But do not be mistaken, Unknow Pleasures is easily one of the best post-punk albums. The band exploded on to the scene with extremely catchy and groovy music, and became wildly popular in Manchester very quickly. In typical post-punk style, Peter Hook's bass was at the forefront in nearly every song, and with Sumner's exemplary guitar work, all the tracks on Unknown pleasures have iconic and unforgettable tunes. However, it is Martin's production magic and Ian's rich, evocative and poetic writing that elevate this album to the heights of immortality. True, the tragic death definitely did help make the band more popular, but it should take nothing away from their merits as an era-defining band.4.0 excellentAlcest Écailles De Lune
