Listening to Unknown Pleasures right now, and while musically they have moments that are alright, for the most part this is just passing me by in a boring haze. And I kind of hate Ian Curtis.

Yeah that's me to a T. I need to listen to more of the Fall to have an actual opinion on them though. I only really remember a bit of Hex Enduction Hour and thinking that Mark E. Smith sounded like a ranting madman who may or may not have realized that he was on a song. That's a compliment btw.
