NOT TRUE!

It was Stephen Hague's who wanted it to be this way.. and that contributed to the deterioration of the relations within the band.

That's what I read in this month's issue of The Face. Anyone else curious as to why the group doesn't produce their own work anymore?

Yes Get Ready is that good! I never got into Republic (Hague's production mainly). A great comeback!

Mark....

Welsh, as in the language of Wales, that country (?) that is a portion of the United Kingdom. You know, where Charles is Prince. Where they have that nifty flag, green below white, with a large red dragon. I think it was a dragon that I saw on thir flag.

I have a slight advantage over Mark, my great-grandmother came to the States from Wales...she and her sister spoke Welsh...it was quite lovely...unfortunately...she married a Texan, and now we know nothing but y'all...which is by no means near that tongue...oh, and she never mentioned anything to me about shagging sheep...

REPUBLIC

Stephen Hague is a genius. Just look at the sound of each and every song. Every song sounds different from the others and yet there's a certain atmosphere throughout the record. And the rhythm tracks are amazing, too. Just listen to SPOOKY or CHEMICAL. And the love for details! Every time you listen to REPUBLIC you discover something new. On GR you get none of this. Most songs are much of a muchness.
REPUBLIC is NO's most mature album from the songwriting aspect. GR sounds more or less like a run-of-the-mill rock album. Of course it's not a bad album but REPUBLIC wins hands down. Feel free to kick my butt for my insolence! :D

Once again, I'm absolutely sure that you are this type of kid who loves techno and can't stand rock music.

no, that's not true, "geezer". i love rock: nin, smashing pumpkins, marilyn manson, weezer, suede, manics etc. but GR just doesn't work as a rock album. to me it seems like a step backwards and forward compared to REPUBLIC. The latter featured some "regret" and "everyone everywhere" that can be labelled as rock, too. but at the same time REPUBLIC featured several other styles as well. that's how modern music should sound like. GR sounds boring. and ironically enough, they decided to release the best song of all, namely "behind closed doors", as a b-side. amazing how NO managed to put out such an excellent album as REPUBLIC despite their broils and financial straits.

april, you happen to be a pet head (pet shop boys fan) don't you? so am i. is that why both of us adore REPUBLIC? :)

8 Sep 2001, 21:10

T.P. - from the 'rock' bands you listed, you don't really like rock. You like 14-year-old-kiddie-pop. However, I rather liked Republic too - hated it at first, and I could say the same for every N.O. album - always found them disappointing on first listen, but then I was a big J.D. fan.

However, each N.O. album, after 7-10 hearings becomes one of my favourites.

And Liv, since when has Derby been in the heart of Wales?

Yes, I am a very big Pet Shop Boys fan. I saw them a couple of years ago on their Nightlife tour and they put on a great show. I am more into their earlier stuff though. I was a child of the 80s and music was big in my family and that is why I heard all of this music. I can't say I am too much into the rock played on the radio today, I have to admit that the only "new" rock CD that I own is Linkin Park.

I think though that Republic is a wonderful album but so is Get Ready. You just have to listen to it for a couple of months and it will be your favorite. I know that the songs I saw live from the new album sounded just as good with the old ones. A true sign that in 2 years you will feel about Get Ready as you do Republic. Give it more of a chance my friend it will grow on you fast :)

I do have to say that I am not really into dance music, a little electronica here and there but that techno they play at raves gives me a bit of a headache :p
