That's a tricky one, isn't ? I don't know if I have a worst one but I'm not crazy about "State Of The Nation". Especially at the end of "Brotherhood". I mean, on the Vinyl, "Every Little Counts" closed the album and it was a perfect ending. If I listen to the CD, I have to program it so that the right song ends it.

Fine Time gets my vote; although State Of the Nation looks bad in comparison to what's around it on Substance, when you take it out of that context, it's not so bad.
I would say Fine Time too.....
I actually really like State of the Nation.

Thanks for that agreement. Usually when I say something critical about Technique, the response I get is very pro-Technique.
I think the trouble is, NewOrder don't do bad songs, they do "ordinary" ones. Out of lots of ordinary songs are some sublime ones, but there aren't any bad ones I can think of.
Fine Time isn't bad...just different.
That's a good point. It's not really bad New Order songs. But there are songs that you can more emotionnally relate to.
____________________ GeoffroyK
I agree about the emotional side of some songs being stronger than others. For instance I don't think you could say "Chemical" off Republic was a typical NO emotionally blessed song. In actual fact it was a very average one by their standards. Just blame the lyrics on the Factory mess.
____________________ Only Regret what you haven't done.
My least favorite song is Bizarre Love Triangle, and the reason may seem quite silly, but it's because that's the only one that gets any airplay here in Dallas. There are so many others that deserve airplay, but they just don't do it...maybe that will change with the new release. I am also very, oh, disappointed, with the fact that so many of these idiots down here don't realize that Blue Monday is NOT an original song by Orgy...agggghhhhh
Let's see...
I've never been particularly fond of Shellshock.
I don't like Chemical or Liar from Republic.
And I don't really like Ultraviolence and Ecstacy from Power, Corruption and Lies.
I think this topic would make a great question for our very first poll once our polling/voting booth section is opened.
Seb.

I don't really understand how Shellshock would be on anybody's worst-of list. It's probably in my top ten or better. Particularly the lyrics. "It's never enough until your heart stops beating" for me is up there with "Oh you've got green eyes, oh you've got blue eyes, oh you've got grey eyes."
Worst song has to be 'Rock Shack' - downloaded samples from this website, is this really going to go on commercial release? - come on everyone, it can't be just me that thinks this song isn't NO at all.
Barney always used to say they'd give up once they got too old. After listening to ALL of the album samples they sound surprisingly on-form (given the amount of time out of it and some material on Republic) but what's this 'Rock Shack' business???
I'm reading some of the topics in this post and people are saying that it might not be released... well let's hope this is correct, after all, can you name another band that has a perfect record for releasing only quality songs time after time (like has been said - nothing bad, just not as good) - however, could 'Rock Shack' spoil this???
Anybody out there ever heard 'Love Dance' - a promo from about 1985/6'ish. Had this on bootleg, a classic I'd say, and definately one to try to get hold of.
'Run' is dreadful. It's New Order at their most wimpy and banal. Why so many people like it is beyond me. I would never have put on an LP, let alone the best of. Give me 'Thieves like us' anyday.
I love "Run", it's one of my favorites, actually. But that's the fun of this topic, you know, on a fansite, to ask about what fans don't like... :-)

____________________ So Hip It Hurts
The question here is 'what is your least favorite New Order song'. So why does everybody here refer to lyrics. I just think it's interesting. There are quite a few New Order songs with terrible singing and lyrics, but have beautiful instrumentals and I'll listen to them for that. Like 'Thieves Like Us'. I always listen to the intro, and then skip to the next track as soon as Barney starts singing. And 'Run'. You might not like the lyrics, and thats fine. But you have to listen to those kick ass drums, and the keyboards, and that guitar duet thing towards the end. Some of you only appreciate the lyrical portion of there songs and thats sad.
I didn't like most of 'Republic'. I'm not sure if it was Hague's dated production or what - 'Regret' was excellent though.
Least favorite New Order tracks..
Let's see, there is many I can't listen too often, because listening to them a lot means suffering, while listening to them once in a while is ok.
I don't like :
Angel Dust
I don't like too much
Blue Monday Fine Time Shellshock Everything's Gone Green 586 We All Stand
And the list can go on.. I don't like 50% of Movement & PC&L.. I like 75% of Low-Life, 90% of Brotherhood and 95% of all the rest..
Not so bad.
I do prefer to talk about the songs that I like. For some reason, Blue Monday is not one of my favorite, even if it's New Order's biggest hit to date (and I doubt anything on Get Ready will beat that)... I don't hate it, It's just a track I don't listen too much, like Fine Time..
There might be others.. but well, I hate to talk about what I don't like about New Order.. there is so many good songs.. and pure gems that are unknown to those who don't possess the albums, that it's difficult to discuss bad songs.

