Best Bit-the intro where the guitar kicks in over the drum beat-OMG they are gonna rock!!

"Worst bit - knowing that it spawned the killers"

agreed and knowing that when I saw the video a few months back. "OH NOOOOOo" Tho I loved NO's sense of humor

I knew the Killers was Duran meets New Order

Love it? Damn right! the question at the time was do the geezers still got it? I would have to say YES!

When I ment hate the intro, it was for Crystal [Digweed and Muir Bedrock Radio Edit]

The Crystal [Radio Edit] is perfect.

1. Best bit - hooky's bass
2. Worst bit -that annoying backing singer has no place on any New Order track
3. Why I love/hate it. I don't love or hate it, think it's good but not brilliant, quite a powerful song though.

2. Worst bit: n/a

3. Why you love/hate it: I love it, cause it's just a cool song with a wicked sound to it. I actually didn't care for this song at first, but it grew on me big time later.

Best: Hooky's solo. Well done sir. Reminds me of bamboo shoots for some reason.

Worst: Drags on a bit and live Hooky doesnt play the solo the way he does on the album.

Love/hate: The whole feel of how the intro builds up and it turns out to be all guitars and drums.

1. Best bit: The build up to the song proper starting after the long instrumnetal bit on the album version - the storm breaking...
2. Worst bit: I agree with those who say the album version is too long, but I'm not really sure what I would leave out - the single edit isn't necessarily better...
3. Love it: Yet again another great first single off an album, the first time I heard it it allayed all fears about the 'comeback' being a let-down...
