when I first heard, it was interesting but didn't capture me, this album glows on me slowly.
it was at 70~80 in my chart and soon it climbed to top50, but some reason it didn't attracted me no more.
and after weeks I relistened it. especially last and this week
and Now it's at my 25 and I guess it'll go higher.
I love that wild drum beat and simple bass with unfamiler guitar
and of course uniquely miserble voices of Ian is great

Good for you, it's an amazing piece of work, although I understand it's harder for some persons to get it after a number of listens, some of it is truly nightmarish and haunting, especially if you consider the facts of the life Curtis had at the same time.
I love Closer. For some reason, I got into Closer before Unknown Pleasures. It's a really dark depressing album. But there's something even more special about Unknown Pleasures. That album embodies manic depression. Manic depression isn't just sadness, but an intense, bottled-up sadness that generates anxiety, outbursts, paranoia, rage.
The production on Unknown Pleasures isn't great. The technical playing is imperfect. But that's part of what makes it tick. A pristine recording would destroy its urgency. That's why all the imitators sound so ridiculous. They focus so hard on the sound and mystique, but never understand the urgency and genuine pain of Ian Curtis.
