Movement - Dreams Never End (!)

Dreams Never End Ecstasy Face Up Way Of Life Subculture Shame Of The Nation Fine Time Liar Rock The Shack Working Overtime

Dreams Never End always sounds like half a song to me, like it's about to go somewhere but never does. Great opening bass riff but that's about it. And I still don't know the words!

Movement: Dreams Never End (sorry for that!) PC&L: We all stand Low Life: Sub-culture Brotherhood: - (not my favourite album, but no complete failure on it) Technique: Run Republic: Liar Get Ready: Run Wild WFTSC: (that works for me perfectly)

Movement-The him PC&L-We All Stand Lowlife-TPK edit Brotherhood-Every Little Counts Substance1-Subculture Substance2-Shame of the Nation Technique-Guilty Partner Republic-Ruined in a Day Get Ready-Rock the Shack WFTSC-Jetstream

I thank you(again)

Movement - The Him PC & L - Ultraviolence Low Life - This Time of Night Brotherhood - Angel Dust Substance 1 - Shellshock Substance 2 - Shame of the Nation Technique - Fine Time Republic - Chemical Get Ready - Vicious Streak WFTSC - I told You So

Movement-I.C.B PC & L-Ecstacy Low Life-Sunrise Brotherhood-Angel Dust Substance 1-The Perfect Kiss Substance 2-Shame of the Nation Technique-N/A Republic-World Get Ready-Rock the Shack WFTSC-I Told You So

Movement - The Him or ICB PC & L - We All Stand Low Life - Face Up Brotherhood - Broken Promise or Way of Life Substance 1 - Shellshock or SOTN Substance 2 - Shame of the Nation Technique - Fine Time Republic - Times Change Get Ready - Rock the Shack or Run Wild WFTSC - Jetstream or Working Overtime

Movement: Truth PC&L: We All Stand Low-Life: Sub-Culture Brotherhood: Every Little Counts Substance 1: State of the Nation Substance 2: Shame of the Nation Technique: Fine Time Republic: Times Change Get Ready: Slow Jam WFTSC: Working Overtime

-Doubts Even Here (After a lacklustre ICB and The Him, Movement really seems to stall-pun intended) -Ecstasy -Subculture (a bit of a dud, this performance on record) -Angel Dust -State of the Nation -Shame of the Nation -Guilty Partner (not bad, more like least good by default)

I'm not going to bother with Republic and Get Ready since I'm less familiar with them. WFTSC-Working Overtime or Jetstream are probably the worst tracks on that album.

The Him 586 (tough because it's all near perfection) Face Up (thanks to the bass sequencer.) Or the edit of TPK. Weirdo State Of The Nation Cries & Whispers aka Mesh (not counting the remixes that I rarely listen to anyway) All The Way Times Change Slow Jam Working Overtime

Movement - Senses PCL - The Village low life - sooner than you think brotherhood - paradise technique - vanishing point republic - times change get ready - rock the shack wftsc - jetstream

Movement: "Senses" New Order 1981-1982: "Hurt" Power, Corruption & Lies: "We All Stand" Low-Life: "Face Up" Brotherhood: "Angel Dust" Substance CD1: "Confusion (New Version)" Substance CD2: "Shame of the Nation" Technique: "Love Less" Republic: "Liar" Get Ready: "Slow Jam" Waiting for the Sirens' Call: "Guilt Is a Useless Emotion"

But "Movement", "Power Corruption & Lies" and "Technique" are totally perfect to me really!

Movement - Senses PC&L - The Village Low Life - Sooner Than You Think (or the TPK edit) Brotherhood - Every Little Counts Sub 1 - Shellshock Sub 2 - Shame of the Nation Technique - Fine Time (tough one, but this probably aged the poorest) Republic - Young Offender (I guess, a few duds on that one) Get Ready - Turn My Way (or Rock the Shack) WFTSC - Jetstream

Movement - Senses PC & L - Ecstacy Low Life - Face Up Brotherhood - Way Of Life Substance 1 - Sub Culture ( Robie Version ) Substance 2 - Shame Of The Nation Technique - Love less Republic - Spooky Get Ready - Rock The Shack WFTSC - Working Overtime

Movement: Truth PCL: We All Stand Low-Life: Elegia Brotherhood: Paradise Substance 1: State Of The Nation Substance 2: Hurt Technique: None Republic: Spooky Get Ready: Turn My Way Waiting For The Sirens' Call: Dracula's Castle

When you say "worst song", do you mean NO in the same league as, say, Simple Plan? Cuz I don't quite get this thread.

