Control was excellent. Peter Hook paid it compliments too even though he admitted that some of it was for the movies, so to speak. Perhaps Claymores is thinking of 24 Hour Party People? Which is good fun but mostly just Steve Coogan going around being Steve Coogan for 90 minutes.

Whilst New Order probably musically do more for me as a group, Joy Division just get me. Get me like depressing bands are meant to get people. But I've always just enjoyed depressing bands. Good music is good music and so makes me happy. But no Joy Division actually depress me.

They demand it from you though. It's this weird sadomasochistic kind of symbiotic relationship between listener and artist.
