Closer is the second and final studio album by English rock band Joy Division, released on 18 July 1980 by Factory Records. Produced by Martin Hannett, it was Joy Division's first posthumous album and was released two months after the suicide of the band's lead singer and lyricist Ian Curtis. The album reached No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart and peaked at No. 3 in New Zealand in September 1981. Closer was also named NME Album of the Year. It was remastered and re-released in 2007.

Released July 18, 1980. 1. Atrocity Exhibition Lyrics. One of the most chilling albums ever made, with droning guitars, icy bass lines and stentorian vocals. And that’s not even considering the lyrics, about singer Ian Curtis' epilepsy and failing marriage. When Curtis hanged himself at age 23 on May 18th, 1980, Closer officially became the stuff of rock legend.

If Unknown Pleasures was Joy Division at their most obsessively, carefully focused, ten songs yet of a piece, Closer was the sprawl, the chaotic explosion that went every direction at once. Who knows what the next path would have been had Ian Curtis not chosen his end? But steer away from the rereading of his every lyric after that date; treat Closer as what everyone else thought it was at first - simply the next album - and Joy Division's power just seems to have grown.

Joy Division Closer was released one year after the release of their first album Unknown Pleasures.

Joy Division, for those of you who don't know were a British post-punk band with a frighteningly suicidal lead singer. Ian Curtis, the man in question, did end up killing himself shortly after the completion of Closer's recording

Unless I'm very much mistaken; this is taken straight from the 2007 CD remasters. What's the point?!
Obong
My copy is slightly warped. Overall sound is good except strong inner groove distortion on the last track of side 2.
Riavay
There is indeed an unavoidable IGD, but on the Eternal on my part (specifically on Ian's voice), but it's so minor that it's not even an issue. Very convincing réédition overall, with a beautiful remaster and faithfully recreated sleeve !
