- BEST BIT - 2nd verse
- WORST BIT - the end drags
- WHY YOU LOVE OR HATE IT - maybe because i used to like a jolene. i like the layered vocals
- RATING - 77%
- FAVORITE PLACE TO SHAFT - kitchen
- Pulsating sequencer, Barney's vocals
- The fact that the vocals are multi-layered, Hooky's bass is too whiny and tinny sounding
- Merely ok opening track
- 30%
- The bathroom at Subway, or at a tanning bed booth.
The simplistic but oh-so-effective chorus, the middle parts of the song itself, of course bleedin' Hooky's basslines, the sha-la-las, hell, most of it.
The production on Brotherhood in general sometimes feels like a bit of a mess, an intentional mess maybe, but that's why I couldn't appreciate the song fully at first.
I love it both live and on the album, even the 316 performance qualifies. The vocal and bass hooks are amongst their catchiest and I love Barney's horny vocals; in the album version especially with the colder and the more desperate vocals communicating with each other.

Bathrooms in general. And saunas of course. :p
Love some of the live performances of Paradise when at the end Barney thrashes his guitar--wa wawa wa wawa wa wa wah
Lyrics a bit confusing and too inbterchangable
I rate it a 85% I think they could have done alot more for this and I hope it will be on the setlist for the next tour.
In my own bed
Best bit - it sowed the seeds of what became Crystal in Bernard's mind
Worst bit - lyrics, bassline, I could keep on
The Shergold 6-string Marathon really wasn't made for this type of Clone Theory-enhanced run up the fretboard, it sounds alien. Maybe down an octave it wouldn't grate so much, but I dunno. The lyrics are typical empty brain Bernard.
25% - please God they don't resurrect it for the next gigs.
In the shower.
I like th esong. It's a typical New Order one. I prefer the 316 version (or the Peel sesions one, of the same year). I also like the 87' remix on the flipside of one of "True Faith" remixes.:)
love this track superb 6 string bass line.Tried playing an octave down Tim ..... sounds crap.
Best Part: Bernard's voice, which is at it's most intriguing on this song. What I like: as stated, Bernard's vocal delivery, but also the great bass, and the layering/multi-tracking Dislike: the "whoos" are out of place and detract from the song. Rating: 85% Shag: wherever my wife is.
BEST BIT - "Jolene" - which I never understood until I realized it was a NAME lol.
WORST BIT - all the remixes.
WHY YOU LOVE OR HATE IT - album filler. but good album filler.
RATING - 3.5/5
FAVORITE PLACE TO SHAFT - without a comforter.
best: 316 or In Session worst: the text: I WANT you love/hate: very energetic feeling, no hate rate: 4/5 pts: ?
- "I want ya...I want ya...I neehheeed ya...I neeeheed ya...Dadadadada-dadadadada-dadada-da-da-da-da"
- no thing
- I love it since I saw the 316-DVD, don't exactly know what got me... Great song

- Isn't Shaft this black police guy? (Richard Roundtree and Samuel L. Jackson played him) I admit I never saw one of the movies...
Best bit : pre-chorus and chorus... very cold-angry/frustrated... really evocative ; when Barney starts singing as well
Worst bit : maybe they could have spared some shalalalala
Why I like it : because everytime I think of a girl I want to go out with and I play this, it just happens (true story - this song is pure magic)
Rating : 90%
Best place to shaft : my bed baby
