Still is one of those records which is like a pack of cigarettes - you'll only ever try it for the first time in your teens, and you won't like it much at first, but there's something about it which will make you persevere.
While it is an odd patchwork of out-takes, b-sides and live material, Still gives a better view of what Joy Division were than either of their studio albums (though their singles, notably, which never appeared on albums, were generally far better recorded and available on CD).
The album consists of tracks left over there were never released on any of their albums at the time (until heart and soul was released).

 Joy Division album less convincing than original
Joy Division had a sound like no other band at the time, and that sound influenced a good part of British music that followed in the 80s, including many successful bands like Echo and the Bunnymen, the Cure, and Siouxsie and the Banshees.
But Joy Division's immediacy seems to be the precise crucial element that too many of the cover bands lack, and in its place is an undeveloped sound that often seems incongruous manipulating Joy Division's music.
It is heartening to see young bands still paying tribute to such an important musical influence as Joy Division, and maybe even particularly relevant in the context of the past few years, which have seen a slight rebirth of punk with the sudden appearance and tragic exit of Nirvana.
