I put off writing the review of this album, as I was writing approximately 5906 movie reviews and didn't have time. I might have waited a bit too long, as the specifics of this one are kind of fading from my memory. Still, I really enjoyed it so I will do my best.
I was a bit wary of this one, as the band name is a bit...odd. Apparently, the band is named after the groups of Jewish women kept in concentration camps for the sexual pleasure of the Nazis. So is this just a deliberate attempt to be perverse? I am not sure I get it and even more unsure if I want to.
But, like I said, I enjoyed this album. It's certainly a depressing album, but it is not upsetting to listen to; in fact, some of the songs were downright catchy. My favorite was "She Lost Control" but really, there is no bad track in this album.
Almost to the eighties!
RATING: 4/5
Joy division were about the final grasp of me trying to keep abreast of 'current' groups and Albums. I had this one .. (I even had the Tshirt).. I thought they were pretty good. Are you familiar with (What I thought was one of the best singles ever) 'Love will tear us apart'?
ReplyDeleteI am! I like the song, though the music video always fills me with dread for some reason.
DeleteYour comment made me think .. I hadn't ever seen the video .. (OK, I know .. different generation, OK?)... So, with the miracle of an internet search ..
ReplyDeleteNot sure when it fills you with such dread .. a fairly standard Music video of it's age .. If you wish to talk about your reason, I would be interested .. (Not here .. I don't usually come onto this music blog that much ..)
Just the doors opening slowly and knowing about Ian Curtis's death. I don't know...it just made me uneasy.
