We’re back today with the results of Round 7 of our sporadic Slicing Up Eyeballs artist poll series, a ranking of all 51 songs written and recorded by post-punk icons Joy Division over the band’s sadly truncated career, cut short by the death in 1980 of frontman Ian Curtis. Full results right here.

Now that we’ve revealed the somewhat-anticipated results of our latest Slicing Up Eyeballs artist poll — one that ranks all 51 songs recorded by Joy Division — it’s only natural we’d throw together a Spotify playlist of the ranked countdown. Well, minus the eight songs that aren’t on the streaming service.

This is a round-up of the week’s new albums, expanded reissues and/or box sets, appearing each Monday on Slicing Up Eyeballs. All releases due out this Friday unless noted. May also include some other titles released in recent weeks but not previously featured. Includes releases by Depeche Mode, Joy Division and more.

Rhino Records will release a new 40th anniversary edition of Joy Division’s second album Closer, a new pressing on clear vinyl that will be issued alongside new vinyl pressings of three of the band’s iconic non-album singles. Plus, the former members of Joy Division are marking the anniversary of Ian Curtis’s death today.

Well, it’s been a couple years since we last dipped our toes into our ongoing series of artist polls, but it feels as good a time as any to revive that practice, and ask the readers of Slicing Up Eyeballs to rank every song written and released by the legendary Joy Division. Vote right here.
