Rate Get Ready

I have been waiting 8 years for this album and it blew me away, do I need to say anything else except 8 years waitng

gave her an 8. she has a few dodgy tracks, but on the whole, a cracking album.

I really don't like Get Ready. I think it would've been made much better, however, if Player in the League had been made an album track.

Last week i would have given a 5 but since i have started to listen to it in the car i am realy starting to like this one and have given it an 8. This album is a grower.

This is a fantastic album that ranks as one of my favorite NO records. I'm giving it an 8, but only because it lacks the consistency of my favorite NO albums, Movement and P, C & L. Bernard, Stephen, and Hooky have done a great job of capturing the NO 'sound' of the past, but also infusing it with present, and even a touch of the future.

Get Ready is a 6, in my opinion...nice, but not as I expected.

Another 9-9'5 albums:

PSB "Behaviour" 9 Massive Attack "Blue Lines" 9'4 REM "Automatic for the people" 9,5 D. Bowie "Hunky Dory" 9 Violent Femmes "VF" 9,25 The Clash "London Calling" 9,5 Pink Floyd "The piper at the gates of dawn" 9 Talking heads "Remain in light" 9,1 New Order "Low-Life" 9,3 New Order "Technique" 9,5 Low "Things we lost in the fire" 9'4 St. Etienne "So though" 9,1

i gave it a 7 on the strength of close range, crystal, primative notion offset with slow jam, rts and run wild

A lot of people here have mentioned that they would have rated Get Ready higher if the song sabotage was included on the album...the first time i heard sabotage i was very disappointed with it, but i admit it has grown on me, it just seemed like an odd sound for new order, although i must say, the song behind closed doors...was awesome, really awesome, i hope they stick to that formula for the next album.

Just curious but what and where is this song PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE?

B-side to Here to Stay.

10: Simply the best album ever. Can I give 11? OK, because of RTS let it be 10.

Get Ready is sorely missing Gillian Gilbert's soaring cathedral synthesizer melodies. Otherwise the album is an exceptional accomplishment after an eight-year hiatus. Had Gillian never joined the band this is more the sound I would expect. For the next album to be up to snuff, she'll have to make a contribution. Creatively they are in a stall shown by the recent Retro and International. There's loads of great material on both, with nothing new added and a haphazard format giving away their current status.

Give it an 8...

It took some time but a wonderful record:Im gonna live till I die, Im gonna to live to get high. Bravo.

i only listen to primitive notion once in awhile..

other than that, i think i've listened to the album about 5 times altogether..

although i've heard the 'premix' version a few times more..

disappointing, to say the least..

later

You were expecting more out a band who haven't released anything you've liked since 1987?

I have given it an 8 because basically I was over the moon that there was a new album at last. I would say the two misfits on this one are Close Range and Rock The Shack. I think Sabotage is absolutely sublime and should have been on the album but I haven't heard Player in the League yet. Reading this has just made me order a copy so I look forward to hearing that one.

Waouh ! It's the big return of the polls !

I gave a 7 to Get Ready. It's not my fav, but I found it's a good album (even if it includes Rock the Shack).

Nine. Eight and one more for the comeback.

If only there wasn't a song called Rock the Shack on there.....

7 - Good, but can do much better

10 -- i think it's fantastic, my favourite album of all time. Of course it has missteps such as Someone Like You, RTS ect but the singles kill: Crystal, 60 MPH, Primitive Notion, Slow Jam, Close Range all have a fantastic groove. + there are the growers in Turn My Way, Vicious Streak and Run Wild, it's like a true album should be. It has the musical depth and diversity that Republic lacked.

Barney's vocals are ever so smooth, and his lyrics are much more rich than other albums--he's not just talking about the chick he didn't quite remember after he woke up with a hangover...some of it's about him now (Turn My Way, Slow Jam).

After some 'riping' I went to this album again lately, and I found that I really like this one. Nice production, some pretty guitar-workouts, those typical Bernie-style vocalizing and what's most important: good songs. 8 out of 10. (Not a return to form as some propose, cause I don't think 'Republic' was a weak album at all!)

Has anyone else noticed a little too much distortion(production related) on this album? It almost ruins "Crystal" for me. There's also distortion is several of the other vocal tracks that seem to bother me too. I think there are some FANTASTIC tunes on Get Ready, but some of the production just ruins it for me. Anyone else hearing this on the CD or bothered by it?

A very strong album marred by 'lyrics' a 4th year student would be embarrased with. Plenty of Hooky's bass which had been missing for too long.

Someone like you, Crystal and Primitive Nation stand out. Who decided to put 'Sabotage' on the back of '60 Miles An Hour'? I think 'Sabotage' is the best B-side since True Faith/1963.

the guitars on this album and energy are simply fantastic.

I coudn't agree more Julio

I'm going for 8/10 on this one - it'll never top the old stuff (then again, what could?) but it's still good. A fine comeback! :)

7! It's better tha republic was but not even close as good all those five 80's classics.

Seven is not bad but not even close something like essential. it's simply a good ans long lasting album. I just think, that those 8:s, 9:s and tens should be used very carefully :)

hmmm... How about listening it now ..
