1.Best bit.
2.Worst bit.
3.Percentage rating.
4.Why you love/hate it.
5.If you could go on holiday, anywhere in the world, where would you go?

1. You CONNED me with those feline tricks
2. Bit overlong
3. 75%
4. I think this is a great track. Laid back, chilled summer number. And a departure from the usual New Order route of songewriting. It reminds me of their other reggae song "Turn The Heater On".
5. Anywhere in South America.

1. Bernard's voice on the song, the rhythm and the general sound of it.
2. The female background singing towards the second half of the song is annoying.
3.75%
4. I like the sound of it, but the lyrics aren't that great and most of all, as I've said, the female background singing annoys me.(Well, any female background singer with New Order annoys me.)
5. Hiroshima, Japan

1.Best bit - when it ends
2.Worst bit - it's on the album
3.Percentage rating - 25%
4.Why you love/hate it - it doesn't follow on from the class of the 1st 4 tracks, would have been okay as b-side instead of lame remix, but at least it does warn you GIAUE is ahead.
5.If you could go on holiday, anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Well it's better than so much new music at the moment, but quite frankly down there with Liar as one of my least favourite NO efforts... I prefer Jetstream and that's sayiong something... Best bit is that fact that with the flick of a switch I can rewind back to Krafty... Worst bit is that I have to skip on a NO album...

1.Best bit.

It's all good. I like the Mondays-esque outro. And Bernard's line "It's an occupation I don't like / But it pays the rent, and turns on the lights." Classic Sumner, that. So bleedin' deadpan.


2.Worst bit.

None.

3.Percentage rating.

100%

4.Why you love/hate it.

It's irresistible.

5.If you could go on holiday, anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Northumberland.
