MM classics
It's like an old wine, ten songs, ten stories. "Closer" reminds me a pathetic love story whenever i listen to it. It's the strongest combination of gloomy sound as well as paranoid, flowing to your veins so slowly but not painful way.

It teaches you how to understand life in different ways. With regard to Division's Closer or Curtis' lyrics we can see that something dark comes out of its shell. Ian Curtis tells lots of thing about real face of life. That makes "Closer" closer to humans' life story. It always starts good, and ends in a bad way.

"Closer" is an entire record, it's division of ways, fading of flowers, a true experience of music. Especially arrangements, deep and dark sound waves, all these become the most dramatic music when playing on backround. Curtis' affective voice, gentle bass guitars and stunning drums shot you down! It grasps your hair, pulls you down and down. With the last bullet fired by gun, which is called "Decades", will be last shot. Finally you find yourself smashed into pieces. As for musically and lyrical expression of "Closer", it's one of the most fascinating album on the earth yet. Where have they been? Where have they been?...
