"It even looks like something classic, beyond its time or place of origin even as it was a clear product of both - one of Peter Saville's earliest and best designs, a transcription of a signal showing a star going nova, on a black embossed sleeve. If that were all Unknown Pleasures was, it wouldn't be discussed so much, but the ten songs inside, quite simply, are stone-cold landmarks, the whole album a monument to passion, energy, and cathartic despair".

"Unknown Pleasure borders on nihilism, but is pregnant with expectation. And like Bowie’s Low - once heard its never forgotten. It’s like going to the doctor and having your ears syringed. This is a sound that’s ready to explode. And it still feels personal".

"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".
