Anyway, I agree that Closer is a bit uneven, but the last three songs are brilliant. Doom and gloom have rarely been captured so beautiful and sad as in The Eternal and Decades, while Twenty Four Hours is maybe their best up-tempo song in my opinion, with some of Ian Curtis' most desolate vocals. Both Unknown Pleasures and Substance are probably better collections of songs though, with Substance having most of my favourites.
