Joy Division

Daycare Nation · 09.04.2006, 06:00 PM

nothing like "unknown pleasures"....classic...i love the spaciousness of the sound, does anyone know what I mean?

LittlePuppetBoy · 09.04.2006, 06:42 PM

hell yes! I love that album!

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 09.04.2006, 06:52 PM

I know exactly what you mean. The whole album just has this great atmosphere about it. Beautifully stark.

Style · 09.04.2006, 07:40 PM

Great Album. It's a classic just as much Closer is.

ricechex · 09.04.2006, 07:41 PM

Also worth noting that Martin Hannett recorded that as he did all or most of their records. He also did the Psychedelic Furs earlier work and deserves some credit.

Unknown pleasure is superb, however I still prefer Closer because of the great tragic atmosphere it posesses

and also Permanent....the song Digital is just splendid.

any of you seen 24 hour party people? go check it out, there's much about Joy Division, Happy Mondays etc stuff

LNC · 09.05.2006, 07:09 AM

as much as i love closer and unknown pleasure, somehow i always end up listening substance and reciving multiple orgasams from it. Substance is like their 3rd album, complete masterpiece with bunch of non-album songs which are joy division must-have. and 24 hour party people is fuckin excellent!

yeah, Substance kicks ass.

porkmarras · 09.05.2006, 07:58 AM

Yeah the 'spaciousness' you are talking about i understand whereas 'Closer' has more of an incubated,almost claustrophobic sound.

fishmonkey · 09.05.2006, 08:24 AM

love love fuckin love
Curtis is a legend. i fuckin love Joy Division.
Saw 24hr Party people also _slavo_ love the Joy Division bits they are right good, the worst thing about that flick is the whole Happy Mondays bits, if its an actor playing Shaun Ryder or actually Shaun Ryder himself its all the same, they are a complete waste of space.
love Ian Curtis though, the book about his life "touching from a distance" is well worth a read.

exactly

Everyneurotic · 09.05.2006, 02:04 PM

i like that band a lot but when every untalented fashion victim decides they can cover their songs and just change it enough so it gets so beaten it resembles horse's puke, then i don't feel like listening to them.

plus, they are massively overrated right now, they are these last couple of year's nirvana.

cryptowonderdruginvogue · 09.05.2006, 03:23 PM

i wonder if ian curtis liked Rather Ruipped

Yes! Closer is one of my favorite albums ever!

umjammer atomsk · 09.19.2006, 10:37 PM

Closer is great. It's also the only JD album I have.

hey alex · 09.19.2006, 10:58 PM

i love closer but haven't really listened to pleasures. Closer is great, but i think substance has their best songs. The singles that hit the nail on the head in 3 minutes. They're great without having to devote a whole album of listening. Komankino, digital, transmission, and, of course, love will tear us apart.

I love 24 hr party ppl too. I got it from used stuff store by trading some anime that was my kick of middle school, good idea.

HaydenAsche · 09.19.2006, 11:00 PM

Closer > Unknown Pleasures.

Sorry.

IntoTheGroovey · 09.20.2006, 12:11 AM

All of their albums are great (including Substance and parts of Still).

_slavo_ · 09.20.2006, 02:02 AM

Digital is the shit.
Their best song, in my opinion.
