Rate Your Get Ready Songs!

This is my "Get Ready" Top 10.

01 Primitive Notion 02 60 mph 03 Crystal 04 Vicious Streak 05 Turn My Way 06 Rock The Shack 07 Close Range 08 Someone Like You 09 Run Wild 10 Slow Jam

To me Primitive Notion is one of the best NewOrder songs ever. And i do like Rock the Shack, it's wicked and might be a great live track. I definitely do not like Slow Jam, to me the one and only weak moment on a fantastic album.

My opinion might change with time, but for now that's my Top 10.

:D

01 Primitive Notion 02 Someone Like You 03 Crystal 04 Vicious Streak 05 Turn My Way 06 Close Range 07 Run Wild 08 60 MPH 99 Rock The Shack + Slow Jam

Sorry Seb - I kept hitting submit and nothing was happening - or so I thought!

1 - Primitive Notion 2 - Vicious Streak 3 - Someone Like You 4 - Close Range 5 - Crystal 6 - 60 MPH 7 - Turn My Way 8 - Rock The Shack 9 - Slow Jam 10 - Run Wild

I still do not have the official release and some mixes i have are different than the Spinner.com versions. I would rate Player In The League before Rock the Shack and Run This River Dry (any confirmation on this songs title?) would be right between SomeoneLikeYou and Close Range...it's a great track and I hope it appears on the US release. I plan on compiling my own GET READY cd when the US version comes out. I'll nix Slow Jam for sure and add the extra tracks including Behind Closed Doors and the CHEMICALS collaboration when that's available.

Slow Jam is worse than anything on Republic in my opinion. I have started to tolerate the "jesus comes..." lyrics on Run Wild but Slow Jam sounds like it's imitating a style while the others sound distinctly New Order.

Alright now that everyone (well almost everyone) has heard the album we should get some real good posts. Here is my list:

1. Turn My way
2. Someone Like You
3. 60 MPH
4. Primitive Notion
5. Crystal
6. Close Range
7. Vicious Streak
8. Run Wild
9. Slow Jam
10. Rock the Shack

It was also very hard for me to choose one of the other because it is such a good album but that is what I came up with!!

1.Crystal 2.Close Range 3.Primitive Notion 4.60 mph 5.Turn My Way 6.Vicious Streak 7.Rock The Shack 8. Someone Like You 9. Run Wild 10. Slow Jam

In saying that, loved em all except Slow Jam-not terrible but just not as good as the others

I like Slow Jam, even more after listening to it repeatedly.... i can't understand why so many people dont rate Run Wild.... i really think its brilliant.

Liv

On listening to the album i couldn't understand why 'Rock The Shack' was getting such a hard time but we all different tastes I suppose. Just think SLow Jam doesn't really sound like a New Order song - it doesn't really seem to go anywhere.

Originally posted by Nicolas LeBlanc Alright.. it seems that it's only a french-canadian thing to like Slow Jam...! :D

I have to say that it was very difficult to rate this album as I feel after more and more listens it is going to be my favorite!!! I don't think that the order will remain the same even next week....

I really like Slow Jam, I don't know why it is seemed to be the worst on the album. I think the title is not appropriate for a new order song, but that is my opinion.

The song is wonderful, I love the lyrics too "I don't want the world to change, I like the way it is, just give me one more wish, I can't get enough of this" that is how I feel about NewOrder, and about life it self..I miss childhood :( My boyfriend thinks I am crazy because lately it has been NewOrder this and that...

I am VERY impressed by the new album and ALL of the songs. I want to post a reply to Liv's opinion of each song soon (when I have a bit of time)

So all in all KICK ASS NEW ORDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got my own personal "get ready" on Tuesday, now that the thing has been tested to destruction here goes my list:

1. Crystal
2. Vicious Streak
3. Primitive Notion
4. Someone like you
5. 60 MPH
6. Close Range
7. Turn my Way
8. Rock the Shack
9. Slow Jam

Run Wild has magically (and mercifully!) been erased from my cd.

Now, has anyone else noticed how luminous and optimistic "Get Ready" sounds?

whats wrong with it?

