Justice at Last!

... well its taken since the release of 'Getting Things Ready' in the summer until Sunday, December the 30th 2001 before our champions the Order have finally received a modicum of justice in the press for their excellent efforts on this album.

Set amongst many 'End of the Year' compilations (books, films etc.) in the Daily Mail on Sunday, a guy called 'Tim de Lisle', who we can now refer to as, 'Tim is Cool', sighted New Order's 'Crystal' as 1st best 'Pop Song of the Year' !!! ahead of several 'typical choices'.

... and I quote:

'1.Crystal (New Order). The best fast song of the year - stirring, dynamic, defiant and perfectly crafted, a rare case of a comeback capturing the absoulte essence of a band.'

Now then, is that justice or is that justice!?

2. Don' Stop Movin' (S Club 7)
3. Can't Get You Out Of My Nostrils (Kylie Minogue) and so on.

Now to put the Order above such tunes definately showcases that there are still some journo's with an ounce of intelligence, musical comprehension and with the guile of a speeding fox escaping farmer Yakkers precise shotgun range to publish their true personal beliefs ahead of the usual filthy displays of predictability which we always seem to suffer. Sometimes you'd think journalists write what they think we want to read? ... in this case he has, but for the right reasons obviously.

I enjoyed reading this review, I hope you do my fellow love rats.

(S Club would have got my vote though!)

...but Rachel Stevens definitely rules !!! :D

it really is nice to read such articles. But i have actually never ever taken any popjournalist serious. In my opinion they are all frustated musicians who never made it... And i realy like this combi

...i've heard that rumour that remixers also are frustated musicians...'cos their lack of creativity forces them to ruin other peoples music... :evil2:

whoa, that'dbe my top 2 as well. Good to see the Rachel movement, that I'd like to try and claim some sort of big hand in starting, is still going strong

what a sick world we live in:D

I'd just like to say that the Reunited In A Day Remix of Ruined In A Day is better than the original !!

...and i'd like to say that the David Kahne Mix of "60 mph" is much better than the album version! :D

I think that re-mixes just make you aware of the quality of the original song. I never did like Touched by the hand of God until I heard the remix on The rest of NO.

Of course it's encouraging when a journalist puts Crystal at nr. 1 of his personal list. But the presence of Kylie Kangaroo at nr. 3 makes me think this can't be taken all too serious. BTW: Isn't it amazing that Get Ready in almost every dutch magazine got a good review? Did the recordcompany offer them money or so?

...so "SLY" has to be a very average song then... :evil2:
