I was listening to "Such a good thing" on the Retro bonus disc the other night. Took me right back to a sunny day in the summer when England had just beaten Argentina 1-0 in the World Cup. Let me tell ya - life just doesn't get any better !

But really "Such a good thing" is in my opinion the best thing New Order have done for years. It really is full of life - great bass from Hooky and superb vocoder bits.

Is it only me who really likes this track - most of the comments I have seen about this song are really negative.

Somehow it sounds better on the Retro disc than it did originally.

It's OK at best. Nothing memerable, nothing annoying.

I don't know why, but I've got this feeling about "Slow Jam" too.

Unfotunately, I never listen to that disc...

Problem with this song is that people paid for a single they already had just to get it...

I would be pissed too :lol:

Come on now people....

Barney sound's like freakin' Bob Dylan half the time in this song...

File this under..."When Soccer Anthems Go Bad"

One of NO's worst 10 songs of all time...just voted off number 2 in a recent poll here...

I don't get it, because I love it. I admitt the words to the song could have been better, but the music is top notch. I love the bass, it really rocks and the guitar to great as well.

I guess the song is just for me!!!
