BROKEN PROMISE

well, being a new new order fan i don't know it (yet)...but i'd like to kill Jamie Oliver by picking him up with a crane, swinging him round and round til he's quite dizzy and worried, pretend to put him down then dropping him in a bug vat of cement. When he's solidified, he will be placed in the centre of trafalga square as a warning to all other mockneys. Alwight guv? pukka!

1. Best thing about this song is the lyrics, plus the tempo.

2. Worst thing is the back-up vocals, or are they double-tracked? Just a minor annoyance IMO.

3. Since it follows As It Is..., it inevitably pales a bit in comparison, but is still a fine slab of classic NO.

4. Rating at 85%

5. Death of JO? Remember the Monty Python skit about being eaten by crocodiles? Marinate him in some lemon juice for a tempting taste treat for the reptiles.

1 a good fast paced rock song 2 could have had a clearer sound 3 I like the way it builds up and i really like those little "ah ah" (dont know how to describe them)sounds in the background near the end. 4 83% 5 street justice

1. Best part: Guitar
2. Worst part: It's pretty short...
3. Why I like it: Well, I don't know why I don't listen to it much. But I had to refresh my memory for this review. It's actually a really good song. I just have to be in the mood for it.
4. Rating: 80%

Broken Promise by Iain

1. great guitar! I love the note picking/quasi solo at the end
2. production is muddy (not original , I know, but it is!)
3. not sure, but definitely my favorite from Brotherhood
4. 125% an all time fav
5. we don't have the same problem with JO inundation in the States that you do in the U.K. but . . . how about blindsided by a tractor trailer (lorry, for you Brits) carrying a load of pigs while he's riding that mod prissy scooter of his. painful, smelly, and I'm sure there's a lot of tasteless jokes that could come from it.

Congrats, Major, on the 1000th post. I saw Shug's post about his computer problem. Say Hi for me if you chat with him, I haven't been around in a couple weeks.

1. Great bass riff - love the song
2. Desperately poor production
3. A brilliant live song, I was a bit disappointed with the recorded version to be honest
4. 85%
5. Disembowellment with a Fender Precision - twist it in and watch that headstock go to work !

1. The chorus
2. Too much like Isolation at the start? (is that a bad thing?)
3. I love it 'cos you can never get bored of hearing it.
4. 90%
5. Buried in a herb filled window box.

1. Some lovely instumental work all the way thru the song

2. Haven't listened to it in ages, so I couldn't tell you anything bad about it

3. The chorus is pretty good

4. 78%

5. 16 ton weight (that'll shut his trap)

:D

Actually, I was thinking of Way of Life when I responded to the query :D. I'll have to pop Bro'hood in this afternoon in order to form a valid opinion about Broken Promise....

Well, Broken Promise...uh..I gotta listen to this one

and, for total ignorance, who is Jamie Oliver...although I do like the Street Justice method myself...but fill me in please

1. lyrics! :)
2. the last verse, the vocal is a little too muddy. i wish it were clearer.
3. love it because it's dead on musically, the vocal is great, the lyrics are good...it all comes together quite nicely. top form, it is. ^^
4. eh...85%?
5. as mentioned earlier on in this thread, we don't suffer from the same sort of overexposure to Jamie Oliver in the States that all you lot in the UK do. so as a result, i wouldn't wish to kill him...and in fact, would be quite happy to take him off your hands for you should you wish to get rid of him. ;)

On a bootleg I've got of Tower Ballroom '86 you can hear some fucker in the background growling along to this...its well funny.

Ahem ! As the "fucker" who recorded it and got told off by Hooky for guessing the song.......

1. The guitar overload as the song progresses (reminds me a bit of "Sunrise")
2. The terrible mix of the whole bloody thing
3. Not the best New Order song - a bit derivative of their better moments. I remember this track was titled "Broken Guitar Strings" in some ancient pre-Brotherhood NME gig review!

1. Good intro
2. Lyrics and melody are shite, one of their more bland songs in my opinion, just does nothing for me.
3. Much like most of the LP, it gets in the way of BLT, All Day Long, and Angel Dust.

Remember them playin it live on The Tube & thinkin Fuck Me!

Best Bit--guitar before last verse Worst Bit--too short I have always loved this tune, I remember the first time I heard, it was on the radio one night and I cranked it up. Powerful.

Who the fuck is JO? Executioner needs to know before arranging the death.

JO must be dead, he can't have always looked like that
