yeah, exactly. they keep mellowing with age haha. in a nice way though. love that band.

not quite the same thing, but of the same era—you’ve heard new order, yes? i know it sounds like a stupid question but you were born this century lol and how should i know. anyway, if you haven’t, listen to a bit of new order.

I am aware of New Order, but I have never listened to them. I'll keep them in mind for once I keep making my way through this backlog.

i think i remember you liked joy division?

after ian curtis died the rest of the band added a keyboardist embraced synthesizers became new order

i like them better than joy division (and mvb, lol)

different beast though

Neil Young - Rust Never Sleeps

Chimera Split Two

Man, everyone says New Order > Joy Division but I just cannot abide that.

For my dumb, uncultured ass, the band that made Unknown Pleasures & Closer is >>>>

i dont know this “everyone” that you speak of. i think there’s a thread about it here actually, and as i recall opinions were divided. who cares though? i mean... i don’t like it because other people like it... anyone who does that is an idiot. i just like what i like and my tastes change with time and that’s life. what’s interesting for me is to hear other people’s explanations.

anyway joy division was a great band, no doubt. but my problem with them now is i can always hear the hangman. i mean this constant drive towards depression and self obliteration that promptly tires me the fuck out.

new order was a great reinvention, and has a much larger output and were in more ways defining of their era. yes they at times made some horrendous unlistenable disco, but their best stuff i can listen to all day in every possible remix and not feel like i drank a bad batch of kombucha and now need medicine.
