Just kinda funky and weird

Poor Ian Curtis... 23 years old!

The "unknown pleasure" was not listening to this album. What the vocalist lacks in skill he does not make up for in passion. I'd say he needs a bucket to carry the tune but buckets aren't good at carrying keys. Instrumentals are fine but I can hear the same, similar, or (usually) better sound from any garage band or subway station one man band busker

The best thing happened to this band was eventually becoming New Order

Joy division- They have a thing with the minimal guitar and bass parts. They kind of compliment eachother well but also rub with tension too. I could hear their influence on frusciante and flea. I really didn’t like the vocals. The melodys are not good, the tone is bad, and he’s out of tune a lot too. Disorder- wow those are some bold note choices in the bass, actually my favorite part of the song perfect example of “wrong but strong” Didn’t like the next two songs at all Insight-cool synth toms Shadow play- vocals sound like David Byrne trying to sing like Jim Morrison in the worst way Wilderness- cool bassline and intro. I like the reverb and delay on the drums I remember nothing- I like the ominous vibe and textures of the instrumental and sound effects but the vocals are soooo out of tune. 1.5

Candidate and I remember nothing are possibly the worst vocal performances in recorded history. Day of the lords reminds me of Alvin’s sludgefest. I hated this record. 1.1

Joy divided by zero. Horrendous, I think there's one track on there that I could classify as a song.

I guess it's really just not my jam. Non of the songs really jumped out at me and the whole album kinda just felt like a boring drone

Where's the Joy? This album was pretty depressing.

Jesus christ this was bad. One of those bands you assume have bare good tunes but this was 10 songs of absolute dreary dog poo. Potentially the crappest album so far no 🧢

Boring, droning, morose dross. I could scrap to 2 stars if it wasn’t so iconic. Knocked down to 1 start by the Primark T-shirts.

Why is this on here, this was such a boring album, the sounds were drab, the pace of the music left me wanting more. Boo do better.

All the songs sound the same🤷‍♀️

Niet mijn ding.

I can't quite gather my thoughts enough after listening to this to properly articulate my dislike it's like my melon got dropped on a sidewalk... just unpleasant.

I tried to put aside my highly personal distaste for Joy Division, but my review is still incredibly biased. It was boring as hell. “She’d Lost Control” wasn’t the worst.

Not my style

1,5. Monotonisempaa soundia saa hakea. Taattua masennusta alusta loppuun.

Not my thing I’m afraid

Trash can music

Too gay, gayer than culture club.

Really bad. Disorder was the best song on the album and it was at best a 4/10.

Blehhhh

I didn’t like this at all. Vocals were uninspired and for an era of classic rock their sound was woefully lacking.

did not like
