Joy DivisionCloser

Cold, cavernous, and unbearably beautiful, the sound of a band staring into the void. 'Isolation' pulses on icy synths and frantic drums, 'Twenty Four Hours' lurches between hush and panic, and 'Decades' closes in funereal slow motion. Ian Curtis's baritone haunts every corner. Released weeks after his death, it remains one of rock's most devastating documents.
