Absolutely bloody essential. How brilliant is this song? Have a few beers and try not to sing "It seems like I've been here before" at the top of your voice. Impossible.

Never used to be a huge fan - sandwiched as it was between Ceremony and Temptation on Substance, but it kinda makes sense in that context - as a transition and a bloody good one it is to... The Factus 8 mini-LP is fast becoming one of my favourite line ups of NO tracks and EGG plays a big part in that...

gotta agree totally with that
Dammit, I love this song. It's probably one of my favorites, if not my favorite New Order Song. Other people have said why it's good and I can't be bothered typing it.
Are the ADVENT remixes of EGG anygood. I've found a couple of places that have copies of the CD and was wondering if it's worth buying?
ALl of those have 1 copy, each. They say they are CDS, but in discography on this site it only lists 12". I'm confused 
First time I heard EGG, I fell in love with it. It was a HUGE jump out of the shadows of JD, and a glorious one at that.
Ceremony started the perfection. PC&L perfected it.
EGG was its pefect bridge.
everythings gone green is a great song and a move forward ,,but then they were always moving forward. loved how it used to be played back to back with temptation live and joined up. lyrics had a hint about them as well.
why is the bedroom so cold.
Love to the beat of the show... wrote: First time I heard EGG, I fell in love with it. It was a HUGE jump out of the shadows of JD, and a glorious one at that.

Spot on!
Everythings Gone Green is freaking awesome compared to todays music...Everythings Gone to Hell.
Definitely VITAL and a HIT!
I first heard the song in 1988, and I really didn't care about it. But later on, when you become really knowledgeable about music, you will realize that its an amazing "new beat" way back in 1981.
Indeed!
I'm quite surprised about lots of the reactions about EGG. It has always been one of my favourite NO songs, perhaps because I bought it when it came out and I was still "forming" my musical tastes. My mates all took the piss out of it and out of me for listening to it. But I stuck to my guns and 26 years later most of them still agree it's a good track. I actually played it at my 40th birthday party to great reactions.
We used to have lots chin scratching discussions about whether Procession or EGG was better. For me it was EGG (I love Procession equally, though) because I was just always fascinated by synthesizers and sequencers and tight programmed rythmns. In fact I still like to mess about with my old arpeggiators- pity I don't have an ARP Quadra though!
Agree with all the comments about early live versions where the lyrics, melody and structure were developing (I really love it that NewOrder were happy to let a song evolve live over a period of time) And I really love to hear sequed versions of EGG and Temptation on bootlegs
EGG is just pure class really. Preferable to Temptation IMHO
