Unknown Pleasures is overrated crap, but this is decent. I especially love "Atrocity Exhibition".

Best track: Isolation


For once Naples I have to agree with you.... 'Isolation' is the bomb! It was my third most listened to song of 2011 (and I doubt that stat has changed much over the last nearly 30 years!)

Me and 'Closer' have been through a lot together and it still never fails to move me in ways that are sometimes quite scary!

A masterpiece! Smile

their masterpiece, every track is simply amazing. the three last songs are the centerpieces here, to me; the opening two tracks are close behind. On a side note, Unknown Pleasures is decent I guess... maybe... probably not

I was just listening to this while reading Hellblazer the other day. They went eerily well together. "Decades" is one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
