CellarDoor, i'm seeing we have different opinions. Maybe i still haven't got into this album.

Sure, nothing is "very good". Everything on here is "excellent".

I like this album, but for me this isn't nothing that can be called "very good". Isolation and Atrocity exhibition are my favorite tracks.

Was going to post that Unknown Pleasures was greater than this, but then realized they are both great in their own respects. Everything these guys did was gold (only with Ian, of course.) New Order has some good stuff too, but nothing as great as this era.
