It's good, but incredibly overrated and shouldn't be the face of post-punk. There's so much better post-punk out there.
Aiden Martinez
Could not have say it better. It's good but overrated.
Juan Ramirez
154 by Wire and Y by The Pop Group came out the same year so it’s hard to see what makes it so revolutionary
Also Closer is a lot better/interesting
I know people will shit on this because it’s popular but I really am underwhelmed on every listen

Siouxsie & The Banshees had already released "The Scream" and "Join Hands" when this came out. Peter Hook even said they were one of Joy Division's primary influences, and I think they did the whole moody atmospheric post-punk thing way better. Unknown Pleasures wasn't revolutionary upon release. The Scream was.

Brody Robinson

Levi Thompson
Basically this, its amazing at first but listening to it now the production on most songs hasn't really aged well compared to other post punk classics. Still a solid album though. Closer is better.
Julian Richardson
fuck this overrated piece of shit album
Gavin Reyes
I think it's a masterpiece. Took a long time to grow on me, but aged like fine wine. It's in the punk spirit recorded very minimalistically. But rather than using it as a rebellious gimmick, it's used to build a landscape. The rythm almost sounds like a fragile heartbeat, the guitars are weeping, and the vocals almost seem to float. It might not be the flagship of any sub-genre, but it's timeless in it's own way.
Blake Parker
Shit production
Chase Foster
based
Colton Hernandez
The lasers are bad but otherwise it's the best song on the album and has the best lyrics
Daniel Roberts
This. Wire is so good
Jeremiah Fisher
have this facebook meme
Jacob Smith
Not denying that but which post-punk records would you like better to be the "face" of the genre
Joshua Miller
Wire is based. Great taste :)
Jayden Morgan
Metal Box
Ian Jackson
Gotta be in a particular mood and ambience to really get into this album. The distant, dystopian vibe is there but I just can't tap into it casually, it takes work for me to feel it. Doesn't help that I generally like Closer more.