I never cared much for Republic, Slow Jam or Rock the Shack, for that matter.

are you sure jetstream is about b's yacht?

Movement: Senses Power, Corruption & Lies: The Village Low-Life: the bastard version of The Perfect Kiss Brotherhood: As It Is When It Was Substance A: Confusion Substance B: Cries & Whispers Technique: Fine Time Republic: Liar Get Ready: Run Wild Waiting For The Sirens' Call: Working Overtime

Movement: Chosen time Power, Corruption & Lies: Ecstasy Low-Life: Elegia Brotherhood: Broken Promise Substance A: Confusion Substance B: The Beach Technique: Fine Time Republic: Everyone everywhere Get Ready: Rock the Shack Waiting For The Sirens' Call: Working Overtime

Movement - none. The idea of 'worst track' makes no sense. A masterpiece from beginning to end. PC & L - Ecstacy (I still like it though) Low Life - Love Vig (lumpen) Brotherhood - Paradise (ordinaire) Substance 1 - Subculture (funny, but crap) Substance 2 - Shame of the Nation ( a shame) Technique - Fine Time (I quite like it) Republic - Liar Get Ready - a tie between Rock The Fucking Shack and 60 MPH WFTSC - GIAUE

Movement : The Him PC&L : We All Stand Low Life : Like em all but Face Up just Brotherhood : Angel Dust Substance 1 : Subculture Robie Substance 2 : Shame of the Nation Technique : Guilty Partner Republic : Times Change Get Ready : Rock The Shack WFTSC : Hate the album version of Jetstream

Movement: The Him PC&L: Ecstasy Low Life: Elegia Brotherhood: Broken Promise Substance 1: SOTN Substance 2: Shame of the Nation Technique: Guilty Partner Republic: Liar Get Ready: Slow Jam WFTSC: Dracula's Castle

Movement: Dreams Never End PC& L: Your Silent Face Low-Life: Face Up Brotherhood: Way of Life Substance1: Shellshock Substance2: The Beach Technique: Fine Time Republic: Regret Get Ready: Run Wild WFTSC: Working Overtime

I realize there are a few songs lots of people like on this list but New Order doesn't make that many bad songs so choosing the worst one on an album doesnt always mean it's a bad song.

Republic: Regret

Really?

Movement: The Him (this was tricky, as there's no standout bad one) PCL: We All Stand (BO-RING) Lowlife: Love Vigilantes (Just pips the rubbish Face Up, but I let that in because of the great live versions I've heard thanks to the good people on this site ). Brotherhood: Way Of Life (with a notable mention for As It Is...) Substance1: Confusion (the original version is sooo good, what did they do to it?! See also: Subculture) Substance2: Shame of the Nation Technique: Dream Attack (a big anticlimax in my opinion). Regret: Everyone Everywhere (prob one of their very worst IMO) Get Ready: Slow Jam WFTSC: Dracula's Castle

Movement: The Him Power, Corruption & Lies: Ecstacy Low Life: Elegia Brotherhood: Angel Dust Substance1: State Of The Nation Substance2: Shame Of The Nation Technique: Guilty Partner Republic: Liar Get Ready: Someone Like You WFTSC: Hey Now What You Doing

Note: I actually like most of these, just the weakest on those given albums. Could never fall in love with SOTN or SLY.

Really?

Regret to me is just 'okay'. I always find it somewhat similar to Ceremony, only I like Ceremony more on account of its darker vibe and the fact that it more raw/edgier. Like I said, there are very few New Order songs I despise; Regret isn't one of those.
