I think we have one on this. I've liked it the couple times I've heard it though.

No we don't Mr. Ziff. There was a brief discussion regarding the song in the "Breaking" thread... thats all.

First time I heard I wasn't that pleased with it, considering New Order was one of my favorite bands "back in tha day". However, I must have been in a pissy mood because this really is a great cover and worthy of release. I actually have no qualms saying this should make top 5.

I still think the chorus feels all wrong. Too much emotion, like the singer still doesn't really believe what he's singing. But it's serviceable. Don't know how I feel about it as a radio single.

I have never heard of that being an issue...nor do I consider it one with this piece.

I have never heard of that being an issue. Now you have. I think the piece calls for resignation, coldness, numbness, hollowness, or any other variation on that theme.

I suppose that's one way of putting it. I'm not saying New Order can't be reinterpreted. I think Frente!'s version of "Bizarre Love Triangle" is awesome, and that's radically different from the original musically and in its delivery. Orgy's "Blue Monday" is cool too. Those two, I listened to the deliveries and I believed them; in this particular case, I don't.

Those two, I listened to the deliveries and I believed them; in this particular case, I don't. I agree with you. I loved Frente's Bizarre Love Triangle. I liked Orgy's Blue Monday. This sounded ok, kinda like a watered down version of New Order's until the chorus. Then the chorus being sung in both octaves with the higher octave being more prominent just annoys me. I think it just reminds me of the chorus to Don't Trust Me too much... like they're about to say "don't trust a ho". And that song is probably my least favorite song of the past few years.

This song would be epic if it sounded like Don't Trust Me, but it is still really good.

Just bought this, such a sweet song. Anberlin really has become a great band, something I never would have guessed when I was friends with two Anberlin-obsessed people back in 2005.

I heard they're re-releasing "New Surrender" next month so I'm wondering now if this song will on it.

That said, I've been waiting for true faith to be the single for a while. I love this cover!

Kinda pissed the label went with this forward and didn't release "The Resistance" or "Disappear".
It's a great cover anyway. Hopefully it will go top 40 on Alternative.
