Anthony H Wilson to thread.
It must be said that the release of Love Will Tear Us Apart coincided nicely, thank you very much, with the death of Curtis. Hence the song will be forever in our conscience as a lament. When someone dies young, it reminds us of our own mortality and stirs the emotions more than life ever could. Because of this, death sells and death is sexy a la Hendrix, Dean, Morrisson, Drake et al. Cult status now guaranteed the release and several re-releases of LWTUA acheived the commercial success that Factory would have wanted for Joy Division.

er, what about the fact that it's a totally bomb wacked pop song that bridged the gap between morose, morbid, and moribund JD and the vital, chrome-edged robot pop of NO. HUH.
