Joy Division - Unknown Pleasures (1979) (2 Viewers)

Do we all like the single? Left off the album because it was the 70's, should it be on there?

I’m happy with it being its own thing. It’s a great song but the album is perfect as is. Same with Closer and Love Will Tear Us Apart and Atmosphere.

actually just looking it up on wiki, it came out like five or six months later, I suppose it's more standalone.
 
what would happen if Joy Division were active today and called Joy Division? Would woke and PC twitter go apeshit?
I believe there were issues with the woke music press over it back in the day as well. Easier to ignore though.

Probably. Especially given the Hitler Youth single art that would be used as a stick to beat them for all eternity.

go back to Spiked mate, your band can't even get a good drum sound.
 
I bet that drum on the cover of the single sounds better
what do you make of the single version?

a bit beefier, a bit more industrial, still not exactly a "rock" sound though.
 
I have UP & closer on CD, but haven't listened to them in a looooong time.
My main memory of them is bleakness, especially closer.
Will give it a listen soon.
 
Looking forward to the lads doing a 180 on this. Definitely a wet Autumn album as turdy as that sounds.

I remember the film with Sam Riley being brilliant and devastating. Incredibly young for life to be over.
