has anyone gotten tired of new order?

this thread is not an excuse to point out all the flaws in new order, but there must come a time where you listen to a band so much, that the very sound of them bores you and means nothing. that's when it's time for a break.

i'm at that point right now, and i wonder if anyone else has been there, or is currently at this point. cuz as much as adore new order, there's only so many times you can play them before you get sick of them. i've been listening to new order everyday for over a year...when was september 2001? yep, that long. i've been through 70% of their catelogue (JD and all other side projects...except for the other two...couldn't find them in the record store) in one year.

here here! i haven't listened to much of the Order lately (except in the shower before work when Sooner Than You Think and This Time of Night get played). However, i did buy a promo copy of the back to mine on CD today and have it on right now...doves just ended...it's good so far with the exception of the opening track. I love tons of different syles of music but nothing hits the spot quite like neworder.

Blastphemer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why I never....!

NO

My feelings, exactly.

I think what Barry Brownstain has mentioned above is the exact antithesis of what NO means to me. The sole reason I return to their music so often (technically, I never leave) is because they have never, ever bored me (re-mixes excluded).

Lots of music runs a close second to NO, possibly The Smiths if I was to pick out an example, and only NO retains equal amounts of interest on each and every play. Whereas The Smiths (used here as only an example) can become a little too much after an unspecified period of time.

That though, was only an example of my thoughts, and do not necessarily reflect any other people or persons view that may/may not post on this or any other (similar) website.

New Order has never gotten boring. I still listen to other music, but New Orders always been a mainstay.

Maybe they should have entitled their latest album:

'Gotten' Ready'

i hereby declare an agreeance.

Originally posted by Spotnick I didn't mean they bore me.. I meant after listening one month straight (or even more), I need to take a break and listen to something else, get back to it later.It's good for my sanity... and for the people in the car with me!!

Truth accepted.

I fear Brownstain is, however, genuinely tired of NO and may need a sebatacle rather than a car ride to acquire snacks before he can (if at all) continued his listening pleasure with the same gusto.

Did the previous two and a half thousand or so?

I'd have to check.

I don't think Skidmark has even got all the back catalogue yet........

Latest Huntmanism:

SEBATACLE: a sabatical during which you are allowed to eat as much treacle as you like.

Alternatively: The inability of Juan Veron to win possesion of the ball

HE? i've been here nearly a year and you think i'm a HE? see, couldn't trust name changes, they all forget who you are...especially when you name yourself after your favourite famale guitarist. snucker will be back very soon...

as for the sick of NO thing...i have to stress that i have been listening to those guys for one year straight! everday for at least an hour or two hours. on my walkman nearly eveyday. now, since i commute to university, i'm averaging 3 hours of NO on my walkman and an extra half hour at home. everytime someone asks me what i'm listening to, i say new order. it's so sickeningly frequent that my friends can guess what i'm listening to everyday. trust me, you don't know obsessive listening until you've done what i've done. i bought get ready on oct 20, 2001, and since then, i've been listening to them eveyday for nearly over an hour each day. before that it was only 15 minutes a day when i racked through my tape collection for NO songs and secretly "borrowing" the best of cd off friends. i don't know if that's really sad or what.

now, i'm slowly weening off of NO and i hope i won't go through withdrawl symptoms of hearing barney's voice in my head when there's no music playing.:( now off to listen to some interpol...

... I've said it again and I'll say it before - name changing confuses people. It's like the Confusion re-mixes, completely baffling.

Snucker! ... now I feel bad. Please accept my apologies. Now I know who you are my retort should be read as-directed to someone who is actually sick of listening to them, rather than to a long-time fan who is currently a little overly exposed by events and needs a minor tea break.

The real sizzler is this: I didn't ever realise you were a girl! ... so you see there's always a sunny side ... even when the eggs have been placed sunny side down.

... there's no defence for listening to Interpol though, absolute tap water (whoever they are).

i know! i get confused when people switch their names around too. but i thought that if i kept my avator and signature the same, people would know...oh well...

and i get that a lot, people don't realise i'm a girl...but my ramblings about how barney is good looking must have tipped some of you off...

you know, i now have a JD song running in my head...dunno the title cuz i can't be bothered with remembering titles.

Originally posted by Huntsman ..... there's no defence for listening to Interpol though, absolute tap water (whoever they are).

How about the defence that you are an international crime magnet and just keeping abreast of current developments, through the use of a cunningly disguised listening device, after someone had tipped you off that they were on your case?

They are the International Police by the way (and that isn't a tribute band).

If I start defending myself now I'll blow my cover.

And Snicker, did you ever consider I too might be a girl?

Actually, has anyone ever seen the Huntsman "in the flesh"? I mean, most of us have seen each other, some people have even met Jeffsy the Mad Mistic of Petrograd or whatever his current incarnation is. Erick East may or may not be Rocket Mick. But for all we know Huntsy could be a pringle fuelled Cyborg programmed by Nicos to churn out witticisms and keep the debate going.

Hehehe - Erick East is definitely not Ricket Mock !! Always had my doubts as to whether Huntsman and Patrick weren't in fact one and the same though.

There's always one:D Sometimes i have not listened to the ORDER for 6 months or so.Not cos i am bored but just that i get so much other stuff to listen to.This then tends to reinforce the FACT that JOY DIVISION and NEW ORDER are very special when i play them again.LOW LIFE .....THIEVES LIKE US (INST),VANISHING POINT,NOVELTY and LOVE WILL TEAR US APART. Then add a little TEMPTATION,mix with TECHNIQUE and you have a great CEREMONY.There are plenty of other great bands out there but none with the same holding power of NEW ORDER.My collection is very small though and i wish i had a bigger one!:D Don't answer that.But if i never heard BLUE MONDAY live again it would not bother me. Cheers Rocket Mick

Now that's interesting, and I can see the connection.

But no, I am one person. Could be a woman or bloke, it all depends on what brand of tea we have in.

Erik East ... now then, what happened to him (or her).

One day there was an almighty changing of names, a co-incidental quirk, and it is tricky to identify who is who after this point in time. New people, however, may find it easier - until they change their own name or names.

By the by, recently people re-marked I was Rocket Mick. Again, truth denied.

Information can be obtained about me and my life, but you'd need to visit a library.

Mick Rocker, have you picked up the re-done PSB albums?

I'm keen on the 'Please' gig and wondered if it was worth the notation?
