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.

Behind it All

A lot of things erie about this record but alas I will play and enjoy the sound.  Here's my ninety-sixth pick.

Artist - Joy Division
Album - Unknown Pleasures
Released - 1979
Label - Factory
Genre - Post-Punk


Tracks:
Outside
Disorder
Days of the Lords
Candidate
Insight
New Dawn Fades
Inside
She's Lost Control
Shadowplay
Wilderness
Interzone
I Remember Nothing

The debut album by Joy Division, Unknown Pleasures is one of those records you don't get tired of listening to.  It almost takes you to another place, mentally. The cover depicts 100 consecutive pulses from the pulsar CO 1919, just in case you wanted to know.  The raw sound of this album intensifies with each track and It's kind of hard to describe such an amazing record in so many words.  She's Lost Control and Disorder are definitely my top songs on this record, but in the end, each song on this record is amazing.  Give it a listen.  I don't know what else I can write other than you will not be sorry.

Enjoy!
