Good reaction, but this is nowhere near the best track on the album, as great a song as it is. Shadowplay, Day of the Lords, She's Lost Control, New Dawn Fades all incredible tracks. Second and final album Closer is also incredible, plus singles they released that weren't on either album. Transmission is a brilliant single and Atmosphere might be their greatest song ever. It still sends shivers up my spine well over 40 years later. Tragically the singer, Ian Curtis took his own life in 1980 on the eve of their first American tour. The remaining members eventually regrouped to form New Order, another band well worth checking out.

Joy Division New Dawn Fades….give it a go!

This is a phenomenal album. Ian Curtis was a master at lyricism

Back this up with The Triffids "Wide open road" and all your pain will bleed away ...

You're absolutely spot on, Bernard's guitar lifts this song to a higher level. Everyone always refers to Peter's bass sound, which is absolutely fabulous and groundbreaking but Bernard (with the genius of Martin Hannett) raises this song to a height where it will remain forever.

1960s,1970s,1980s the golden age of pop/rock music.

1980 summer

Sneaking listens to john peel under the bed clothes when i was about 8-9 years old and hearing joy division ,,, been a fan since the late 70's and listen to them nearly every week still

Great reaction, yeah New Dawn Fades is a great track, for part 2 Shadowplay and She's Lost Control are great. It was the bass guitar on New Dawn Fades but Peter Hook plays the bass very much like a lead guitar and it became a big part of the Joy Division/New Order sound, along with Stephen Morris's super fast very rhythmic drums

Glad that you're checking out the whole album. Yeah, the entire album has a sense of dread and foreboding about it. The same is true with the second and final album "Closer" (1980). I think the gloomy tone comes from Ian Curtis' struggle with life spilling over into the art. I love this entire album, but New Dawn Fades is definitely a highlight for me. By the way, if you're interested, there was a really good film called "Control" from 2007 that was about Ian Curtis and Joy Division. It's been years since I've seen the film, but it was really good and the actor that plays Ian Curtis did an pretty impressive job and actually sounded a lot like Curtis when singing. The film is a great insight into the band, and is useful in adding context to the music. By the way, I enjoyed the reaction. Liked and subscribed. I'm especially looking forward to your dive into Radiohead and Joy Division. Another 1980s post-punk band that you should consider checking out is The Chameleons. They don't have that gloomy vibe like Joy Division, but they're pretty fantastic and criminally underrated in my opinion.

Fun fact about this album. They made it as a Punk album to start of with but then invited a producer who was on all kinds of drugs to add all of these funky sounds. Some of the band disliked it while others loved it. In a way they accidentally made 1 of the best post-punk albums to date. Also on the topic of dread while this album has hints their second album is complete dread following the tragedy of what happened to the lead singer, it's really depressing but a work of art.

There are no reactions to This Mortal Coil, maybe ....

This is my former husband and my “song”! And yes, I said former but he’s still my best friend. We just didn’t bring out the best in each other. And we didn’t want the same things after being together for decades. The 80’s are a time we look back to with such fondness - not just him and I, but everyone who was lucky enough to live in that era. 🖤 RIP IC

A new subscriber here for Joy Division, I love your honest reaction to my favourite band. They were so influential onso many bands considering they were not very commercially successful. They were not around for long because of the death of the lead singer Ian Curtis, Bernard Sumner on guitar, the legendary Peter Hook on Bass with the metronomic powerhouse Stephen Morris on drums. I hope you do the whole album but is not at least listen to New Dawn Fades another classic from the band. And maybe sog into their history and how they went on to become New Order. One of rocks great tragedies. Some.classics not on the album, Transmission, Isolation, Heart and Soul and Atmosphere.

Listen first, then react. Shut the fuck up during the song, or stop it for a couple of seconds if there's something you really have to say, but for Christ sake don't talk all the way through it.

Fuck all like Radiohead young man, although there's no way you could have known that. Keep listening & doing what you're doing. Cheers.

After the lead singer died they became New Order.

It really makes me smile to watch someone discover JD so many years after I first played it. For the record, the album came out on Friday, June 15th, 1979. I eagerly bought it and played it as a 15 year old on Saturday, June 16th, 1979 😉 It really was a game changer in the course of Post-Punk music, although the same has to be said of "Public Image" by Public Image Limited. If you haven't heard it before, you need to do so immediately, if not sooner. If you liked the bass on Disorder, you'll love the bass on "Public Image" from the very first bar 😍

You mean "Street Spirit (Fade out)" and not "Just" and that's the fadeout to the album. Try "Just" again, you won't get more speedy and heavy guitars with Radiohead!

No special recommendation, because there are only 2.5 albums from Joy Division and I dig everything. But I'll be happy, if you go on with them. Maybe try Bauhaus too ("I dare you").

Novelty is my favourite Joy Division track....RIP IAN CURTIS

Ian Curtis was gifted, but was haunted by demons and drugs, never got the support he needed.A great songwriter, akin to many we have lost too young.

The beauty of Hookie's bass sound & style, was almost there as a "lead" or being the melody on a lot of JD tracks. I envy the fact he can play a Rickey 4003 with effortless ease too.... If you want a great Joy Division track that often gets overlooked, then check this out..... ruclips.net/video/J4RHLFSfD2A/видео.htmlsi=iw53bSSAfTEm3R5S promise you, if you think Disorder is good, this will send you into another world. The strain in Ian's voice, the emotions are all there and it demonstrates all the complexity in his mind at the time. Nowadays someone might've been aware enough to have a word and keep a close eye on Curtis. Sadly hindsight is such a wonderful idea when it becomes academic anyway 😢😢😢

Another excellent Joy Division tune is No Love Lost.

