The second and final studio album by Joy Division, Closer marks a more dramatic event since being released. Just two months prior, Ian Curtis, the lead singer, committed suicide. Seeing as I just played another Joy Division record just a few days ago, it's obvious that I cannot get enough. It's something about Ian Curtis' voice that I like or maybe it's the sound of each song that puts me in a certain mood. I can tell you this though, this album has a bit of a darker tone that the previous. Some might say it was purposefully done that way because they knew what was to come. In a sense that I could kind of believe that, I would still think that making music or putting something into perspective could change ones decision about life and death, but then again you have the ones so far in they can't find a way out.
