Reviews
5 Stars - Indispensible - "...UNKNOWN PLEASURES is so fully realized, it doesn't sound like the debut from four Manchester oiks Joy Division....Exhausting listening, but never inaccessible...", Ranked #4 in NME's list of The Greatest Albums Of The '70s - "...Ian Curtis made epilepsy momentarily hip with the funereal brooding of 'Atmosphere' and panicky congestion of 'She's Lost Control.' Let's party!...", Ranked #10 in the Nme "Top 30 Heartbreak Albums"., Ranked #19 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums", Ranked #43 in Nme's List of the 'greatest Albums of All Time.', "Joy Division - like the Velvet Underground before it - now boasts an ever-widening sphere of musical influence, far greater in depth than it ever had in its short lifespan.", 10 - Classic - "...Thirteen years on and UNKNOWN PLEASURES is still not so much a record as a full-scale nuclear winter....", Ranked #24 in Rolling Stone's "50 Coolest Records" - "...Punk on the edge of goth, with echoes of disco and the Doors...", Included in Spin's List of the Top Ten College Cult Classics., 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Intense, somber....The album inverts punk's unified roar into distant alienation...", Ranked #11 in Spin's "50 Most Essential Punk Records" - "...A rolling murk of wrist-slash guitars, meat-locker ambience, death-disco beats, and funereal siren-songing. Goth starts here.", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Simply ferocious....'Shadowplay' ramps up the guitars to Hannett-defying levels and 'Transmission' could have an eye out.", "...Retained the Nervy, Paranoid Energy of Punk But...Ended Up Some Place Entirely 'other'...", Ranked #26 in Mojo's "Top 50 Punk Albums"., "Unknown Pleasures Derives Much of Its Musical Force from a Classical Configuration of Tensions..."
