Atmosphere is probably one of my favourite songs ever. The mood it sets for me is amazing.

While thats true, it doesn't do any harm to know what the album is all about though.
I was of course only referring to the lyrical content of Closer and I think it'd be a waste to judge it on it's musical content only.

@Rainard...let me know if you want a quality download.

True musically Closer is pretty boring (except Decades, Isolation, and The Eternal) but Heart & Soul, 24 Hrs., and Colony are really dry, Ian's lyrics really carry the songs on the album.

Boring? Boring!
How dare you describe, miserable Mancunian verses and melodies as musically boring!

out of interest, did Curtis actually write any of the music at all? I had always assumed the responsibility for the music rested on the other band members.

From what I know Curtis was responsible for the lyrics only, but they did collaborate.
Curtis would listen to what they had and fit his already written lyrics around it.
I'm sure he'll have contributed partly, but on the whole, no.
Unless someone knows better...

Ian would listen to whatever the band had and write lyrics for it. Musically he did play guitar on some songs.

My favourite songs by this band are Insight off of Unknown Pleasures, and the single Love Will Tear Us Apart, which is an incredible, brilliant song.
