ReviewsRanked #20 in Nme's List of the `Greatest Albums of All Time.', "...A Work of Genius...", Ranked #157 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums of All Time", Ranked #8 in NME's list of The 50 Greatest Albums Of The '80s - "...`Sad,' `depressing,' and `really, really depressing,' CLOSER is one man's eloquently articulated angst set to a spine-tingling, soft-focus soundtrack...", 10 - Classic - "...a benchmark against which, if nothing else, all those early Cure albums sound a bit silly....", Ranked #2 in the Nme "Top 30 Heartbreak Albums"., 4 Stars - Excellent - "...CLOSER is less clattering and disturbingly more haunted....Martin Hannett's delicate production prized every last shivering nuance. On one level it's a terrifying last testament. But Peter Hook's becoming a great bassist...", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Prickly synths and lurching grooves suggest an ascetic version of disco, and Curtis sings as if he's hanging on by a thread...", Ranked #56 in Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Albums of the 80s" Survey. (November 1989), Included in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums Ever"
The sleeve is not quite up to the thickness and quality of the original but it's pretty close. The vinyl itself is superior and the sound quality is superb
