Music Banter - View Single Post - MB Essential Guide Poll: ***Joy Division***

Brad Stengel · 10-03-2008, 12:55 PM

1) FIVE TRACKS:

1. Disorder (Unknown Pleasures)
2. Love Will Tear Us Apart (Substance)
3. Digital (Substance)
4. Shadowplay (Unknown Pleasures)
5. Atrocity Exhibition (Closer)

2) ONE ALBUM:
Unknown Pleasures

3) TWO ARTISTS
Wire (Chairs Missing era)
New Order

4) When I had first heard of Joy Division, I was a senior in high school, just starting to get into idie rock, and owned few if any punk/post-punk record. I had heard about Joy Division for awhile, so I picked up "Closer". I fucking hated it. I thought it was silly. I gave it to a friend, and moved on.

About 6 months later I heard "Warsaw" (A punkier tune) on a punk compilation, and after getting into Wire, gave "Unknown Pleasures" a chance. it took a bit to grow on me, but I DEFINATELY recieved it better than Closer. I now own that, Closer, and Substance, and enjoy all of them. The message here is, they can be really tough to get into, they have a very wierd sound. But give them a chance, they're well worth it.
