So, over the last couple decades, U2 has gone on the be symbolic of the over the top, anthemic rock turd. But those early years were great. I personally prefer The Unforgettable Fire and War over Boy, but it's a solid if not incredible debut. But Boy doesn't even come close to comparing to Unknown Pleasures. Boy contains flashes of greatness. Unknown Pleasures is greatness embodied. Some users can't relate to the way Joy Division perfectly captured manic depression in recorded form, but it's there. Anyone who's ever been to the darker places of psychosis should be able to relate. Unknown Pleasures is a jarring experience that was unlike anything before it. Like Elliot Smith later on, Ian Curtis gave a voice to the tragic passenger, hanging on in a world not made for them. _________________ http://jonnyleather.com
