New Order - State Of The Nation (Factory)

A double A-side, presumably to appease those who'd given up on New Order releasing another record. 'State' and 'Shame' are actually different versions of the same song with 'Shame' by far the more dramatic of the two. Guitars growl, pianos shriek and all the while a muted synthesised dance beat rumbles on. Not the most dynamic thing they've ever done but at least it doesn't sound like Jam & Lewis. (Paul Simper, No 1, September 20, 1986)
