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)

It’s OK that you don’t have the rest, because I do :)

Very fond memories of working on these. One of the all-time best ILM polls, I’ll humbly add.
― Millsner, Thursday, 20 February 2020 04:12 (four years ago) link
it was great fun.
thanks for the pictures all over again. i want a hard copy so since i'm downloading them anyways, i'm going to continue this exercise.

ok, i'm done now

So, do we think Singularity would place in the top twenty now? I'd be tempted to vote it very high.

These pictures are beautiful Millsner, you did an amazing job with this poll. You too Bee!

They're touring with the Pet Shop Boys ...

got invited to this but i think i have seen New Order enough in my life. i will see.
― Bee OK, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 02:42 (four years ago) link
I've never seen New Order so I'm kind of all over this

The three times I've seen them have been Hook-less, all good to outstanding.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 17:52 (four years ago) link
I've seen them ...4 times, maybe? One with Hook, the rest without, but they've all been good. However, every time I've seen the PSBs (maybe 5?) they've been better, or at least I had a better time. NO always felt pretty nostalgia show, as solid as they were. PSB introduced more surprises: different mixes, a good selection of songs. The bigger question is whether the two will collaborate on any of the Electronic songs. A highlight of seeing Johnny Marr the last time he came through town was him playing "Getting Away With It."
(Note to tour people: they should just add Johnny Marr to the bill, as featured player.)
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:05 (four years ago) link
I saw them once with Hook way back in 1989, which I'm grateful for simply because I think the various emerging solo ventures after that essentially broke what had been a steady dynamic (at least in terms of Sumner/Hook/Morris having been working together since '77). But I've not seen them since, so I'm intrigued to see them again now with all that time and distance. That 1989 crowd was a worshipful LA-area KROQ bedrock experience, young and enraptured -- and clearly that can't be the case this time around, growing old means that much.
― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:14 (four years ago) link
New Order sound great as a band, and they do different versions of their songs now, which is fun to hear, but holy shit, Bernard Sumner is somehow even worse of a live singer now than he was back in the day, and he was really shit back in the day too. Anyway, should be fun, but just don't go because you love Bernard's voice.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:20 (four years ago) link
I go for the lyrics.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:21 (four years ago) link
Anyone who goes to see New Order live because they love Bernard Sumner's voice is insane
― totally unnecessary bewbz of exploitation (DJP), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 18:56 (four years ago) link
I earned the highest GPA of any senior from the Bernard Sumner School of Advanced Lyric Writing and Singing, and I would never check out NO to revel in his pipes.

I feel good and i feel bad, but common sense i've never had.
― brotherlovesdub, Tuesday, 25 February 2020 19:03 (four years ago) link
One reason I haven't seen New Order live is because I've seen concert footage and my general reaction has been "why do they let him sing"
― totally unnecessary bewbz of exploitation (DJP), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 19:03 (four years ago) link
Why don''t they let Gillian take a turn on vocals for the next album? It can't be worse. They should have Bernard on 4 songs, Gillian on 2, and then finish the album with 2-3 instrumentals.

Hook’s NO book suggests that he ground his teeth in irritation through most of their shows, at Barney’s whoops and laziness
― Fantastic. Great move. Well done (sic), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 19:07 (four years ago) link
I got the impression from Hook's memoir that everyone in the band was lazy except Peter Hook.
― TikTok to the (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 25 February 2020 19:12 (four years ago) link
Well Peter Hook can eat a bag of dicks too, with his COME ON'S yelled during LWTUA and the rest of anything he utters on the microphone. Keep that man 50 yards from the nearest live mic, imo.

So the solution is to bring along Dave Gahan?
