Music reviews of Closer
Music Review: One of the greatest albums of all time
Rating: 5 Stars
One of the greatest albums of all time, hands-down. Joy Divisions'
"Closer" ranked 157 in Rolling Stones Magazine top 500 albums of all time, in quote "One of the most de-pressing albums ever made, with droning guitars and synthesizers, chilly bass lines, stentorian vocals and drums that sound as if they're steadily beating out the rhythm of doom. And thats not even considering the lyrics". The lyrics where writen by Ian Curtis, the bands lone writer, a few months before he commited suicide on May 18, 1980. The lyrics are beyond dark, they are extremely intimate and haunting. Closer is a must have for any Joy Division fan, or your collection is not even close to being complete. Now that we have gotten Closer out of the way, this collectors edition comes with two discs. The first being Closer and the second being live material. Live at the University of London Union, Feb 8, 1980. The twelve tracks consist of a mix of songs from "Closer" and singles; namely Dead Souls, Love Will Tear Us Apart, Digital, and Glass. Joy Division where legendary live, blowing away every crowd, blessed enough to see them in-person, they encountered. A must have. "We knocked on the doors of Hell's darker chamber, Pushed to the limit, we dragged ourselves in". Ian Curtis, Decades.
