Get Ready -- 20 months later

Originally posted by Spotnick I seriously think that if you remove the chorus in Someone Like You, this song would have made my top 3.. cheesy, CHEESY...... and someone must ask them to stop using female backing vocals.. it does work sometimes (Crystal is the good example), but not on many ones!!

Backing vocals are all good as long as their sung by Astrid Williamson :p

Albums (best to worst):

Technique Low-life P,C & L Brotherhood Get Ready Movement Republic

Get Ready rate: 7/10

Songs (best to worst):

Close Range Crystal Slow Jam Primitive Notion 60MPH Run Wild Turn my way Someone like you Rock the shack Vicious Streak

Get Ready tracks (best to worst)

Someone Like You Primitive Notion Crystal Vicious Streak Run Wild 60 Miles An Hour Rock the Shack Close Range Slow Jam Turn My Way

"Get Ready" is the 3rd best album after "Technique" and "P,C&L".

Songs from best to worst (without the b-sides).

• Crystal
• Primitive Notion
• 60 mph
• Vicious Streak
• Run Wild
• Turn My Way
• Someone Like You
• Close Range
• Rock The Shack
• Slow Jam

I'd rate it 7/10, my fourth favourite after Technique, PC&L and Brotherhood

Songs from favourite to rubbish (IMHO): Someone like you Crystal Vicious Streak Primitive Notion 60 Miles an hour Turn my way Slow Jam Run Wild Rock the shack Close Range

Run Wild would have been up there with the favourites if it wasn't for that annoying last line ....

I think I understand why Turm my way was not a single. Everyone outside of N. America put it near the bottom. It should have been a N. America release only.

Run Wild would have been better if it didn't have all the Jesus lyrics in it. Lets leave Jesus for the Sunday Church goers.

The Barney mix of Close Range is much better then the Steve Osborne mix. If they put the Barney mix on the cd, it would have been much better.

I think I'm the only fan of Rock the shack. I think it's a great song.

And I'm just not a fan of Slow Jam.

I actually had to get the CD to check which tracks were on it - gives you some idea of how often it gets played.

I've been getting bored with Technique, and have been listening to PCL much more as I've been cleaning up a lot of my old 1982 live tapes.

I´m the laziest member of this forum so I´ll sum up for you.

best album : technique best song in get ready : turn my way

your not the only lazy one Julio! :D

best album - Brotherhood

best song - Special (that one's for you Jarvo! ;) )

Albums (best to worst): Technique PCL/Low-life (tied..sorry, I know that's being a coward) Movement Get Ready Brotherhood Republic

Get Ready rankings (best to worst): Crystal Primitive Notion Vicious Streak Someone Like You (on strength of intro) 60 Miles An Hour Run Wild Turn My Way Close Range Rock The Shack (could be higher but for Rock the shack rock the shack rock the shack rock the shaaaack, and Bobby G) Slow Jam

Or thereabouts.

Get Ready is third best for me. I really love it.

Best to worst: Technique Power, Corruption and Lies Get Ready Brotherhood Republic Low-life Movement

As for the songs...ugh, it's nearly 1am, I can't be bothered! :)

Get Ready - Right after Low-Life.

Order of songs, best to worst: Crystal (one of the first songs I actually heard by new order. Beautiful bassline. Good lyrics and vocals, and the backing vocals actually make the song sound better, especially if you hear that dastardly club mix). Primitive Notion 60 Mi/Hr (Simple, but catchy. Video is kind of lame, though). Close Range (I've found myself singing this a lot, but its kind of cliche). Someone Like you (like the above, but weaker). Turn My Way (The Pumpkins are my favorite band, but Corgan's vocals have been getting more whinier since adore, and this just shows that. Should've played guitar on this, since, 12 years ago, he actually pulled some good solos on the records, or created his own guitar line, but that didn't happen.) Rotten Shag (weakest link: bobby gillespie[sp?]) Slow Jam (bad, bad lyrics) Vicious Streak (one word: boring) Run Wild (bad lyrics, boring instrumental lines, bad ending to a good album).

Originally posted by Spotnick It's been 20 months already that Get Ready was released, it's time to see if your opinion has changed with the time factor?Rate the album and put songs in the order you like them the most!-------Me? Get Ready is probably New Order's 3rd best album after Technique & Low-Life.

I agree!

Am I the only one who really enjoys Vicious Streak?

Not quite. I am also rather partial to it - on first listen it was the standout track on the album, but subsequent listens to Crystal and a couple of others relegated it a bit in the Benny's Choice selection.

Originally posted by Ben Aspinall Am I the only one who really enjoys Vicious Streak?

No, I reckon it's one of the best 'post comeback' songs they've done.

Albums: Low-Life Technique (ask me tomorrow and I'll reverse those two) Brotherhood/Get Ready (another tossup) PC&L Movement Republic

Songs: Turn My Way Crystal Primitive Notion Vicious Streak Someone Like You ...something like that anyway, after which I have no idea anymore.

I think Get Ready is even better if you add in Here To Stay and the assorted B-sides...aren't CD burners grand?
