We POLL Easy: New Order "Get Ready" Poll

their worst this century. but hey they don't have a bad album!

I love Get Ready but if push came to shove, I'd prob rank it last of their three post-reunion albums (not counting Lost Sirens obv)

My position exactly. Music Complete's excellence caused me to rethink its two predecessors.

i love "nothing but a fool" more than anything on get ready i think

"Academic" does the let's-hold-a-guitar-groove-for-32-minutes NO thing so well.

60 Miles An Hour and Rock The Shack stop this being truly great, but I still like it a good amount. A step down from Republic but a step up from Sirens.

I'd recommend searching out the pre-mix / pre-release version of the album that includes some b-sides, and a better version of Crystal. There are a handful of incredible songs on Get Ready, but my all time favs from Get Ready are Primitive Notion and Vicious Streak.

sounds great, but i am not going to find that in poundland though am i ?
oh, and as for the comment re the cover art upthread : huh !!?
i love the cover.
in fact i don't think that NO have ever had a bad album cover.
and that includes the myriad of compilations.

one thing that did surprise me is the breakdown re the credits.
there is a lot of studio personel involved as opposed to just one crew.
surprising given that after the few listens, i think that the album has a very consistent sound.

Love the cover. Love Vicious Streak.
Where can I find these rough mixes?

Thanks for the link but I think the files expired :(

Found it on slsk last night -- looks like both the original leak and Power of Independent Trucking's mastered version are out there, as well as a companion disc of demos/early mixes.