I love Run, especially the mandolin part at the end - very cool and very original. The only other great song that I can think of with mandolin is "Losing my Religion" by REM.
In reply to the first post, i have Brotherhood on Lp and CD and both end with Every Little Counts. Did they reissue this album with the extra track (and tacky badge)? As for my least favorite, Run Wild on Get Ready would do just fine. The interview at dotmusic praised the song but any time singers start talking about Jesus i lose interest....musically the song is good but the chorus wrecks the track.

One day, we'll finish the discography... :D
Well, there is some extra tracks on many CD release.. the canadian CD has State of the Nation and the Bizarre Love Triangle Shep Pettibone Mix as extra tracks for instance.

BRIAN - would you say that Mr. Disco had a naff chorus also? - such a beatiful verse, but the chorus, dear me.
i've always enjoyed Mr.Disco. I find my self singing it from time to time and it brings me some joy. Technique came out around the time i got my drivers liscense and that tape got worn to bits in the cassette deck. I read something about Mr.Disco in the literature section here i believe. Vanishing point, Dream Attack (my favorite) Run... more lyrics from Run Wild...
Far and wide? Sweet and simple jehova knows that i've been sinful but if jesus comes to take your hand i wont let go
i'm trying to look past the lyrics because the music is so nice to this track but its not easy...i keep expecting Barney to sing
the chorus to Movin On Up by Primal Scream
I don't like any of the songs on movement, except 'Dreams Never End'. I listened to Movement at the CD store, and I didn't even buy it. The only album I don't own.
yep! it's got to be state of the nation for me. it's funny though good or bad songs can be the complete opposite when it comes to a live perfomance. i think almost everyone can agree on that one. i think temptation is a great song, but i get bored when i hear it live.
i don't like the song prodical son, but that's electronic.

As I tried to say before, the least greatest NO song for mine is either "Hurt" or "Confusion", although both have sadly appropriate titles.
Oh, and thats not a mandolin at the end of Run either - it's an acoustic 12-string guitar.

Liv - rest assured State of the Nation is one of New Order's crowning glories. It is a superb song, so intense its unreal. The singing is excellent, most probably down to the recording technique (i.e. the close-to-Barney's mouth raw vocal mic.) - the throbbing bass is excellent, Hooky's on-form and the fucking keyboards at the beginning sned shivers down my spine! -
Even Shame of the Nation, I put that on nowadays and it still sounds fresh. Did you ever see them play SOFN on The Tube? - Barney had a long yellow jumper on and looked about 10 year old... magic.
State of the Nation is a CLASSIC New Order track.
Hunter,
Well, im glad to see im not the only person who appreciates a classic. I totally get the spine shivers bit, I fucking love this track, makes me go all tingly when i hear it. I get the same effect from 1963 if im in the right mood....
Liv
____________________ So Hip It Hurts
Spot on Liv and Nicholas (sorry that I kept calling you Hunter before but I thought that that was your first name). SOTN is a real tough track and perfect for the time when it was released - the NO gigs at the time were getting, how shall I put it, boisterous(!)to say the least and this seemed to sum up the feeling at the time. I remember the Tube appearance - didn't he have white socks on too? I still reckon the Fine Time appearance on TOTP was the best though :-)
I'm not to fond of Rock the Shack, dosn't seem to fit in.

Those were the days.....
Liv
____________________ So Hip It Hurts
Fine Time on TOTP was when Barney Bloggsed up complete with a pair of dungas and did a Bez.
When they did 'Riverside' was good too as was 'Whistle Test' live from the Hac - they did 'As it is..' then 'Sunrise' and Barney threw his guitar on the floor and a roadie just managed to fix it in time for the first guitar break. Rock 'n' roll!
The Radio 1 dual radio/tv appearance was pretty bad though. You could see that they were really uncomfortable playing in a clinical, un-atmospheric studio.
Well I dont know about you guys, but I can't stand Every Little Counts or aEvery Second Counts or whatever.. I dont even bother to find out the name of the song, thats how little I care for it. But that's the only song I can complain about. I used to dislike ICB too, but now it's growing on me. And about Rock The Shack... When compared to the other Get Ready Songs like Crystal, it's a little weak, but still not bad. But like somebody said earlier, there are no BAD New Order songs, just regular or weaker ones.

