Sonic exploration = pretentious. ... http://joydivisionsuck.info/joy-division-fan-from-yesterday-comes-back-asking-for-further-clarification-on-why-hes-wrong.html I'm tired of receiving abuse from Joy Division fans who instantly assume that I must listen to shit like the X-Factor or any other brand of banal pop music just because I don't like Joy Division. Joy Division fans just listen to the band to appear different. These people typically have ... http://joydivisionsuck.info/if-you-are-a-joy-division-fan-then-that-means-i-instantly-have-a-better-taste-in-music-than-you.html Spoiler : Curtis hangs himself at the end in his kitchen after consuming too much cheap whiskey. These were before the days of MSN were one could go onto a forum and threaten suicide whilst in the midst of a drunken huff and wake up fine the next morning. 'Closer' is ... http://joydivisionsuck.info/joy-division-control-film-review.html Joy Division were a perfect example of how virtuosity will never beat ideas, that literacy can enter the pantheon of popular music without being insulting to ones intelligence, that it is possible to do sonic explorations within the framework of focused pop music. Virtuosity? Why should virtuosity matter a jot in ... http://joydivisionsuck.info/joy-division-argues-that-the-band-were-great-because-of-their-artful-lyrics-sonic-explorations-and-other-wank.html Well, the fact that the band has managed to irritate you enough to set up a website so negative, full of bile, and desperation to shock says volumes. Don't you think this site is a complete waste of your time? At the very least, Joy Division were creative and not, ... http://joydivisionsuck.info/joy-division-fan-accuses-this-website-of-being-negative-and-insulting-towards-ian-curtiss-family.html The only thing noteworthy about From Safety To Where is that the Manic Street Preachers stole the title of it for their 1993 single 'From Despair To Where'.

The song is littered with confounding ... http://joydivisionsuck.info/from-safety-to-where-song-review.html Bernard/Barney Sumner/Albrecht/Dicken/Rubble/ was Joy Division's song-writer and guitarist. He specialized in plagiarizing guitar lines off Black Sabbath b-sides and dressing like a lost schoolboy on stage. Throughout Joy Division's existence he was subject to a media gagging order by Ian Curtis who felt that if the guitarist mouthed off about his ... http://joydivisionsuck.info/barney-sumner-joy-division-guitarist.html Digital is as uplifting as it gets for Joy Division. By uplifting I mean the bassline is 'fun'. It's something I can imagine Barbara Windsor dancing to pissed with her baps out at the last night of the fair in Blackpool 1978. The song in its entirety consists of Ian Curtis ... http://joydivisionsuck.info/joy-division-digital-song-review.html Shadowplay is by my admittance an O.K song but nothing more.
