The worst New Order single.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 5 January 2018 02:17 (six years ago) link
Maybe the worst up to that point, as you say, but looking at the 2CD "Singles" comp, I can find at least nine I like less.
― Hans Holbein (Chinchilla Volapük), Friday, 5 January 2018 03:21 (six years ago) link
I'd say Jetstream is quite comfortably their worst single overall.

I believe they wrote State of the Nation in a day (or unusually quick) for Pretty In Pink. I don't mind it, but I couldn't defend it outside of personal preference. It's not better than Shellshock, but I really like the intro until Bernard vomits up that horrible lyric. The backing vocal on the chorus is pointless. Despite all the bad, I still like it. State of the Nation is my least favorite 1986 sleeve. Shellshock is my favorite, then BLT.

"shellshock" was the pretty in pink track.

Yeah, you're right, I thought I had read something in Substance about State being done around the same time but I just flipped through the mentions in Substance and there's nothing there.

Hooky's bassline in this early live version of State of The Nation from 1985 is pretty good. I think it's one of his weakest basslines, which could be what drags the song down.
The whole Leuven show is enjoyable.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CLZ53BmgD5A&t=1474s

Our soaraway number 2 right here in new unseen footage from Manchester’s Student Union on February 6 1981. Messy but as a comment cheeringly points out 'New Order's sloppy mess sounds better than most bands' A game'.

How I ranked their albums a few months ago.
― Your sweetie-pie-coo-coo I love ya (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 29 January 2019 01:46 (five years ago) link
Ranking their British top forty singles.

Not much to disagree with, except with the record-buying public of the UK. How could they not have sent three of the best (in fact, three of my four favourite New Order singles - "Perfect Kiss", "Bizarre Love Triangle" and "Run") into the Top 40?
― dorsalstop, Tuesday, 14 May 2019 09:07 (five years ago) link
sad that i lost the original image in this poll. .
Alfred, this is a good list, i will have to come back and dissect it a bit later.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 15 May 2019 02:56 (five years ago) link
thanks!

Why does nobody else love "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" like I do? I can barely make it to the end without tears welling in my eyes.

The song or the album? I love both but It seems like that is the minority opinion. Turn is fantastic too.
― brotherlovesdub, Wednesday, 15 May 2019 05:10 (five years ago) link
The song, specifically - the album has a few dodgy moments but the song is perfect, for my money. If only Gillian had been on board, it would have been the perfect elegy for the original lineup.

Yeah, remind me where these songs charted on the Billboard Hot 100 again? ;)
I do know what you mean, though, 'Bizarre Love Triangle' particularly really should have been a Top 40 hit, especially in 1986. I was just looking at what the actual Top 40 was the week that 'Bizarre Love Triangle' peaked at #56 and it's better than the entire Top 20.

Who cares what's in the Billboard Hot 100? :S
― dorsalstop, Wednesday, 15 May 2019 19:57 (five years ago) link
Not me, that's for sure.
― Le Baton Rose (Turrican), Wednesday, 15 May 2019 20:04 (five years ago) link
Original image? I still have them all, Bee OK. Which one were you referring to?
― Millsner, Sunday, 19 May 2019 13:56 (five years ago) link
I love "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" (the song - the album is merely OK). The chorus and bridge are really affecting.

this was the first poll i ever run on ILM, now i'm at around 10. i have noticed that the images have disappeared and have been promising to correct that. this poll also started a new trend for these artist ballot polls where there were co-contributors. i did the balloting with the roll out and Millsner did the images for this one. i wanted to get this done before we start the first artist poll for this new decade and ironically it will start at ILM Ballot Poll 100 for 2020.

love that the sources for the pictures are included on themthis was a serious PITA, but unattributed pics are so rampant on fan pages that I would've felt shitty for perpetuating the problem.― Millsner, Thursday, May 30, 2013 1:48 PM (six years ago)

Very fond memories of working on these. One of the all-time best ILM polls, I’ll humbly add.