Am i on a one woman mercy mission to have Run Wild declared a classic? I think thats its a fantastic track, new, original and beautiful.....

can someone please explain why its so distasteful to other peoples ears? i seriously am in the dark here, all i hear is Barney singing with so much emotion, a lovely melody and a (not so)typical passionate NO track...

Liv

Liv - I'm with you, it's a superb track. It rounds off, perfectly, a wonderful album.

Got a feeling this could change. This is what I think after a few days of solid play:

1. Turn My Way
2. Vicious Streak
3. Crystal
4. Primitive Notion
5. Someone Like You
6. Close Range
7. 60 Miles An Hour
8. Rock The Shack
9. Slow Jam 10.Run Wild

Note how far Run Wild is down the pecking order? And I still love it. Says something about the strength of the album.

new order are great when they sound like no one else. that unmistakable feel of a new order record. get ready has it's moments and Run Wild is not one of them. as a slow, acoustic ballad to end an album it pales in comparisson to Dream Attack. it sounds too similar to other peoples music and not uniquely New Order. i have started to tolerate the track when i imagine him directing the lyrics to his children. the "jesus comes to take your hands, i wont let go" line is ridiculous. not in the "i think you are a pig" vein, (another superior album closer), but cringe-worthy. i suppose this is a very personal song for bernard as someone suggested but it's also a little embarassing. If it was a b-side, it could have achieved the Classic status you desire. maybe when i'm nearly 50 i'll appreciate the sappy qualities of this song...until then please don't take my drugs away...

well, fuck me, that told me didnt it!

Sorry, but i still think it rocks. I'm not the only sad case here, i know im not! I dont think its "embarassing" at all, I think its touching and beautiful (as i keep saying) and i will defend this track to the hilt. Its fucking genius!

It is different for NO to do acoustic tracks, and only a few weeks back people were defending "Fine Time" satying, "Just because its different it doesnt mean its bad", the same applies here.

I don't think Barney's voice gets much better than on this track. Im my NOonline profile i say that Barney's voice conveys more emotion in 1 line that some artists wont achieve in 10 albums......this is a prime example of the passion he can convey.

The line "IF Jesus comes to take your hand, i won't let go" will always stay with me, beautiful. I think id quite like someone to play this at my funeral!

Liv *waiting for others to defend this song, when they have already said they like it!*

Liv,

might i suggest you focus your attention on Vicious Streak. it's nice and slow and barney's voice sounds so smooth.

what am i gonna do i feel like i'm on fire if you only knew your the object of desire

you've got a vicious streak for someone so young

Definitely wins hands down over

If jesus comes....

come on now, where's liv's support. run wild lover's of the world unite.

If you read my review you'll see that i said that VS is another of my faves, but it doesnt take anything away from Run Wild.

I agree completely with Liv. This track is wonderful. I think you "guys" just are afraid of it because it is a little slow. Just because Barney doesn't usually write lyrics like this doesn't make it not NewOrder. You have to understand that they are getting older and as they still have the old NewOrder in them doesn't mean they can't do something a little different.

Many bands come out with slower songs to show that they can play more than one type of song, like Metallica.

I really think that this song is going to be a classic with me and if only Liv, Blade, and I are on Run Wild's side SO BE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think Run Wild is a cleverly written,well orchestrated track.The production is sublime,the strings give it depth and warmth.Hooky's bass is well up there in the mix. Personally,I wouldn't get too hung up on the lyrics of this or any track Barney's written. It is a great track.

Vicious Streak owns this one! Yet, I agree with LIV & subsequents...it is touching and will come to mean so much to any NO fan...time will tell. But, bottom line (yes, I'm staking a lot on this one so early on), Vicious moves the most at this point. I didn't expect to have such growth by New Order. Thanks!

This isnt a competition...i never suggested that RW and VS were some how in league with each other.

They are both different songs. I love both of them.

I just saying that RW is a great song, its touching and beautiful (im like a fucking parrot) and doesnt deserve the criticism its been getting here....

I know Huntsman likes this track....im waiting for his comments tomorrow.....
