Hey Now What You Doing

Now that the new stuff has had time to sink in

1. "Hey now, who's that with you? What's that thing I saw him give you? Turn round, don't come no closer, he took it from a shoulder holster."

2. Not calling it Road to Ruin

3. I loathed it at first for the same reasons I (still) loathe Rock the Shack, but the guitars here are more in the vein of epic, roaring, corny single string Britpop soloism that I enjoy.

4. A solid 80%

5. Trip to Japan, hopefully catching the Order again.

1 Best bit: everything but ... see No.2 2 Worst bit: "why don't you put that gun righ down" part 3 Love/hate: it's the fooking guitars I love so much 4 Percentage: 95% 5 What you got planned for the summer? Hyde Park, June 24 ;)

best: some of the guitar/keyboards

worst: Lyrics are pedantic. If barney had heard them when he was young he would have told the singer to piss off

Neutral

40% for NO song (80% against all other bands ;)

road trip to the pacific northwest

1 I like the guitar interlude just before the third chorus, and the bass during the chorus 2 It drags for a while, seems to lack a bit of 'something' 3 Growing on me a fair bit, disliked it at first 4 I'd give it a 60-70 5 Switzerland for a week, Putney for three, back in Cal for the rest

Great song, especially the guitars in the middle and at the end. I think Peter Buck of REM is jealous.

1 Best part is just about everything, sounded rather good live.

2 Worst bit is the line about writing songs on the computer, jars me a bit everytime.

3 Love it cause I found myself singing along with it live, always a good sign for me.

4 Percentage: 85%

5 Summer time? Already took two weeks of my vacation time, so it's trips to Seattle for baseball games with the Mariners, Mets, and Orioles.

1.Guitar,Vocals and good words. 2.Not one bad bit about this good song. 3.One of my best 4.95% 5.The summer will soon be gone but ive had a very good one watching this band a few times.....Bliss...

:)

1 - guitar, lyrics/vocal. 2 - can't think of any - maybe i'd like the guitar extended at the end for a few more bars 3 - love it - it has a great hook in the 'youve gotta hold' start of the chorus. Its a very sing-along-able neworder song - great driving track - reminds me of the better fleetwood mac songs 4 - 90% 5 - at this stage im hoping for an 'indian' summer - i'm getting used to all this sunshine

1 Best bit: You had the brightest future, writing songs on your computer... 2 Worst bit: I keep getting it confused with 'Hey Joe'. 3 Love/hate: You've got hold your heeeeead up high... 4 Percentage: 70% 5 What you got planned for the summer?: Autumn.

Best bit : the guitar and keyboard outro. Absolutely awesome!!!!

Worst bit: The first 2 second start. A bit weak. Tenuous ryhme of "future / computer" but thats just bloody Bernie for you which might also qualify as the best bit.

Love it.

88% winner. V Good song IMHO.

Summer? S**t. I missed it.

:bag:

Still a very strong best track for me off this Album. It's just such a really good catchy driving song. :) :) :)

1. Best Bit - The Instrumental bits, great guitar work.
2. Worst Bit - Some of the lyrics really suck!
3. Why I love Hate This Song - This song is growing on me, hated it when I first heard it, but the guitars are very cool.
4. 60% - I'm very hard to please

1 Best bit: The chorus, and the 2 guitar solo's 2 Worst bit: The song seems to drag on in a few spots. 3 Love/hate: Love 4 Percentage: 96% 5 What you got planned for the summer?: Nothing

1.I love the lyrics, melody and Bernard's voice in this song. Especially the part that goes "Is it love or is it hate? Banging on an open gate". 2.I don't know... 3.I think it's one of the best songs on WFTSC 4.90%

1 Best bits

The beginning when it sounds for all the world like a REM song about to start. (Think "Losing My Religion"). The guitar licks sprinkled throughout - they sound quite summery and remind be a bit of "Guilty Partner" in places.

2 Worst bits

The title. Why couldn't they have called it something more oblique like "Juggernaut" or something? Or "Road To Ruin" if they really must. That title they used is just so Oasis it's corny. The lyrics of course. New Order lyrics always let the song down something rotten. If it weren't for the lyrics most of the time every New Order song would probably get 10 out of 10. For instance I cannot get over the fact that the opening line is almost identical to the first track "Hey Joe". If the latter started with "Hey Joe WHERE You GOING?" it would have at least made a small difference, but no, the last three words are identical in each case.

3 Love/hate

I don't love it, I don't hate it, but it's catchy enough for me to play it repeatedly.
