Ahh yes, I would have to agree with the 4 great song comment...but what 4 great songs they are! Out of the xperimental stuff that fills out the album, "Ectasy" stands out as the one track that offers almost nothing of interest to me.
Now please excuse me as I listen to "Leave Me Alone" one more time before I go to bed...
"We All Stand" has all the elements of the old school NO sound, but it just doesn't come together well at all. Too lethargic, and Barney's voice sounds a wee bit too high for me. Well, this was during their *ahem* experimentation, I'm sure "high" was the word for lots of stuff...

Spot on Spot Nick! So many groups would kill to have churned out such great 4 songs in their whole careers!
We All Stand - decent enough song, but ruined by shite production. It's far better live than on record !

Hi there Patty Cakes. 
I agree, We All Can't Wait For It To Finish is the worst ever!

Hi Muffy!!
Now if I could only persuade everybody that Leave Mia Alone is the best!

It's definitely a contender, that's for sure!

Am I recalling correctly that Ceremony is your pick? That one has been sounding pretty good to me lately!

ahhh thanks much man. thats a good trivia question for those of us who didnt start collecting until recently, and then on cd only....
I'm not a big collector either, just heard that tidbit of info from somewhere the past few months.
All I have are all their CDs (Qwest versions and some made from MP3s) and two CD singles....Here to Stay CD1 and....World 
The rest of my collection resides in my MP3 shared folder :D
There are actually SEVEN good songs on this album, and a few genuinely great ones. The exception is, of course, We All Can't Stand This.
all right. surely we all stand will win (or lose?) this one. and maybe it´ll be voted as the worst NO song ever (NOOL is a democracy). but you´ll have my objection!!! I´m warning you!!! :S
Originally posted by Mr. Streak hmmm am i wrong or are blue monday and the beach missing? how come?
The first single coming off an album from New Order was The Perfect Kiss.
Blue Monday was included by QWEST on the album in the US, but, as you can imagine, Factory never did, so the REAL PC&L doesn't contain Blue Monday.
So to experience the album AS YOU SHOULD, skip it!
Yeah, We All Stand. Neat song, but I like the Peel version alot better. The album version just sounds out of place with the rest of the tracks.
Really imposible to choose... I love every track in this song. I've choosen Ecstasy only because it has no lyrics. (I know it sounds stupid). I think you don't like "we all stand"... Well, it is my favourite track with 586...
there is just something about we all stand together that blows a big hole in pc&l, it just doesn't fit in this, or any other of their albums... :barf:

The Peel Sessions version is heaps better than on PCL I reckon.
