Title: I'm going out to get Substance
Review: I'm listening, for the first time in a couple of years, to my vinyl copy of Unknown Pleasures as I write this. I still like this record, but the production is getting in my way. She's Lost Control is too gimicky; Shadowplay too slow and neat. The versions on Substance are more dynamic and compelling.It's a heck of record to be sure, but, as the uninitiated should already have guessed from some of the reviews, there isn't a whole lot of light in here to compliment the inky blackness.I'd recommend Substance as better value; I'd also recommend the complete BBC John Peel Sessions CD for a better overall view of what Joy Division were.
Is the review positive or negative?