Peter Hook plays his bass picked like a six string. It really drove and punctuated Joy Division and New Order songs. I recommend watching the movie “Control” for some perspective.

You might like some of the Fall, even the Jam. XTC were a fantastic UK band. Early Banshees and Cure. I'm 61, so was in my teens when so many great music was even in the charts.

Somebody told me it sounds like country music.

More Joy Division please, then maybe go on to New Order. Thanks.

Fair play to ya going out there reaching into the past. Iconic late 70's early 80's post punk JOY DIVISION!

Interesting thought experiment: Around this same time U2 had used Martin Hannett as producer on their early single "11 O'Clock Tick Tock" but found him difficult to work with, so instead ended up going with Steve Lillywhite for their first album. I've always wondered what the respective albums would have sounded like had U2 stuck with Hannett for "Boy" and JD had gone with Lillywhite for "Unknown Pleasures."

Oh yeah and give atmosphere a listen, Ian Curtis was obsessed by kraftwork and the new alien and disconnected sound that he was determined to bring into the sound of the band. The song was ahead of its time, there wasn't any other band that had tried this, so it would be the blueprint of many new bands to come.

As an old school music lover I was lucky enough to grow up in a time when punk had made its mark but it was a very depressing experience that was living in the UK in the 70s and early 80s where the youth were unemployed, uninspired and generally a sense of depression that defined the time. Along came joy division and perfectly reflected the way that many of us would be feeling. It was our own emo movement, and a songwriter that had a gift for telling a story that rarely has been equalled with dark complex and impactful meanings that sometimes contradicted the post punk experience. Genuine love to see a young person experience the sound that is instrumental in the evolution of the music that was to come, with a vulnerability that has been lost by the music scene today. The music was made for the love of music and the chance to be heard, and to give us something to belong to, a whole new generation of music that broke many of the rules that punk was supposed to have done.. This was a time for the feeling of excitement and discovery and the beginning of the era of the Manchester movement that dominated the music scene and inspired original and exciting new genres and bands such as new order using the electronic evolution that was started by joy division... A guitar driven sound that was added the elements of kraftwork and making the impossible idea that was to be legendary... You go to raves and still get to hear the DJ drop in blue Monday and blow everyone's mind on a favourite blast of nostalgia, and it worked, it still sounds like something that was realised today on an indie label. As you can see it really grips you tightly with emotion that you can't help but relive those years of teenage discovery. So much that I am aware that I have been dribbling on way too long, but like we were back, I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks because I don't give a fuck about anything else until this band arrived

You will definitely like this song and most Radiohead the more you listen to it. I think part of that is due to the awesome arrangements by Jonny and Nigel (Godrich, their producer, often referred to as their 6th member) and Thom. You'll notice little things that just sound so perfect. In this one for instance, I think it's the couple bars leading into the final verse when all three guitarists are overlaying picked patterns that just sounds incredible, then Thom lays into the third verse with a slightly different melody and ratchets up the intensity. Yeah, this one will grow on you. But so will Weird Fishes. Talk about amazing arranging. Peace from SF

It's been used in tv adverts .

Thanks for the recommendation. Jumping from Joy Division to Alison's Halo immediately made me think you might enjoy the band This Mortal Coil (esp "Song to the Siren"). There was a unique pocket of alternative music from the label 4AD starting in the early 80s that many post-punk/new wave/alternative fans enjoyed. Music from Dead Can Dance is also worth trying out if you're ever in the mood for something kinda ethereal, definitely not something oncthe radio.

They formed as a post punk band in 1976. Joy Division turned into New Order after their lead singer, Ian Curtis committed suicide in 1980.

You lazy bint. good song tho

I was a very geeky 9 years old when this came out and recall sitting cross-legged on the bedroom floor in front of my hand-me-down BSR record deck, enthralled by its hypnotic, brittle repetitive rhythms, all sharp elbows, involuntary spastic jerks and sleek industrial machinery in music form. It's good to see your generation pay their due, I often think yours and mine have a lot in common.

if you like this awesome type of music, especially the end of the song I highly recommend you check out the artist Yppah; both Eighty One and Tiny Pause are really great albums!! He very often rides out the bridge or 'switchup of the song' to an epic shoe-gaze rockin ending. great upload dude!

... clue into joy division... well worth your time

Very good

If you want to delve into some classic post-punk British music from that era, you could do worse than to check out the album "Entertainment" by Gang of Four. A good place to start would be the song "Damaged Goods", as the song was the lead track on their debut EP, but the album version has crisper production and a more visceral feel to it.

te amo peroxide

One of my top three bands to put out the fewest albums.

You might enjoy the Joy Division movie; Control. This is not my favorite track though.

Try Shadowplay and Transmission next.

You were 15, your elder brothers were kinda progressive rock posthippies and you listened to this stuff. It was so refreshing.

This one was kinda mediocre. If you wanna hear the best stuff from them, here is a list of their absolute best: -Atmosphere -New dawn fades -Ice age -Wilderness -Day of the lords -24 hours -Walk in line I probably left out two or three more, that should be on this list, because I can't remember them at this moment, but you have enough to go trough for now 🙂

Again soooou amazing
