Unknown Pleasures

Hard pass. I feel like this is 1) the music playing in every Hot Topic and/or 2) the music Tim played in high school.

No thank you.

Did not like this album - did not make it past song 3

Too empty for me. And can't stand the voice.

Sorry…really did not like.

Okay, this album did nothing for me and I grew up in that era.

altern. Rock, 1979

Sounded like the smiths but worse. 1/10

Never heard of them before. First impression very positive. Got stale real fast

Just not for me. Preferred New Order to the Ian Curtis drudgery.

Badly named band. There's no Joy here! Boring songs, pretty bad singing. Not for me.

Couldn't get into it. 1/5

Uhmmm also not my cup of tea. Kinda liked the sound in the album, but not the lyrics really.

i'm sorry aeri!!!!!! i can't help the inner claire in me!!!! i hate this man's voice! 😭

Really basic

These guys make The Cure sound like Katy Perry. What a snoozefest.

wasn't for me -- not really my style

Really not the kind of music I like, largely didn't stick with me like some of the other albums on this list, and actively made listening a bit of a chore, not any notable songs over the others they all kind of blended the same in my opinion; probably great to those that like the genre but definitely not for me

I respect Joy Division for being a stepping stone to what great music we have today.. With that being said, this music is horrible…

very bad! oh my ears

How much did I dislike this album? It was so much more than lead singers voice. But why go on?

Didn't do anything for me. It was ok, but still didn't enjoy it.

The late 70s UK music scene must've been so depressing if you had the slightest touch of taste, all these post-punk bands are just pure dogshit.

Very strange album, not really to my taste. I don't really get it

I really wanted to be into this but I think ultimately not for me

The tracks are as bland as the singers voice and delivery.

Not for me.

I wanna rate it 0. Fuck this piece of crap of a band.

El post punk no es lo mío.

Just kinda funky and weird

Poor Ian Curtis... 23 years old!

The "unknown pleasure" was not listening to this album. What the vocalist lacks in skill he does not make up for in passion. I'd say he needs a bucket to carry the tune but buckets aren't good at carrying keys. Instrumentals are fine but I can hear the same, similar, or (usually) better sound from any garage band or subway station one man band busker

The best thing happened to this band was eventually becoming New Order

Shit

Joy division- They have a thing with the minimal guitar and bass parts. They kind of compliment eachother well but also rub with tension too. I could hear their influence on frusciante and flea. I really didn’t like the vocals. The melodys are not good, the tone is bad, and he’s out of tune a lot too. Disorder- wow those are some bold note choices in the bass, actually my favorite part of the song perfect example of “wrong but strong” Didn’t like the next two songs at all Insight-cool synth toms Shadow play- vocals sound like David Byrne trying to sing like Jim Morrison in the worst way Wilderness- cool bassline and intro. I like the reverb and delay on the drums I remember nothing- I like the ominous vibe and textures of the instrumental and sound effects but the vocals are soooo out of tune. 1.5

Candidate and I remember nothing are possibly the worst vocal performances in recorded history. Day of the lords reminds me of Alvin’s sludgefest. I hated this record. 1.1

Joy divided by zero. Horrendous, I think there's one track on there that I could classify as a song.

I guess it's really just not my jam. Non of the songs really jumped out at me and the whole album kinda just felt like a boring drone

Where's the Joy? This album was pretty depressing.

Jesus christ this was bad. One of those bands you assume have bare good tunes but this was 10 songs of absolute dreary dog poo. Potentially the crappest album so far no 🧢

Boring, droning, morose dross. I could scrap to 2 stars if it wasn’t so iconic. Knocked down to 1 start by the Primark T-shirts.

Why is this on here, this was such a boring album, the sounds were drab, the pace of the music left me wanting more. Boo do better.

All the songs sound the same🤷‍♀️

Niet mijn ding.

I can't quite gather my thoughts enough after listening to this to properly articulate my dislike it's like my melon got dropped on a sidewalk... just unpleasant.

I tried to put aside my highly personal distaste for Joy Division, but my review is still incredibly biased. It was boring as hell. “She’d Lost Control” wasn’t the worst.

Not my style

1,5. Monotonisempaa soundia saa hakea. Taattua masennusta alusta loppuun.

Not my thing I’m afraid

Trash can music

Dull

Too gay, gayer than culture club.

Really bad. Disorder was the best song on the album and it was at best a 4/10.

Blehhhh

I didn’t like this at all. Vocals were uninspired and for an era of classic rock their sound was woefully lacking.

did not like

Meh
