- "Just like the ocean or the sea...", that booming Brotherhood bass
- "Just like the ocean or the sea..."
- It sounds like they wrote up the song in five minutes the night before the album was due. This is why I like it.

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:)
- The bassline. The way it flows with the Barney's guitar is just magical.
- 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.
- 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.

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