专辑介绍
第二张专辑《Closer》，专辑中处处可见Ian Curtis那颗黑色的心灵的伤痕。从一开始的 Atrocity Exhibition 到结束的 Decades 都是如此，更不用说著名的 Isolation 和 The Eternal 了。听过这张专辑后，那种渗透进灵魂中的莫名哀伤已让不少Ian Curtis的追随者变成了殉道者。
这张专辑在滚石杂志选出的500张历代最强专辑中排名第157位。
If Unknown Pleasures was Joy Division at their most obsessively, carefully focused, ten songs yet of a piece, Closer was the sprawl, the chaotic explosion that went every direction at once. Who knows what the next path would have been had Ian Curtis not chosen his end? But steer away from the rereading of his every lyric after that date; treat Closer as what everyone else thought it was at first — simply the next album — and Joy Division's power just seems to have grown. Martin Hannett was still producing, but seems to have taken as many chances as the band itself throughout — differing mixes, differing atmospheres, new twists and turns define the entirety of Closer, songs suddenly returned in chopped-up, crumpled form, ending on hiss and random notes. Opener "Atrocity Exhibition" was arguably the most fractured thing the band had yet recorded, Bernard Sumner's teeth-grinding guitar and Stephen Morris' Can-on-speed drumming making for one heck of a strange start. Keyboards also took the fore more so than ever — the drowned pianos underpinning Curtis' shadowy moan on "The Eternal," the squirrelly lead synth on the energetic but scared-out-of-its-wits "Isolation," and above all else "Decades," the album ender of album enders. A long slow crawl down and out, Curtis' portrait of lost youth inevitably applied to himself soon after, its sepulchral string-synths are practically a requiem. Songs like "Heart and Soul" and especially the jaw-dropping, wrenching "Twenty Four Hours," as perfect a demonstration of the tension/release or soft/loud approach as will ever be heard, simply intensify the experience. Joy Division were at the height of their powers on Closer, equaling and arguably bettering the astonishing Unknown Pleasures, that's how accomplished the four members were. Rock, however defined, rarely seems and sounds so important, so vital, and so impossible to resist or ignore as here.

- @gyroscope：可能比第一张还要好。 但对我而言这种看似阴暗的东西实际是可以疗伤的，那种温软的治愈系实际上是媚俗的
- @安非他命：看来对isolation和heart and soul带感的粉丝不少，还有好几首也都是JD的名曲，但很少看见有JD粉提到Atrocity Exhibition和Twenty Four Hours呀……多好呀这两首。 话说当年这张专辑最抓住的就是atrocity exhibition，还有最后一首decades。如果只能选一首歌来代表JD的话，我肯定选decades。
