"Joy Division were at the height of their powers on Closer, equaling and arguably bettering the astonishing Unknown Pleasures, that's how accomplished the four members were. Rock, however defined, rarely seems and sounds so important, so vital, and so impossible to resist or ignore as here".

"Joy Division foldede drømmenes sorte faner ud i deres musik og tekster ... Closer og Unknown Pleasures er to af periodens vigtigste albums. De fik enorm betydning for firsernes punkmiljø og har det også for den igangværende revival for postpunken med navne som Interpol, The Editors og The Killers, der har bygget en hel karriere op over Joy Division".

"The ice-sheet synthesizers of Isolation and Decades contribute to a certain aural chill, almost dropping the room temperature as it exits the speakers".
