Best bit--the guitar after Dawn is done wailing

Worst bit--timing/spacing of 1st verse sounds like "if you leave me I'm applauded"

Why I love it--it is a classic NO song--mix of acoustics and synth, guitars, bass keys and drums, perfect "bitch done me wrong" lyrics and in general a rockin' bastard

rating--100%

Best: Powerful once the drums and guitar kick in, Hooky's bass adds another notch, and the keyboards (Gillian?) seal the deal. Barney's guitar solo on the 5 11 DVD compells me to nearly blow my speakers every damn time.

Worst: Suffers from 586itis, the intro is tooooo sloooww and the wailing of the backup singer, this is not Pink Floyd people.

Love/Hate?: Shows they still have some fight and fire left in em.

Yeah it def ROCKS OUT.Brilliant bass by Hooky.Brilliant piano bit.Great comeback track - no other song would have done the job as good.Lee Coombs mix is the bollocks.

But why is Bernard "aplauded" if she leaves him? "ITS LIKE HONEY YOU CANT BUY IT WITH MONEY"

On second or third listen it evoked that incredible unique feeling you get with a new New Order song when you just think Fuckin hell this band are from heaven!!

Originally posted by Voice Of Treason . But why is Bernard "aplauded" if she leaves him?

No, it's "I'm a poor man if you leave me". It's just that the way the lines are run together can be a bit confusing.

No, it's "I'm a poor man if you leave me". It's just that the way the lines are run together can be a bit confusing.

Ah so the next line is "Im aplauded / then forgotten".That makes more sense.Cheers Shelley. But im still not convinced about this Honey /Money thang!!

Not one of my favourite NO tunes. Everything is in place for it to be good song but for some reason I find it quite boring. I just feel as if there's nothing to it really, pretty basic and boring. Hooky's bass is good though.

1. Great kick off track, fun (bitter) song.
2. I never saw the video for it and the honey/money lyric (even though it makes me giggle if that was their intent).
3. good song, not my favorite but very respectable.
4. 75

1. best bit; Thunderous atmospherics.
2. worst bit; The video - after the 93 hiatus they still won't show their ass - typical NO: but was dying for this first glimpse of the resurrection in the flesh.
3. It's just a great tune all round, no flab.
4. 95%.

Did anyone notice the band name on the drums in the video 'The Killers' - accident or purposeful eyewinker???

1. the intro and Hooky's riffs as always!
2. i love the video but was it the start for the killers???
3. great comeback! love to hear it when i drive
4. 85%

Best bit - the 'they're back' feeling it always gives me Worst bit - knowing that it spawned the killers love it - yes i do %: about 96%

Best Bit-the intro where the guitar kicks in over the drum beat-OMG they are gonna rock!!

"Worst bit - knowing that it spawned the killers"

agreed and knowing that when I saw the video a few months back. "OH NOOOOOo" Tho I loved NO's sense of humor

I knew the Killers was Duran meets New Order

Love it? Damn right! the question at the time was do the geezers still got it? I would have to say YES!

1. best bit, >>> Good song,
2. worst bit, >>> The intro
3. why you love/hate it, >>> love the the message of the song, hate because it reminds me of someone, but you love to hate sometimes which feels good.
4. percentage rating >>>94%

When I ment hate the intro, it was for Crystal [Digweed and Muir Bedrock Radio Edit]

The Crystal [Radio Edit] is perfect.

Best: GREAT LOUD! Worst: drug implications (!) %: 90 play it again hooky

1. Best bit - hooky's bass
2. Worst bit -that annoying backing singer has no place on any New Order track
3. Why I love/hate it. I don't love or hate it, think it's good but not brilliant, quite a powerful song though.

2. Makes me feel cool as fuck.

3. Goes out with a whimper instead of a bang.

4. The bass.

5. 90%

Best: Hooky's solo. Well done sir. Reminds me of bamboo shoots for some reason.

Worst: Drags on a bit and live Hooky doesnt play the solo the way he does on the album.

Love/hate: The whole feel of how the intro builds up and it turns out to be all guitars and drums.

I love the lryics and the music is not bad it's still one of my favorites.

1. Best bit: The build up to the song proper starting after the long instrumnetal bit on the album version - the storm breaking...
2. Worst bit: I agree with those who say the album version is too long, but I'm not really sure what I would leave out - the single edit isn't necessarily better...
3. Love it: Yet again another great first single off an album, the first time I heard it it allayed all fears about the 'comeback' being a let-down...

1. Hooky´s bassline and interplay with guitar. Clever in its simplicity.
2. "Love´s like honey.." a bit cheesy.
3. An excellent come-back single as Regret was. The feeling when you first hear a new New Order single that is so strong.

great song,,,great bass,,, usual barney lyrics,,, a break from tradition,,,"dawn our singer".and a j.d type guitar "solo"!

keep it coming.................

i love the video...and remember that the killers took their name out that video

One of the best NO singles ever for me... As magnificent as "Ceremony" or "Blue Monday"!

1. best bit The whole song! (Album Version, of course)

2. worst bit Hooky's bass solo sounds great on studio, but a little bit different and without the same "beauty" on stage.

3. why you love/hate it Simply one of my favorites with "Ceremony", "EGG", "Temptation", "Blue Monday" and "Fine Time".

4. percentage rating 99.9%

beatiful song...and the video is one of my favorites NO videos

1. I really like the way the song starts out and its overall melody. the simplicity of the guitar playing.

2. the lady singer.

3. i love it because you can still dance to it. i don't hate it.

4. love-100%

There's something strange with the song'intro. WHERE ARE WE GOING ? it sounds like the PF'Great Gig in the sky! Then the guitar riff. Very simple. A middle rock tempo. In this song there's every little thing to make it nice. But not great. Sorry. I like the "solo" guitar line. These three littles "notes de musique". Maybe i just like the song for them... Or just because it's the N.O'return song. WHo knows?

A song to get chucked out of Summer Pops to!!!!

1. Theres a guitar in it!

2. The chorus I find a bit gringy...

3. I'd say I dont like it THAT much due to the general Music video that accompanied it...

4. 60% :)

1. the music video, dawn zee backing vocals, and a lot of other stuff
2. a number of remixes and other versions are sub-par
3. same as number 1. The album version is the best version
4. A-

Indeed*!*
