That really is the essence of NO, isn't it?;)

I personally love it.

I love Rock the shack too. :nod:

I totally agree with you that lyrics of the type you describe are the essence of NO, and are immensely preferable to the appalling cheerfulness spread throughout Technique, for example.

Close Range

I wanna scream, I wanna shout I wanna know what it's all about I've seen it before but not like this I saw your name, it was on the list

By 4 O'Clock (It's gonna change) You were pretty high (It's gonna change) Right on the floor (It's gonna change) Looking at the sky (It's gonna change) I remember you (It's gonna change) When you were a kid (It's gonna change) It was pretty strange (It's gonna change) And things you did

You've got to pull yourself together man You've got to get back on your feet again How can I ever make you understand You've got the world right in your hands

No cold heart could turn away And not be moved by what I saw today There on the floor, thirty years or more He doesn't care, he just wants to score

By 4 O'Clock (It's gonna change) You were pretty high (It's gonna change) Right on the floor (It's gonna change) Looking at the sky (It's gonna change) I remember you (It's gonna change) When you were a kid (It's gonna change) It was pretty strange (It's gonna change) And things you did

You've got to pull yourself together man You've got to get back on your feet again How can I ever make you understand You've got the world right in your hands

You've got to pull yourself together man You've got to get back on your feet again How can I ever make you understand You've got the world right in your hands

Yet it only seems just like yesterday We used to run and hide Remember in the park where we used to play The grass looked ten foot high

You've got to pull yourself together man You've got to get back on your feet again How can I ever make you understand You've got the world right in your hands

You've got to pull yourself together man You've got to get back on your feet again How can I ever make you understand You've got the world right in your hands

WFTSC is a completely different matter.

The only track on WFTSC that I would call appallingly cheerful is Krafty, and that's probably the one I like the least.

I don't hate Dream Attack, M. But the only thing on Technique that I LIKE is VP, so that is all that I would ordinarily play.

It was released in the UK this past Monday, but not yet in the US.

Nic posted yesterday (I think) that a US release is now planned. I can't recall if he mentioned a date.

You might try looking for it in places that sell imports. The remixes are outstanding, really outstanding.

Slow Jam rules, as the whole album does. Yesterday i've played Slow Jam to a guy who is into rock and almost nothing else, and got him into asking for New Order cds for hearing Slow Jam and Crystal.
