I got Get Ready last week and it's hardly left my stereo since - as far as I'm concerned there's not a bad track on it. My favourites are 60 Miles An Hour (I can't help but sing along to that chorus), Someone Like You, Slow Jam (again, it's the chorus that gets me), Crystal, Primitive Notion and Run Wild - why do most of you not seem to like this one? I think it's lovely and really heart-warming. Definitely one to sunbathe to.

I think that is one of the most bizarre descriptions on NO music I have ever heard...

Sunbathe....is that where you lay outside and sweat?!?!? Anywho...I'm still really digging Rock the Shack...and I am still so indecisive as to I can't tell you which of these songs are my favorite off the new album...Liv, did I just hear the order mention you in the last lines of the disc???

Rock the Shacks grown to become one of my faves as well. Closely behind Crystal+turn my way

Thank the Gods...

at least one other person thinks Rock the Shack is not a complete piece of shite!!!

And just one more thought...doesn't Primitive Notion sound quite Joy Divisionesque...the beginning, especially, reminds me of Twenty Four Hours...of course...this Texas sun could just be frying my brain...although it has rained here 5 of the last 6 days...somebody upstairs must be getting me ready for London weather

To be honest I don't know why it's got such bad comments. To me it seems to have a decent tune,bass,beats decent enough lyrics and tons of energy. the sound fx thorugh the second verse do it for me esp.

I think PN is definitely 'Joy Division done by New Order'. I dunno if anyone else thinks the bass line of 'Turn my Way' is very reminiscent of Monaco's 'Shine'?

I think you're right about it sounding Joy Divisionesque, Jeff. Actually, I think the album may go dwon as the best ever. All the tracks are growing on me. Personal faves have to be TMW and Close Range. Even RTS has had a bad press - its actully very good (Clashlike?)

A friend of mine bought Get Reqdy today and he hasnt stopped talking about TMW. He reckons its one of the best tracks he has ever heard.... He isnt a huge fan ( but is coming to BA with me)and he has been totally blown away by the album...

Cheered me up hearing that this evening!

My opinion of the tracks, rated 1-10.

10 - All of them.

Liv & April I think you're right about 'Run Wild'. The lyrics may seem a bit twee to some, but I presume there was a reason for them. I know that every time I listen to the album, a different track will be my favourite. That's why I can only say that at the moment, my favourite track is 'Turn My Way'.

April - you said that your boyfriend is just hearing 'N.O. this, N.O. that...'

Train him properly!

My Girlfriend went out and bought me 2 copies of each of the remix 12" singles of Crystal. My best mate has just phoned me to say that he's got the Crystal promo CD and video for me, and my brother just got me a promo copy of 'Get Ready'.

Make sure people know you'll be nice to them forever, that liking you means liking (or putting up with) New Order and things get better and better!

Take your boyfriend to see New Order live - you'll convert him.

Thanks for agreeing with us on Run Wild :)

As for my boyfriend he has gotten used to me talking about them now I guess :p

Liv, I'm glad to hear somebody who's not a NO fan likes TMW; I played it for two people at my job who are also non-fans and they both thought it was great.
