the boards, the last couple of weeks have you as the governor. From he long shadows he came, a guarded soup maker from the suburbs. They say he was over 7ft tall, and that he bathed in Oxtail soup.

How did they know all those personal details?
You know, H, it's not every day that one's favorite band release their best work in 20 years.

Is that a reaction to the mole? - or a delayed response to the explosion of recent activity?

The second choice, H.

He knows this only too well. Almost been 20 years since the last Blow Monkeys cassette.
:\pimp3:
Dracula's Castle Turn Hey now what you doing
I know that makes 3 of them but I really can't say those 2 are my favorite ones and those 2 are right behind them and blah blah if you know what I mean. They all are my favorite except for the Guilt and I told you so which are 
NO
WAITING FOR THE SIRENS' CALL
and
TURN
But this could change like my colours here.
And what about the JAPAN KRAFTY?I can't bloody believe it!
Rocket Mick
"Waiting for the Siren's Call" (incredible bass-work by Hooky) and "Turn" ("Morning, Night and Day" following closely )
have to agree with NObabe; Dracula's castle Turn (& Hey now what you're doing) are my absolute faves so far.
(With the exception of Jetstream I think the whole cd is very very loveable by the way...
Hey Now What You Doing - for a brilliant guitar riff and very catchy song. Told You So for New Order trying something different and pulling it off.
For me, Draculas Castle and When The Sirens Call are great songs but slightly ruined when the verse ends and chorus starts. I mean how is Barney going to sing them live

The title track is a grower, as I only got into it after a while.
good to see everyones got a different point of view on this. It would be dull if all fans thought the same.
After listening to the live version of WFTSC I see that the chorus was pre-recorded

A typically concise answer from the board’s resident lady!

Im i the only one that really likes jetstream. I only bought the album two days ago, so im still trying to decipher my favorite tracks. Right now, it seems to be the dancier tracks. I havent listen to raise the pressure by electronic for a long time but does it remind anybody of it. Are their some recycled lyrics? Barney's lyrics are probabaly his least umimpressive. Overused imagery, and does he have a cliche book. However, I feel barney gets a bad rap for his songwriting. Take "temptation" for example, its simplicity is beautiful. As it was, when it was, tremendous lines. I wish he would spend more time on lyrics next time in 2009.
Besides the fact that it's definitely a grower (i was skeptical as some people suggested that about Get Ready, and Get Ready never grew on me beyond the average mediocrity i thought it was when it came out).
Right Now, it's WFTSC, which is my fav on the album, followed by Turn and Guilt...The only one i tend to avoid is Whose Joe, and that's growing on me too, and Jetstream which isn't growing on me.
Easy. "Guilt is a useless emotion" and "Waiting for the sirens' call." They tower mightily over the rest of the album, and are both (probably) within my top-20 New Order tracks of all time.
WFTSC Turn
Both emotional to me. WFTSC maybe their apology for the 93 to 2001 drought (in my mind). Also one the few that sounds like a classic NO tune whatever that is. I'd like to believe that's Gillian in the background.
Turn is their attempt to surpass LWTUA. Outstanding song.
WFTSC Turn
It's a shame I have to remove HNWYD from the list. I really love the guitar riff and am very happy Jeff joined the band though I still miss Gillian.

I can't shake the same feeling, I know it's probably not true, but listening to The Other Two's first album (vocal tracks) gave me the immediate impression (in comparison to Electronic's and Monaco/Revenge's efforts) that Stephen and Gillian were the most responsible for the synth work that I truly loved on the pre-republic albums. Listening to a lot of the electronic stuff on this and Get Ready just reminds me of electronic, by and large, if Electronic were a better band (with the addition of Morris and Hooky), WFTSC gives me second thoughts as it most closely reaches New Order's 80's heights when they were focused on the Synth side of things.

oh well, Filly?
This is actually really hard because I personally think 8 out of the 11 tracks are superb. Also, my favourite changes all of the time. At the mo it would be Dracula's Castle and Turn though (last week it was WFTSC and Guilt).
Really strong album 
what's with the backlash against jetstream. I can imagine the remixes being terrific.Jetstream and guilt are my tow favs right now
j
what's with the backlash against Jetstream? J: could you possibly describe what you actually do like about this song? 'cause I can't name one thing about this track that I like. It's so un-neworderish. And on a personal note; what irritates me most is that when you play the cd, track nr 7 is Dracula's castle, a song I really like a lot and I like to play very loud but then Jetstream comes straight after it and each time I have to walk over to my stereoset to skip the track. (No, I don't have a remote control for my cd-player)
But perhaps you can alter my view on the track by telling us what's so great about it. And yes it's a good thing that opinions can differ so much. Otherwise we would have nothing to discuss...
turn-something old jetstream-something new these are the two songs i keep thumbing to on my player; ergo, they must be my favorites.

Yikes...that's news to ME!!!
Whos Jeff? I nearly pissed myself.
that could be a title for one of the tracks off the next album.
