1. best bit: The piano break... I just love this.
2. worst bit: The intro of the album version
3. why you love/hate it: I prefer the single version, it's powerful and it does the job, it just feels right that way... the problem with Crystal is that I got a mp3 of it much too early, so it wasn't new when the single was released...
4. percentage rating: 80%

Yeah it def ROCKS OUT.Brilliant bass by Hooky.Brilliant piano bit.Great comeback track - no other song would have done the job as good.Lee Coombs mix is the bollocks.

But why is Bernard "aplauded" if she leaves him?scratch
"IT`S LIKE HONEY YOU CAN`T BUY IT WITH MONEY" Skeptical

On second or third listen it evoked that incredible unique feeling you get with a new New Order song when you just think Fuckin hell this band are from heaven!!

No, it's "I'm a poor man if you leave me". It's just that the way the lines are run together can be a bit confusing.

Ah so the next line is "I`m aplauded / then forgotten".That makes more sense.Cheers Shelley.
But i`m still not convinced about this Honey /Money thang!!

Not one of my favourite NO tunes. Everything is in place for it to be good song but for some reason I find it quite boring. I just feel as if there's nothing to it really, pretty basic and boring. Hooky's bass is good though.

1. best bit; Thunderous atmospherics.
2. worst bit; The video - after the 93 hiatus they still won't show their ass - typical NO: but was dying for this first glimpse of the resurrection in the flesh.
3. It's just a great tune all round, no flab.
4. 95%.

Did anyone notice the band name on the drums in the video 'The Killers' - accident or purposeful eyewinker???


...just another day in the week, waiting for an opportunity to step in front of me...

Best bit - the 'they're back' feeling it always gives me
Worst bit - knowing that it spawned the killers
love it - yes i do
