 :: Biography

With the possible exception of the Velvet Underground, no
band has had a greater impact on the shape of music in the
post-modern era than the Manchester, UK quartet known as
Joy Division.

It is not simply that Joy Division fashioned an ambient,
heavy-laden and emotionally charged sound since echoed by
scores of other bands. It's not that the group itself has
spawned an offshootNew Order that continues to push the
outside of the alternative envelope. It's not even that
founder and lead singer Ian Curtis, who took his life
fifteen years ago this May, endures as one of rock's most
enigmatic and tragic figures. It is, rather, that the music
of Joy Division was so consistently ahead of its time that
even today it sounds like nothing so much as a glimpse into
the fut More...

    Review about Joy Division

    Komakino | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song Komakino performed by Joy Division

    a very "gang of four" theme to this song...
    love the tune, love joy division, love curtis' writing style and verbal communication that very few song writers- let alone front men manage.
    very significant to myself too.

        ------ About the song Transmission performed by Joy Division

    Ian Curtis should not have left us so soon; some of the lyrics he composed are timeless, and it would have been such an honor to have had his creativity nurtured and shared as he grew if only he'd had the chance.


    A brilliant tune | Reviewer: Larz Gustafsson
        ------ About the song Novelty performed by Joy Division

    Ian Curtis was honest.
    He had x-ray eyes. To a certain extent.
    People keep seeking for new kicks and thrills.
    But deep down within they' re hollow inside, like another excellent Manchester band sang...

    Larz Gustafsson


    Genius | Reviewer: Joe
        ------ About the song Something Must Break performed by Joy Division

    Damn, this song is so inspirational. The lyrics are absolutely God-like, almost mystical.

    "if we were immortal, we were not there
    washed up on the beaches, struggling for air"

    Gah, pure genius!

        ------ About the song She's Lost Control performed by Joy Division

    Joy Division and New Order are the best bands ever. This song is exceptional along with all other Joy Division songs. It was a sad day when Ian Curtis died.


    For a good cover ... | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song She's Lost Control performed by Joy Division

    Girls Against Boys did a really cool cover of She's Lost Control. Find it, listen to it and bust out in a rockin' spaz dance Ian Curtis style to appreciate its full beauty.

    Love tears us apart | Reviewer: JKL
        ------ About the song Love Will Tear Us Apart performed by Joy Division

    If I had to pick my favorite song of all time, this would be it. The words to this song can compare to so many relationships I've dealt in my life.

        ------ About artist/band Joy Division

    Hi there guys,
    Well, lets start shall we? Anyone? Cuptake? Tea? Joy Div??? Um, yes sir. Humph! Well lads this group started off in May 1997 with their debut album 'Closer' which 'weilds' some of their most uptight music this date. I am in fact, a bit of a 'Divvy' wherein I percieve this to be some of the most timeless ensemble' in our date. Percieve! Dear gents, perhaps we are overlooking the very state upon which musaic was once performed and obleighed??? Upon hearing this Jov Div act, I am to personte an appauling amount of songs (9). Once looking into this glass globe, whereas perhaps a young man might wave his hand and fail to achieve correct procedure. This cannot be reclaimed as an old boy and will therefore, detonate.


    one of the best songs ever by joy division | Reviewer: trixie
        ------ About the song She's Lost Control performed by Joy Division

    ian cutis the best!!!


    Missing "D" | Reviewer: Goran
        ------ About the song Isolation performed by Joy Division

    It's

    "I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through"

    with a "D."


    Yeah, baby | Reviewer: Cobalt
        ------ About the song Love Will Tear Us Apart performed by Joy Division

    Ian Curtis' voice = amazing. Just like the bassline.

    Hail Joy Division.


    Enscapsulated perfectly | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song She's Lost Control performed by Joy Division

    I have Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy and this song perfectly states the feelings and thoughts that occur before and after you have a seizure.


    Nice article , but there's a factual error in it | Reviewer: Ivan Thomasz
        ------ About artist/band Joy Division

    Good write-up. However, the song title in paragraph 10 should be "Shadowplay" and not "Shadow Plays." Just thought you should know. Thanks.


    The Heart Of The Matter | Reviewer: keving
        ------ About the song Atrocity Exhibition performed by Joy Division

    Inspired by a book, I believe, Ian Curtis produces lyrics that fight with the music, as the feedback and ceremonial drums hold sway. Delving deep into humanity's lust for power, payback, and bloodsport, the song takes you into a world too honest for most to really see. The song starts off their 2nd album/cd, "Closer!" "This is the way, step inside!"


    Sounds Like God's 4-Letter Word | Reviewer: Anonymous
        ------ About the song She's Lost Control performed by Joy Division

    Sounds Like late-era God's 4-Letter Word circa 1996.
