VICIOUS STREAK

1. Best bit: Nice chilled feel to it, good bass
2. Worst bit: Hasn't really got one
3. Why I love it: Change of pace after Crystal and 60MPH; sets things up nicely for Primitive Notion
4. Percentage rating: 85%

1. the vocals are nice and soothing, but i wanted Gillian to co-vocalize on it (too bad she doesn't on this album). the bridge is nice.
2. a little weak sounding
3. a decent song with some nice tenderness...maybe could be faster.

1. A pure synth-based song on Get Ready! The drumming (programming?), is crisp, esp. at the break near the ending bridge (the snippit on the 5 11 menu). Barney's singing and lyrics esp. strong on this one, more Republic era sounding than Get Ready (a plus point in my book)
2. The intro. Always sounded like a Nintendo game MIDI song for some reason
3. What I want from New Order on their next LP

dont skip past it, dont skip to it

1 Those simple piano chords in the final part, they're so touching... Oh, and Bernard singing wonderfully: "You've got a vicious streak for someone soyoooooung You're like the solar flair in the rising suuuuuun" 2 Get Ready is a great album but this song is unique, there aren't others sounding like it, I wish there were. 3 Best song on Get Ready, slightly second to Player In The League for the title of best song since 1989, that means best song of the last 15 years! 4 999.99%

PS: Try driving by night small roads in the country with VS on the car stereo... magic...

Its quite subtle,if you stripped Barneys vocal it could be a group like Boards Of Canada,Air or Royksopp. Thats the nice thing about it,its a change of direction but still fits in with their sound. A highlight on the album,would of made a good summer time single. :)

The class act of 'Get Ready'

What the heck is going on in this thread?

This song is cool - particularly if someone close to you is behaving like 'a solar flare in the morning sun' and 'you keep hanging on' regardless...

Good bit of ambient synthwork/psychedelic lyricism among the predominant guitararama of GR.

Fair cop-I remember there's SOME guitar on it but nowhere near as much as the rest of GR.

This is one of those songs I code incessantly to. Truly love its simplicity and focus on instrumentation. Again, lonely music which fits the summary at the conclusion of the song.

Kinda reminds me of me, when I was 20'ish and rather stupid.

1. Great song, best bit is the into/build up which reminds me of Thieves Like Us
2. Worst bit - can't think of one
3. Love it
