Rate Your Get Ready Songs!

My appologies for jumping so fast. You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, it is a beautiful track and yes, where is this coming from? Song to kids, loved one, hmm?? I don't care about the "Is it a New Order song" question. Someone else said was Barney thinking this or that. Who's to say B did or did not think anything. Isn't it rude of us to assume he's the only one contributing to song lyrics. Couldn't G or Steve have written that given their open commentary about their affection for their kids. My last take is, 'what a great New Order lyric given the irony/contrast between an open commentary about religion followed up with "I'm gonna live til I die, I'm gonna live til I get high...(Puff)"

Frankly, what is up with this track.

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!> > Matt Morgan> Los Angeles, CA> >

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.....

Well, here's something that I posted on the Liv's "My humble opininion" topic...

Too soon for a full opinion on GR but I certainly have to talk about "Run Wild". Couldn't agree more with Liv on that one. He talks about Jesus ? So What ! I really don't care because the emotion of the song, the melody, the way Bernard sings it, it's really heart crushing.

Liv, yes, I think it's a wonderful song, as I've said in other threads here, and in particular a perfect way to end the album.

Liv, I would have replied sooner but for the time difference.

No, really... if he only knew it was really "Seb this and Seb that".

(wishful thinking)

P.S. No, I don't mean SEB BRIGGS! :D

Cheeky.....

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

But I really love them all.....

How could you put Turn My Way at number 10?! How?! How?! How?!

That's what I thought. That track really blows me away. If anything, I guess it does go to show the strength of the album; the fact that he has it at number 10.

Originally posted by Patrick How could you put Turn My Way at number 10?! How?! How?! How?!

Maybe he meant 10 to be the best.

Joe, I didn't mean to be putting you down or anything, it's just that for me TMW is clearly the best thing on the album, and really one of the best things they've ever done, so it's hard to understand how other people who also worship NO could have such a different view.

It's an amazing track. I've been racking my brains trying to think of another New Order or New Order related song that is similar. How about 'Getting Away With It'? It has that same kind of feel to it. But I'm not sure what it is.

No, I can't really think of anything else that's similar either. But every time I listen to it I get physical chills, usually starting with "The wide expanse, The wheel of chance." And I just can't resist the combination of music and lyrics at "I drank in every bar in town."

Yes, I know what you're saying, it's a really emotive track. It gives me goose bumps.

By the way I would have to say Get Ready is the second best NO album after technique. My top 10 for Getready is as follows:-

1. Close Range
2. Turn My Way
3. Primitive Notion
4. Cystal
5. Run Wild
6. Vicious Streak
7. Someone Like You
8. 60 Miles an hour
9. Slow Jam
10. Rock the Shack

From a Mancunian living in London

Tough one... I think the album is superb, it just grows on me and gets better and better every day. Here goes:

1. Turn My Way
2. Crystal
3. 60 mph
4. Vicious Streak
5. Slow Jam
6. Primitive Notion
7. Close Range
8. Run Wild

1-7 are *outstanding* tracks. Run Wild is OK. Haven't heard "Rock the Shack" yet. I don't know why some think "Slow Jam" is so-so - I love it! As Seb and Nic pointed out, it seems that for some weird reason, French Canadians (like me) like it.

Of course, we can't all have the same tastes. It would be too much to ask for every fan to love every track. I hope that the album does well, and that the rest of the world awakens to this great little band.

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

OK Liv, you´ve won me over!

After reading yours and other "ripostes" I have spend quite a while listening to Run Wild (it´s in fact sounding right now) and I must say it´s a good song. I still think it´s the weakest song of the CD (but we are talking abiut a CD so good it hurts!) but I have started to like it.

You were right and I was not.

Noblesse Oblige!

Now, I´ve got a problem, I have spent the last week telling all my friends how good "Get ready" is (and the last 15 years telling them thet NO is better than Beatles, U2, Depeche Mode, Nirvana....) but I was pretending to be very balanced and almost impartial by pointing out how feeble "Run Wild" was, now I have started to like the song they´ll see me through.

Well, I will try to give it a shot, knowing that, 2 weeks from now, it could be a different order :

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

Don't you think there's some kind of "Thieves Like Us" feel to "Vicious Streak" ?

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

Although it may be a little redundant by now, for what it's worth, here goes...

1. Close Range/Turn my way (dead heat)
2. Vicious Streak
3. Run Wild
4. Primitive Notion
5. Crystal
6. Someone like you
7. 60mph
8. Slow Jam/Rock the Shack (dead heat. Again.) Only an opinion, mind.. CTD

not sure how you do the quoteing bit malarky (fairly new to actually postingon here) but seb - welcome matt? that's an awful pun well done! p.s. run wild is gorgeous taped the promo so could listen to it on way to work when got it & the c90 cut it off the tape, so was only when listened at home that heard it properly - wow - it is amazing. as for a funeral song, mine would have to be elegia

01 run wild 02.primitive notion 03.crystal 04.turn my way 05.close range 06.someone like you 07.vicious streak 08.rock the shack 09.slow jam 10.60 miles an hour
