It was not as it seemed ....

.... And yet has earned its place in the top 50 of the most important albums of all time this album. Anyone who has read the book by Ian Curtis' widow, will have been somewhat disillusioned given the szenarischen descriptions. Joy Division had, in fact most fun when they went into Stduio and were then just as proud as any school band when they could play for people the demos. A band as any other so. However, "Closer" is different from all other millions of music products through the unique production, which is built in large part on Martin Hannett's crap. Who has "Closer" introduced time through headphones, will know what I mean. It's the sound details, the little things on the edge, which make this record so unique. In addition, Curtis' lyrics, which certainly everyone can interpret for themselves, their key messages, however, as the diary of a young manic-depressive people are reading that does not find its way. All sad and ultimately tragic. Things seem to "Closer" together. It's that simple. It works, this band has worked. Anyway, for whatever reason. "Closer" is the soundtrack of a decade, prevailed in the disorientation, hopelessness and depression. Behind the facade, however, made life fun, either way. And of all this is "Closer," which will not understand the today 18-year-old. "This is the crisis I knew had to come ..." Sigh .....
