Same format again: 1. Best bit, 2. Worst bit, 3. why you love/hate it, 4. a percentage rating.

This one should cause some trouble:

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%....


Everyone needs to believe in something. I believe I'll have another beer!

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.)

1. Best part: The intro, the guitars
2. The worst part: It just doesn't mean much to me
3. I like it because it has Instrumental potential, 'bout it. A definate B song.
4. Rating: I'll give it a nice 70%

When eyes just turn and stare
The day begins, collapsing without warning
You fade from sight, there's nothing there..."
