hmm... not a bad album at all, is it?
Tough one because I actually rate the B-sides from the singles to be better than most of it: ALL THAT I NEED(great riffs), I FEEL ALRIGHT (great synths) and A NEW RELIGION (could have been better but still nice and direct).
Anyhow, here goes:-

I never heard twisted tenderness. Is it any good? Any special guest? So i claim ignorance, ive never been a record collector.

Personally I think some songs of WFTSC could have been on Twisted Tenderness, they have the same mood: Morning Night and Day and Who´s Joe. And the song Twisted Tenderness´ has resemblance with the song Waiting for the Sirens´ Call´.

Thanks. I think there is a lyrical resemblance between "raise the pressure" and sirens' call.

Yes, both rather optimistic. But in Raise the Pressure the optimistic lyrics are artificial, due to Prozac.
Forbidden City is class! Easily their best song off RTP. Easily! Top 5? I'll give it a go...
I love this album even though it's a fan dis-favorite. Ah well, here's to being unique! ![]()

I agree! I mentioned this in a post before, too. It kinda reminds me of If You've Got Love. Kinda sorta. Euro-dancey and female backing vocals. I like them both. :D
This is my fave Electronic album by a long way... incredible how different they all are - 1st is pop fluffy, 2nd is Technique-y, 3rd is Rock The Shack time...
1.Freefall. 2.One Day. 3.For You. 4.Dark Angel. 5.Forbidden City.
This is the most NO Electronic LP I reckon...

This is my least favourite Electronic album but there are still some great tunes on there :)
Second Nature is my least favorite, and in fact the worst song of Electronic. Maybe it is something from England to like this song? I really don't understand why this had to be a single.
My favorites:
Great album,one of the best Marr's ever been on.
1.Second Nature 2.Forbidden City 3.For You 4.One Day 5.If You've Got Love
Brilliant Album~
That was hard to do because I love this album alot:)
I cant think of a top 5 but the best track for me is "Visit Me". Dont ask me why, I guess I like the build up, the strings, the different sound to normal. Reminds me of "Times Change" off republic which I also thought is a hidden gem.
for you--by a mile.its one of the most upish and dancable records ive ever heard.seems total new order.i even imagine hooky has popped into their studio for the mid record bass bit
Has to be Forbidden City. "There's not a hope while your in this kind of mood" Pretty much sums up Bernard and Hooky's relationship at the time.
As for Twisted Tenderness, cracking album, v.underated. "Find My Way Home" is exceptional.

Your favourite track is the only one Sumner/Marr didn`t write.

Quite right. It's a Blind Faith tune, which, if I remember rightly, included a very young Eric Clapton. Barney had never heard of them til Electronic did their own version. Still exceptional.
Id prolly rate this album better then the last 2 N.O. albums. My favorite song from this era was Imitation of Life

People actually like the female backing vocals? I always thought the songs would be SOO much better without them, that they gave a cheesy feel to them.

Very very tough. This is definitely my favorite NO side project album. But, here goes...
