Released July 18, 1980. 1. Atrocity Exhibition Lyrics. One of the most chilling albums ever made, with droning guitars, icy bass lines and stentorian vocals. And that’s not even considering the lyrics, about singer Ian Curtis' epilepsy and failing marriage. When Curtis hanged himself at age 23 on May 18th, 1980, Closer officially became the stuff of rock legend.

If Unknown Pleasures was Joy Division at their most obsessively, carefully focused, ten songs yet of a piece, Closer was the sprawl, the chaotic explosion that went every direction at once. Who knows what the next path would have been had Ian Curtis not chosen his end? But steer away from the rereading of his every lyric after that date; treat Closer as what everyone else thought it was at first - simply the next album - and Joy Division's power just seems to have grown.

Joy Division, for those of you who don't know were a British post-punk band with a frighteningly suicidal lead singer. Ian Curtis, the man in question, did end up killing himself shortly after the completion of Closer's recording
