CD Reviews

Pleasurable Discovery
K R | Western Mass. | 05/22/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I feel embarassed to admit I had never heard this album until this week. I saw a movie last week which featured one of the songs in it. (The movie was called "Reprise" (amazing film!) and the song was "New Dawn Fades.") Then I got the album the other day, put it on and was BLOWN away. The fact that more radio stations don't play the song "Disorder" even now is criminal. It's truly a classic song and the CD just takes off from there. Sure, it has dark themes and can be depressing at times. And I'll admit I've been a big fan of so-called goth music for decades, which is why I honestly feel embarassed to admit that I've never heard this album before. I've had "Closer" for years, but somehow missed this dark, beautiful, haunting gem. What a find!"
Prefer Over Closer

"Love ALL that is Joy Division & I've gotten pretty much everything I can get that's available. As a whole, I prefer the first CD, UnkPleasures, to the last but not to say Closer isn't fantastic also. So unfortunate the band did not continue with it's original sound. However, the fact the original band members overcame tragedy, and continued playing together, is surely a testament to their musical talent and personal stamina. I'm checking out New Order now - don't know yet what the verdict will be - haven't received the music yet."
One of best rock albums ever recorded
Counterbalance | Seattle | 01/10/2009
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I know that's an extreme statement. But time distills truth.



And the truth is, this album distilled rock into a minimalist art form. Add the shockingly simple but profound lyrics, and this album anniliates pretentious rock. This album can't go out of style, because it was never in style.



Dark and foreboding, Unknown Pleasures uncovers too much reality to ever cross over into pop. It's not for the trendies. And that's what makes it monumental. And one of the best rock albums ever recorded."
