With the possible exception of the Velvet Underground, no band has had a greater impact on the shape of music in the post-modern era than the Manchester, UK quartet known as Joy Division. It is not simply that Joy Division fashioned an ambient, heavy-laden and emotionally charged sound since echoed by scores of other bands. It's not that the group itself has spawned an offshootNew Order that continues to push the outside of the alternative envelope. It's not even that founder and lead singer Ian Curtis, who took his life fifteen years ago this May, endures as one of rock's most enigmatic and tragic figures. It is, rather, that the music of Joy Division was so consistently ahead of its time that even today it sounds like nothing so much as a glimpse into the fut More... (Submit New Joy Division Lyrics) (Submit New Joy Division Lyrics) Review about Joy Division love will tear us apart | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Love Will Tear Us Apart performed by Joy Division This was Ians response to the cheesy song by Captain n Tenille called love will keep us together.love will tear us apart is a truly hauntingly beautiful masterpiece by a truly tortured soul. God bless you Ian Curtis. pain | Reviewer: sadfan ------ About artist/band Joy Division understand that through all the critical hooplah and naysayers to new order... three men carried on in the face of the ultimate adversity. ian curtis was a horribly tormented man. his soul is in the music, but he also deserted his friends and family, including a young child. new order was formed partly to pay a debt to the british revenue service for implied income received from a u.s. tour that never happened. imagine having to carry on without your best friend in a band that he made famous and also destroyed. ian curtis' legacy lives on, but don't forget about the 3 men who, 30 years later are still having trouble coping with their loss. next time you listen to new order and think maybe they are a little depressing, remember ian. i'm sure they did in every song they have written since his death epilepsy | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song She's Lost Control performed by Joy Division this song is actually about ian's experience volunteering at a mental institution where he dealt with a girl that had epilepsy. that same girl i think either died in a fit or committed suicide and ian was inspired to write this song. lost control | Reviewer: Johnny ------ About the song She's Lost Control performed by Joy Division sounds like the thoughts of somebody on the verge of having a seizure... now, I have only had one once and am not sure if I have epilepsy or anything, but I'm sure if I had some sort of inkling that it was about to occur (which I didn't)) then it would be something along the lines of this. Twenty-Four Hours | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Twenty-Four Hours performed by Joy Division So this is permanence, love's shattered pride. What once was innocence, turned on its side. A cloud hangs over me, marks every move, Deep in the memory, of what once was love. Oh how I realised how I wanted time, Put into perspective, tried so hard to find, Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way. Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away. Excessive flashpoints, beyond all reach, Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep. Let's take a ride out, see what we can find, A valueless collection of hopes and past desires. I never realised the lengths I'd have to go, All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know. Just for one moment, I heard somebody call, Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all. Now that I've realised how it's all gone wrong, Gotta find some therapy, this treatment takes too long. Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway, Gotta find my destiny, before it gets too late. Introspective | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Decades performed by Joy Division Think about what difficulties JD/Ian was experiencing at the time this song was written... .trying to break onto the established music scene but were incredibly anti-establishment. .trying to say/do something astoundingly relevant but were misunderstood, under-represented and underpaid. .on the flip-side, as emerging icons of the music underworld, feeling like they had to 'represent' or present society's shortcomings, not a popular thing with the powers that be. ...'drag themselves in' 'portrayal of the trauma' ...onto the live stage, recording studio, television and bare their souls time after time, with no guarantee that anyone was really 'getting it'. Beautiful. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Disorder performed by Joy Division There is so something so raw and emotional about Ian's vocals in this song. I love the way the guitar, bass and drums seem to fit together perfectly; like a jigsaw falling into place. Brilliant song. ian's masterpiece | Reviewer: Thomas Whiteside ------ About the song Atrocity Exhibition performed by Joy Division For the record the song itself was not actually inspired or based around the Ballard novel on the same name, Ian was indeed a Ballard fan, but did not read Atrocity Exhibition until after he'd finished the song, the song however was at that stage in need of a title, as Ian saw paralells between his untitled song and the book, he figured Atrocity Exhibition was a perfect title. Love & Napalm | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Atrocity Exhibition performed by Joy Division The lyrics take a basis from the brilliant J.G. Ballard book of the same name (occasionally the book is titled Love & Napalm: Export U.S.A., though). Curtis is one of my favourite lyricists, and this exemplify why. It's haunting for its reality and put forth with such a mastery of words.

Lauren - 15 superb | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Transmission performed by Joy Division Ian Curtis should not have left us so soon; some of the lyrics he composed are timeless, and it would have been such an honor to have had his creativity nurtured and shared as he grew if only he'd had the chance. A brilliant tune | Reviewer: Larz Gustafsson ------ About the song Novelty performed by Joy Division Ian Curtis was honest. He had x-ray eyes. To a certain extent. People keep seeking for new kicks and thrills. But deep down within they' re hollow inside, like another excellent Manchester band sang...
