It has all the elements there to make a great New Order song but doesn't always work for me.Nice Hooky melodies though.But maybe nice just isn't enough.Still ,when i listen to it now it always reminds me of getting ready to go to my first NO gig back in 86:)

  1. The bassline. The way it flows with the Barney's guitar is just magical.
  2. The lyrics...the words just make no sense whatsoever, but it really doesn't bother me that much. It's to be expected sometimes with New Order.
  3. I love it because it really takes me away to a different place in my mind when I listen to it. It's has this adventurous, "cinematic" kind of feel to it, similar to Ceremony or Procession.

  5. I don't like the stuff they're doing now, but Achtung Baby is a fine album.
