Reviews5 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..."

    Possibly the greatest British debut album ever.

    I received the record on the day of the 40th anniversary of its release. The record sounds better than the CD. Martin Hannets production is haunting, as are Ians lyrics. It's hard to imagine how young these 3 guys from Manchester and one from Salford felt. Clearly the masterpiece has aged well still sounding fresh now. The band were unwittingly trailblazers and have influenced far and wide, but certainly other great Manchester icons like The Smiths, Stone Roses and Oasis. Is this better than all of them? It certainly will always be a favourite of mine.
