Joy Division - Day Of The Lords

Judging by the title of this song, I was expecting a slow paced song with a dark undertone. And that's actually pretty close to what it is. Starts out with a strong bass line and guitar picking. Then the Joy Division guy starts singing with that patented Joy Division guy sound. It pretty much sets the mood for the whole song, as it really doesn't leave this tone.

The chorus is a bit faster, and comes with a high-pitched organ/keyboard thing. Near the end of the song, it picks up a bit and the guy starts to yell a bit more, and it almost sound like there are other people singing with him.

All in all I found it boring, but it's not bad by any measure.

Rating: 7/10

Recomendations:
Les Savy Fav -- We'll Make a Lover of You
Beat Happening -- Secret Picnic Spot
Ratatat -- Seventeen Years
