What´s your favourite Republic song?

Well, listen to it again, would be my advise. In contrary to all that has been said before (producer, songs, bass-thin, blah blah blah) I think 'Republic' is a hell of an album, which gratified every expectation and hope I had for a comeback album. An truly underrated gem, with 'Regret' as its crown jewel.

Regret all the way. Republic just seems too scatter-shot for my listening tastes. Then again, 'The Top' album by The Cure is pretty scatter-shot too, but I dig it. Something just didn't sit right with me with Republic.

Shut up...NOW!:D

Special, but Regret a close 2nd. The obvious reasons.

I see I'm the only one so far voting for Times Change. Why everyone loves Regret is beyond me, I can name 9 tracks better than that, only World is worse ... Special would be my second choice, and I like Chemical as well. The lyrics may be crap but I love the tune.

I went with Liar. I have no idea why I just happen to like and enjoy that song the most. I'm one of the few people who really likes this whole album but for some reason I just like Liar best.

Also, if you don't like it, then just say you don't like it. These "purists" who give technical specs on songs "the weak drumline" and "lazy lyrics" are the type of people who probably wear organic sunglasses, write poetry with their feet, and refer to song genres as "flavours".

Hear, hear!

Like David Church said, this could be New Order's 'The Top'. But both albums seem to show their strengths long after their first release.I have even got into 'World'live since Retro came out. My favourite is 'Special'

Psyched people are voting for Special--it's so under-rated!!! I just dumped a relationship when this came out, and was drunk on the stairs often! What times!

11. Everyone Everywhere
12. Chemical
13. Times Change
14. Young Offender
15. World (The Price of Love)
16. Liar
17. Ruined in a Day
18. Avalanche
19. Spooky
20. Special
21. Regret

REGRET they should not have bothered with the rest of that album

Of the non-single songs off Republic, Special comes a very close second to my main choice, Regret.

I don't know why, but World was always the most appealing song to me from Republic, then Regret, then a couple of other songs, and then the album tanks

tristan, i thought i told you to stop smoking that sh*t!! it can do serious damage!!

my list goes like this:

RIAD Times Change (i think there is some neil tennant influence on this one) Special Avalanche Everyone Everywhere Young Offender Spooky Liar Chemical Regret World

and i would also like to say that this album does have a special nostalgia. i can't really find anything 'wrong' with it, but i can only listen to it when i am in the right mood.

"Regret" for me. I remember buying "Republic" and how dissapointed i was when listening to it after the excitement of hearing "regret". The album was a let-down for me, it's not a bad album, it just didn't do anything for me.

I'm going for Regret on this one. There's a few gems on there, though; Special comes to mind.

times change for me, as fresh as a very fresh alpine forest on a very very fresh day
