...step inside.

Closer is one of the best albums ever, Unknown Pleasures is one of the best debut's ever, Substance is one of the best compilations ever and Les Bains Douches is one of the best live albums ever.

Oh, and Ian Curtis was probably the best (rock-)lyricist ever, RIP

Atmosphere, one of the best songs ever written.

New Order is a far cry of Joy Division. It's a joy divided.

Actually New Order's debut album (Movement) is a lot more like Joy Division than eh... New Order, and is definitely an underrated album. Doubts Even Here for example would fit almost perfectly on Closer (That's Peter Hook on vocals on that track btw...

)

Can I ask what the New Order comments are based on? Are these being made by people who have heard Blue Monday (a generation defining moment and an astonishing advancement in technology that Kraftwerk themselves expressed envy at and actually asked how they made the opening kick drum) and True Faith (a perfect slice of pop that crosses genres and brings together synth pop and indie for the first time ever) or are they made by people that actually have some knowledge of the band?

I've only heard Closer. It's good, but it's really, really depressing, to the point where I can't listen to it the whole way through.

Closer is very much a mood piece, its kind of like the Final Cut but ambitious, not that I dont like the Final Cut of course, its one of my fave Floyd albums but I think you know what I mean.

I've heard every New Order album except Brotherhood & Get Ready...
