I feel so extraordinary somePoll's got a hold on me: NEW ORDER artist poll #37 (RESULTS thread)

Give it time. In the end you will in the end you will

Low Life is essential for students of Bernard's vocal stylings ("oh HOW I CAN-NOT BEAR the THOOOOOUGHT OF YOOOOO").

just reading that is making my skin crawl

"Sooner Than You Think" is a mad underrated lil narrative.

xp standard bearer for a proud lineage of whoops and oooophs

(it was after this album that I decided I would never see New Order live because I didn't think I could take Bernard's voice in a live setting)

SOMETIMES IN LIFE YOU TAKE A TUMBLE

Yeah, Sooner Than You Think never gets enough credit

Y'all are being way too hard on Bernard's singing!

ooh!

I'm seeing them for the first time in July, will report back on whether Mr. Sumner is up to the task.

Don't let anybody tell you that you're no good, cuz you know they would.

Imagining what a masterpiece Shannon would have made of "This Time of Night" is a fruitless exercise.

I truly have 0 problems with his singing -- I think it's charming, enthusiastic, and full of character.
Ooh!

first Electronic album would have been my #1 by a mile

Yeah might have been interesting to include it - even though Marr is involved it always sounded like NO to me. I rank it up there with Technique which was my #1.

so are we ready to start this thing for real?

I only have a problem with his voice when I compare it to others.

again a big thanks you to Millsner for the pictures.

FYI: http://open.spotify.com/user/djperry1973/playlist/62YSDYuNcMWbrUBYTl8kh6

I'll make this collaborative so I'm not the only one updating it

I don't think that picture URL works for anyone besides you? You may need to host the pics somewhere.

damn thanks for letting me know DJP

be back after we get the kinks worked out.

Goddamn it I confuse "Mesh" and "Hurt."

That's beautiful. Excited about these images now. Peter Saville wouldn't tolerate an ugly rollout.

hey Millsner can you check your email

yep. saw my reply? you should have received a notice from photobucket.

#1 video and #1 album both OTM.

Wow, those pics!

ultraviolence is tremendous live, but I always used to confuse it with 5-8-6 and ecstasy.

gonna have to listen to Mesh again, never recall it making much of an impact.

I had forgotten that "Ultraviolence" is great

It's the one with the vocoder, right? The only word I ever made out was the title, once.

i have never been able to remember the names of the songs on PC&L and finally i remembered this one! so glad it showed up!

Sumner was actually castigating young Dan for hating his voice.

Ecstasy is the one with the vocoder.

I always ranked Mesh as the least of their early b-sides, which I guess is reflected in its ranking here. I'm surprised it placed at all! it doe have a cool kind of chilly spaghetti western vibe.

I am hoping that "Procession" ranks really, really high
