Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room Joy Division

Garry: I relayed your post, so a message from Maryann (deep in mountain country).

M say's to listen to a track called 'Tear You Apart' on what she thinks is their only album to date - 'She Wants Revenge'.

Maryann also wants everyone to know she has missed the forum, and hopes to be back about midweek.

Here I is...back from vacation.
Thanks K for relaying my comments and greetings to all in my absence.


So Garry, have you had the chance to listen to anything by SWR?

Welcome back M.

Living in a 'shed' in the mountains, with only dead mice for company.
When are you ever gonna go on a Butlins holiday. :rolleyes:

Good to be back, K.

At least the bear wasn't around this time.

Butlins

Hi maryann,

Hope you had a nice time despite the mice! I haven't yet no - but their on my list for when I hit the record shops this Saturday!

Thanks Garry, I did. Autumn colors (although muted due to the dry conditions), cool but sunny weather, lots of wildlife to watch.....

Did you mention record shops.........

I think I finally have it sorted out regarding WHO sounds like WHO:

Joy Division came first

Interpol is the best of the new groups and draws the most critical acclaim and comparisons to Joy Division. Perhaps his vocals a bit but I still don't hear it. Maybe I need to hear Closer or another Joy Division cd. Substance certainly did not make me think of the Interpol/Joy Division comaprisons.

However, She Wants Revenge sounds EXACTLY like Joy Division with Interpol mixed in.

The Editors sound like Interpol + The Bravery.

The Bravery and The Killers borrow from each other.

confused

.....and New Order. What order do they fit in this??

They don't sound anything like any of the above mentioned groups. Honestly. I have no idea where they fit in at all.

I think thats partly explained by the fact that New Order decided to not sound like JD, the whole point was a new order of both personal and sound.
