	k-punk: Nihil Rebound: Joy Division
		Joy Division, with an ancient wisdom (‘Ian sounded old, as if he had lived a lifetime in his youth’- Deborah Curtis), a wisdom that is pre-mammalian, pre-multicellular life, pre-organic, saw through all those reproducer ruses.

	Joy Division: album reviews and ratings
		In the aftermath of punk, Joy Division invented a glacial new sound which dramatically connected with a country lurching towards an unforgiving era of Thatcherism.
		In contrast to their messages of decay and acceptance (and bemused, bewildered acceptance, not despair, was central to Joy Division's ethos), 'Unknown Pleasures' is fired with the energy and excitement of the band set free in the studio for the first time.

		From the blunt anomie of "Isolation" to the accusatory chorus of the martial-beat "A Means to an End" to the somber piano-based "The Eternal," Curtis' commanding vocals dominate the record.