____________________ So Hip It Hurts
That makes me think : is their anyway to see that TOTP performance ("Fine Time") anywhere on a website or something. I heard about it a lot but never saw it... Maybe the webmasters of this site... :)
Run is awful. So is the video. What were they thinking? But, I'd still rather listen to a "bad" NO song over 90% of whats out there.
Can't understand why people don't like 'Run'-think it's a cracker personally..least favourite of mine would probably be Ruined in a Day
Couldn't think of a track to put here but someone saying Angel Dust brings a nod of agreement from me. And perhaps All The Way. Not bad songs in their own right but I felt on both albums they were being held up as the 'harder' track when compared with their peers, whereas neither of them came close to earlier songs such as Age of Consent or Sunrise. Bit like Close Range from the new bunch - not bad, but not as 'kicking' as some might have us believe (Barney's comments at the Olympia, for one).
Am I the only one who doesn't like Spooky? That was pretty bad. The remix of it that appeared on The Rest of was excellent but the song itself wasn't very good.

Sorry, I disagree, Run is a cracking track, and the video, is very surreal, but strangely compelling... But hey, thats only my opinion!

Actually, I think Spooky has fantastic remixes. NONE of them are bad in my opinion, which is quite a rare thing these days.
I think the song itself could have turned out much better if it had been using a few elements from the remixes, such as the NewOrder In Heaven Mix, Stadium Mix and Magimix/Moulimix/Minimix.

I agree with what you say about the Spoky remixes-the moulimix(I think) which was used for the video and the Stadium mix were particuarly good. Think all the Crystal mixes are pretty decent-though I can understand the Bedrock mixes not appealing to everyone...
Sometimes it seems like it takes a good remix to bring out the best in a NO song. I wish there had been remixes of more songs from Republic.
I happen to love State of the Nation (especially when Barney "grunts", I think that is him :P ) I also do like Run, and the video is wonderful..very entertaining... but on the subject.. My least favorite would have to be 586 and most of Movement...

____________________ So Hip It Hurts
Sometimes, I have the impression that there's a lot of people that like "Movement" because it reminds them of Joy Division. I don't know... Maybe I'm wrong but I find "Movement" a rather difficult album to listen to. And anyway, if it was only for it, I would never have fallen for New Order.
I rarely listen top it. For me, it's just an important part of history, the link between JD and NO but the things that came just afterwards are so much more appealing ("Everyhing's Gone Green", "Temptation", "Age Of Consent"). With these songs, I would become a fan instantly.
But I already am a fan, so what's the point ? :)
I don't understand why everybody dislikes 586 so much; I like it a lot (although I skip the first minute and three quarters)

Okay...one more fooking try here...
I said something to the affect that I was amazed that not a single one of us has mentioned the 1990 release of world in motion...I mean, I got it, because it was a neworder thing, but really, what do any of us americans care about Eng-er-land's World Cup football club... just seeing if I am the only one....
____________________ 24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincedence? I think not!
actually jeff -
i liked the world in motion single. i still have the cassette in the car. i enjoy andrew weatherall's production and the instrumental. i also liked the mystique of the "loves got the world in motion" ecstasy reference. at the time i was totally obsessed with english music and culture so a football song by new order was 2 for the price of 1.
I agree with Barney. He said "Blue Monday" in Liverpool the other week.
Thud, Thud, Thud, Thud etc.
PS Sunrise was always the best.
blue monday should be dropped from the live set without a doubt. Surnise, Ceremony, Theives Like Us ...something from Technique, perhaps Dream Attack...i would like to see a poll started where the fan club votes for what they would most like to hear live and maybe get the band to respond. its either that or Allen and his gang of merry hooligans will follow them every stop of the tour shouting "CEREMONY" during the quiet parts...

I've always loved that one as well! I think Stephen Morris mentionned where the "don't put your finger on the button" was taken from in the ABSOLUT NEW ORDER interview that was in Select magazine back in 1993. Unfortunately I lended my copy of the magazine to Nicolas LAST OCTOBER so that he could scan it FOR THE SITE (I don't own a scanner myself), and he still has it.

