: Although I really really dig New Dawn Fades,
: Shadowplay and Day Of The Lords and Twenty
: Four Hours first listen (I think I explained
: the reason why in the Unknown Pleasure is
: more "epic" thread) and those
: songs are not repetitive or boring and are
: in fact dynamic and exciting to listen to.
: If you think they are boring, perhaps just
: relisten those particular songs.
:
: I wasn't really convince by the rest of the
: album for a while and I thought Love Will
: tear us a part to be overrated (to an extent
: I still do, it's one of the most bizarre and
: unlikely hit songs I have heard)
:
: They are one of those bands that relies on
: people to like the sound of the band rather
: than the notes they play. Those type of
: bands tend to gravitate toward a reaction of
: either you 'get' the band and you love them
: or you don't. Where the music community have
: love/hate relationship towards them. What
: makes it even more difficult is that it's
: more harder for the people who love the band
: to explain why they are so great (similar to
: how people have difficulty explaining the
: magic behind Bob Dylan's voice to people who
: think he can't sing) which makes the
: division more mark.
:
: To me Ian Curtis has an exceptional voice
: where it has almost ethereal quality and yet
: commanding voice.
:
: If god does exist, I somehow imagine his
: voice to sound like Ian Curtis(although if
: the god is from the angry and vengeful
: variety, then I imagine it to sound like
: Nick Cave). Sounds peaceful, comteplative
: but attention grabbing in the process.

: I liked a couple of songs here and there.
: "Love Will Tear Us Apart",
: "Disorder",
: "Isolation"...but I found them
: really boring until fairly recently.

: I don't see what's not to like, or why it'd
: need to creep up on you. It's pretty poppy
: stuff really.
:
: it's slow, cold, tiring, repetitive and it
: all sounds similar, all of which equals out
: to a boring-as-hell listening experience.
