Unknown Pleasures album for sale Product Description
Unknown Pleasures album for sale by Joy Division was released Oct 30, 2007 on the Rhino (Label) label. If U.K. punk was the outward expression of nihilism and youthful rebellion, the music of Joy Division signaled a sea change toward its bleaker, darker, more introspective side--in the process, giving birth to an influential, highly original sound that was to have recurring echoes in the subsequent goth, new wave, and post-punk movements.

| The sound of horror... Every now and then, there emerges a group who appear to come from nowhere, that can turn rock music upside down. By Rob J (Letchworth, Herts) This review is for a different format. |
| Absolutely amazing! This is comfortably Joy Division's finest hour! All the songs are amazing, especially Disorder, New Dawn Fades, and She's Lost Control. By a reviewer (Oxford, UK) This review is for a different format. |
| Essential 1979 punk album This is one of best punk albums released in 1979 along side the Undertones' self-titled debut, the Jam's "All Mod Cons" and Gang of Four's "Entertainment." "Unknown Pleasures" is a stark and moody album but also has some rocking moments. By david (Wilmington, DE USA)  This review is for a different format. |
| A Masterpiece Manchester, in the late 70's and early 80's was pretty much a dead post-industrial atmosphere with manufacturing industries long since shut down and people out of work. By Austin (Manchester, UK) This review is for a different format. |
| A Whole New Sound The music you will here on this album is like nothing you'll have heard before. Taking on obvious influences such as The Stooges and The Velvet Underground, Joy Division mixed them up with their own mettalic sound to create a chilling and rather sombre album. By a reviewer (Englanf) This review is for a different format. |
