Closer

This Joy Division album is what first introduced me to the bands music many years ago. This particular vinyl edition of the album is completely identical to the album when it was first released, and this includes the artwork, LP sleeve, as well as the texture of the jacket and sleeve. Nothing has changed and I appreciate that. Each song on this album is a gem. I cannot find any fault with any song Joy Division has recorded. Another great album I recommend is titled Unknown Pleasures, and a vinyl copy is being shipped my way as I write this review. Both of the aforementioned albums are great to start with, or if you are already fond of Joy Division’s music, you need them in your collection if you do not already!!!

Great pressing of a classic album! Arrived quickly and in great condition. The sides aren't easily identifiable, but really, that's my only complaint.

Amazon sent, get this, Vance Joy instead of Joy Division. I got a good laugh from that. Sent it back and they refunded my money. I went ahead got the anniversary edition instead.

A beautiful album that captures the feeling of being isolated and in despair perfectly. Wish I had discovered Closer earlier in my life but it's here to stay now.

Increíble

The same applies to all three: unknown pleasures, closer, and substance. Remasters from 2007The badMaster is slightly too bright so vocals and drums tend sound edgy. If you reduce the frequencies with an EQ you will be good to go.The goodThe audio sounds as it was taken from a good source, big open sound and lots of definition.

Great album written by a great writer and performed by a great band.

For anyone wondering, this is the Rhino reissue. They do a nice job here on this classic Joy Division album. 180 grams of essential post punk.
