"It was bad enough Pearl Jam ruined a great song . Now Orgy has to come along & butcher New Order. I didn't like this song it sucked the way they destroyed it & if I could have given 0 stars I would have ! It's so sad to when there are people who can actually sing & this terrible band gets signed. Be forewarned this is really bad music. John Tesh & Yanni are even better than this & that's scary."

"I'll be honest. Orgy is one of the worst bands I've ever heard.In case you're not the usual MTV-watching, IQ-below-room-temperature type, I'll spare you the reminding of the originality of this song. I just find it curious that Orgy not only decided to cover the best selling 12" single of ALL TIME, but decided to butcher it note by note. Truly a sad day for music.."
Wow...

"Jay Gordon is the master of the remix and he proved that with the first single of Candy@$$...The Green Velvet Stitches remix, while not the focalpoint of the single, is the best feature. The riff is brutal and the repeating of "loving you is, f'ing you is strange" is (while I've said before the repeating of vulgar lyrics is 'forgivable') brilliant...I can't explain it, it's just brilliant. The club 69 remixes of Blue Monday are better than the Optical vocal remix, but the DJ Dan remix is the best. The original is great, don't get me wrong, but these remixes add so much flare it's undeniable how awsome they are!"
A nice song and its lousy remixes

"First - I LOVE "Blue Monday." I love what they did with the New Order's outdated original. This is one of the best songs to listen to on a joyride in my car on Lake Shore Drive... The video was a nice bonus as well.However, what's up with these lousy remixes? The themes of the remixes seem to have no actual meaning in these remixes, and instead of the dynamic, emotional rollercoaster "Blue Monday" is, what you end up is mindless techno beats that is totally unsatisfactory. Skip this single - go for the full album."
This is awesome!

"At first I was extermely angry to hear Orgy playing a cover of New Order, one of my favorite bands, but after listening to it a few times, I had to admit that Orgy's version is even better than the original! These remixes are all very cool. You'll like this CD if you listen to a lot of drum 'n bass and electronica in general, or if you like hard-hitting bands like KoRn, Coal Chamber, etc. It's hard to put Orgy in any certain category though, because their music is so creative and unique! (If you don't already own Candyass, Orgy's full-length album, you NEED to check it out!)"
