As a massive Joy Division fan, I'm shamed to say that Unknown Pleasures wasn't the first album I owned. Instead, Substance was the first JD album I picked up, which led me to purchase Unknown Pleasures next. It's definitely very high in my personal top favourite albums of all time, and my favourite of Joy Division's, if you don't count Warsaw's (aka Joy Division) self-titled release. Every song on the album portrays a full spectrum of emotions: anxiety, freedom, relief, anger, complete and utter sadness, with lyrical themes that range from betrayal, death, depression, religion and crumbling sanity.