You know I heard it was something from WWII but I couldn't put my finger on it, and the origin of the name Joy Division just explains it a little more...
'Don't put your finger on the button' is an excerpt taken from a small British film made in the late 80's. It was a made-for-tv film a bit like 'Pennies from Heaven' or 'The Singing Detective'. It was not unlike a play made for tv. It was mostly some couples on a canal boat on holiday, you know, the BBC2 style films that are shown every now and then. In one of the scenes the phrase is said a few times - not science fiction I'm afraid, just some geezer with his finger on one of the buttons on the boat.
Me and my mate were watching TV one night and we managed to stumble across this film, we were both into New Order and said 'Fucking hell', that's the 'Don't Do It' sample. Oh well, there you go.
Republic - what a mixed bag of opinions everybody's coming out with. Regret, World, Ruined in a Day, Avalanche, Everybody Everywhere, Spooky - for fuck's sake its not Power, Corruption and Lies, but let's face some facts here - when I first heard PC&L it was a pile of shite... its only years after you think, fuck it, its not that bad. Ecstasy off PC&L... any better than Spooky? - I fucking think not. Your Silent Face, well there's another thing.
Strange you bring up 'Ecstasy' coz it's about my favourite off that album...very twisted and dark. The fact that I haven't listened to republic for about 2 years explains my feelings about that album
we live in such a beautiful world everyone here loves NO but has some different favourite songs.
well for EVERYONE EVERYWHERE... 10 points the other standout on REPUBLIC

Dan, do you actually own Technique? Run is the beginning of a glorious effort (as in side 2 vinyl). Jesus~! Am I missing the fucking point here, wimpy? Bollocks.
my winners for "the worst/less good New Order song" competition are:
last december i´ve been to a funk-punk party were the dj tried to play funky 80ies ebm and new wave CONFUSION was ass-shaking the CONFUSION version on SUBSTANCE is crap also TEMPTATION 87 TURN THE HEATER ON was one of IAN CURTIS favourite songs
Fuck me Sonic Mike you've fucking said something I bastard agree with. Thank fuck I've found some other fucker out there who agrees that Temptation '87 and Confusion '87 were absolute filthy badger.
Why oh fucking why did they not just put the bastard originals on Substance?
Marco We all Stand and Turn the Fucking Radiator up are two classic moments.
This Post is going to ramble on forever.
For me, the worst NO song has to be...................................................................................... erm, ................................... thinking ........................................................ hhmmmmm............................ something off Movement. ICB stands for Ian Curtis Buried by the way.

I think the 2nd half of Technique is my favourite sequence of any songs from any band..starting with Run and ending in my personal favourite NO track; Dream Attack.
I think I'm breaking all the records of posts and views with that topic... Almost 1.000 views, keep them coming... :)
Am I proud or am I proud ?
huntsman: the original versions will sure be the on a greatest hits sampler when the band is too old to produce good songs, this will pay their rent
Fucking hell Geoff you are indeed the king of all known posts you jammy get. I had noticed 1,000 views coming close.... if you reach this landmark you should be rewarded with a small cake. Why don't you eat some crisps in celebration.
Mike, I genuinely believe that at the time NO felt that Temptation and Confusion needed Stock Aitken and Waterman production, the soft nackas.
... well that's up to you, personally, I'll be eating crisps in your honour.

Personally I prefer 1963 to Fine Time. Nothing to do with the statement they are making about the time or anything to do with that. I prefer it based totally on the fact that i like the melody and the sounds.... very basic idea, but very true.
Besides, Barney himself said that his didnt have a message for the world, he simply writes his songs/lyrics because he likes them..........ands thats why i choose to like them too.....

if we are here...
is there...I mean, really, is there any New Order tune that is our least favorite??? While I was at work last night...BLT came one (which I had posted as my least favorite)...and I was still hopping around like a pogo stick...

How about the rest? Is there somewhere they are on video or DVD?
I'm so sick of reading the topic of THIS thread that I'm about to LOCK it !!!!!

Wow, what a long thread! Before this thread is locked, I'll put my vote in for World In Motion. Bought the single when it came out, and I like football, it's just that I wasn't knocked out by the tunes or lyrics. I like the other mixes, but the single mix I thought sounded like a step back rather than a step forward at the time.
Personally I can't stand "All Day Long", or "Every Little Counts" - I was really disappointed with Brotherhood at the time, having heard most of them live several times for the previous 12 or so months - just didn't like the production. I suppose every record throws up one or two you don't go much for though, with the exception of Low Life, which was, and still is, fantastic.
help me somebody help me i wonder where i am i see my fucking future before me I'll hurt you when i can
Shit I've just waited about 10 minutes for this thread to reveal itself and I don't want to waste the opportunity of saying something really important before we're all band out of this crazy place.

Oops, Huntsmania, what did you say ? Erm... Thanks anyway... :)
Alright, this time, it's gone for GOOD.
Sorry, I'll try to do a multi-page topic one day, to avoid having a page taking so long to load!!
