  1. Best bit, Bobby Gillespies name on it, I need a scapegoat, as someone who bought 'Give Out But Don't Give Up' I see his influence all over this.

  2. Worst bit, @2.34 the drawn out drawl 'riiiigwht' on the last repeat of 'get it right' just tops his drawn out drawl on the previous repetition of 'get it right' at 2.27

  3. why you love/hate it, It's funkin hideous, the one song if it was playing somewhere and someone piped up isn't that New Order? aren't they you're favourite band? I'd say erm, erm, erm, "I blame Gillespie", after pretending not to here the question.

  4. a percentage rating.

Well...I've said on many occasions that I really do enjoy this one...so here goes my little ranting!!!

  1. The whole damn thing....but I really like the part about being accused of everything (could very well be the story of my life!!!)

  2. Bobby's singing...we could do without that....Barney could have done this one all by his lonesome!

  3. Because it's just a rocking little ditty.

  4. I'll give this one a 99%....

  1. The guitar sound, it just seems like Barney's more inot a JD mode on certain riffs

  2. Bobby G.- It was interesting the first time around to hear someone even more off-key than Barn, but now it's just sad

  3. It's got the guitar-based fury of a Komakino or other lesser JD songs

  4. 75 % (down 10 points from 85 due to the aformentioned Bobby G.)

Best Bit: The guitars!!!

Worst Bit: Lyrics in the chorus

Why I love it(or hate it): Love the fury of the rhythm and the way Barney sings. Just hate the chorus.

Best Part - The Intro Worst Part - Bobby Gillespie's completely gormless vocals Why - The sleazy unhinged quality to the song overall - bit like witnessing some seedy strip show but seeing all the strippers' garments keep getting caught and entangled as they're being pulled off completely out of time to the music .... yee-ha! Rating - 90% (intro) 40% (rest of song.)

  1. Intro/Guitars
  2. Its too short
  3. Love it. Raw and punk influenced from the origins of JD/NO. Sounds great with Bobby G having been fortunate enough to have heard it live on the wed night at Brixton London Oct 2001, then again at the Horden Pavilion Sydney Jan 2002 without BG. Sounded just as good.
