Highly influential in shaping the modern landscapes of post-rock and post-hardcore, the album was famously praised by Steve Albini in his Melody Maker review.

Join Matt and Ryan as they take a deep dive into Joy Division's influential album, Closer. Released in 1980, the record arrived just months after the tragic death of frontman Ian Curtis. The album is widely regarded as the band's finest work and a cornerstone of the post-punk movement, a genre they helped pioneer. Praised by critics like Mark Fisher as "the crown jewel of post-punk," this album is a must-listen. See what Matt and Ryan think of this seminal work.
