Best gothic rock post-punk album of the year
Best debut album of the year
Best UK album of the year
"I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling,
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling"
I am glad that when I was about 18 my best mate was a Joy Division fan because they are not easily instantly accessable, but over a short period of time I came to adore this, Closer, Still, and Substance.
10/10 songs: Disorder, She's Lost Control, and Shadowplay [First added to this chart: 07/25/2017]
