Review by Ramdan Leonido

Dance To The Radio, the third album by Joy Division, is a hauntingly beautiful collection of post-punk tracks that showcase the band's raw talent and experimental sound. Released in 1983, two years after the death of lead singer Ian Curtis, the album features tracks that are both melancholic and uplifting, with lyrics that delve into themes of love, loss, and isolation.

The album's opener, "Transmission," sets the tone for the rest of the record with its driving bassline and Curtis' signature baritone vocals. The following tracks, including "She's Lost Control" and "Isolation," continue to explore the darker side of human emotion, while songs like "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and "Atmosphere" offer a glimmer of hope amidst the despair.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Dead Souls," which features a haunting melody and Curtis' haunting vocals. The song's lyrics, which speak to the struggle of living with mental illness, are as relevant today as they were when the album was released.

Summary by Ramdan Leonido

Dance To The Radio is a must-listen for fans of post-punk and alternative music. It's a testament to Joy Division's enduring legacy and the impact they've had on the music world.
