Comments for Joy Division, Closer

nothing better if you're down and want to get downer or if it's background music to a hypnogonic state

I wonder why this Joy Division should be defined as progressive... It's probably more post-punk, or gothic than prog rock isn't it? Richard _______

Uh, pardon me, but who gives a rat's ass if JD is prog or goth or post-punk? Does it matter? Closer is another great, disturbing album from JD. A bit calmer music-wise than earlier ones, but lyrics are just as troubling, troubled and eerie as before.

Who cares what catagory it falls under? Regardless of that it's a excellent lp.

Truly a beautiful album.

A more refined album than Unknown Pleasures, but somehow even more disturbing. A great album, all the way through to Decades, Ian's vision of Joy Division in the future. Clearly he didn't realize what a great band they were, and I consider his death more tragic than Kurt's. Pick this one up.

I thing is the most influent group in terms of brazilian post punk groups in the 80`s

I think Joy Division is the most influent group in terms of brazilian post punk groups in the 80`s. Carlos.

Well...It''s too bad JD is NOT Brazilian...From Manchester, actually...birthplace of more than a few great bands (hail The Smiths)...Closer is my favorite JD album...Pure emotion rarely seen in music...
