I know the comparisons between

and Ian Curtis are inevitable, and have been made my far more knowledgable people than myself when it comes to music, but I actually think

outshines anything Joy Division ever did with this Best Of.
[...] is undoubtedly

's Love Will Tear Us Apart, an intellegent, melancholy affair. But whereas Curtis only ever recorded two albums,

is on to at least his 15th (that I own anyway). The Curtis/

arguments will continue to rage across the music press, but, for me at least, with this collection

will leave no one in any doubt as to who is the greatest. It's

My new girlfriend lent me this album, she said her ex-boyfriend gave it to her and things went downhill betweeen them from there. I must say that I would beg to differ with those who hold
![]()
in the "genius" category, indeed on listening to his music I would say the words "wool", "eyes", "pulling" and "over" spring to mind. Nevertheless, I wish him the best of luck in having got this far with such an astounding lack of talent. Okay, back to the gardening forum..

Took the day off work to wait for the postman to arrive with my copy of this blinder. I slammed up the volume as loud as I could and blew my brains away with [...].
Wow what an opener. Despite already owning 38 copies of this CD every new purchase is like giving myself a birthday treat.
I was pleased to find my personal favourite [...] making a reappearence on the CD. A classic I havent heard since I saw

perform on [.....] '92.
After melting the CD from over playing and rewinding the damn thing I bought another. A must have.

Here it is, ten days after this album first arrived on my doorstep. The only time it has left my CD player was to move it to yet another cd player. This usually happens about twice a day. Once in the morning, when I wake up after listening to it in my sleep, I need to take it to my CDman so I can listen to it in the car and then secretly at work. Then, a second time I take it out of my CDman and place it back into my home stereo. So, all in all, it has probably been listened to, on average, 23 hours, 59 minutes, and about 15 seconds, give or take, each day. During that span of 14,392.5 minutes, my life has forever changed. My first child was conceived and born, I got a promotion to my dream job (Cheif of security at the mall), AND I finally filled that void that had been left in my heart since the day I was born. I tried to fill that hole with Jesus, Buddha, Shatner, and Allah. But now I know, only

has that power. The power to move you in ways you've never imagined. The power to rock your socks off. The power love. Thanks
