Spiller86 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 For everyone who hasn't seen Control, you really should check it out. Excellent film about a pretty amazing musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loz Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 The word genius is used too much these days however Ian Curtis fully merits it. That he wrote some of those lyrics at the age of 21/22 is breathtaking. I know bjd and I disagree on this but, for me, New Order were a painful bar stewardisation of Joy Division. At least they changed the name but I still couldn't stomach the move from the raw pain and power of Joy Division to the New York electric sound of New Order. There isn't a single writer to better him since he died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
