From the characteristically angular Girls Against Boys hardcore version of "She's Lost Control" to the mind-blowing slowcore covers by Low ("Transmission" taken to a light-permeable crawl) and Codeine ("Atmosphere," a fitting choice), it is clear that these are people whose very being was altered by Joy Division.
A Means to an End is a beautiful selection of the songs of Joy Division, arguably one of the most important bands of the 20th century, played by some of the musicians they inspired. The key to a successful tribute album is not only to have a brilliant band to pay tribute to, but a selection of unique bands playing the covers.
