Talk:The Idiot (album)

Ian Curtis
Don't you think the part about his suicide was a bit under-developed? I mean, I think it's a bit insulting that Joy Division is listed under bands the album influenced right before the casual mentioning of his death.

Go ahead and edit it if you feel it will improve the article 154.20.202.31 03:28, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

The Cover
I find it highly unlikely that the cover photo for this album was taken by a kid from new zealand who would have been 7 years old. I've not got access to the two references, but this should be verified and removed if wrong.

Post-Punk
how can it be post-punk when it was recorded in 1977? (the year of PUNK). 188.222.41.105 (talk) 20:01, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
 * 1977 may have been when Never Mind the Bollocks came out but I think most commentators consider 1975-76 the year(s) of punk. However in terms of assigning genres to this album article, it isn't really up to you and me, more how critics describe it... By the way, if you're interested in contributing to Wikipedia, why not give yourself a user name so we know who we're talking to? ;-) Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 00:37, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

obsession with and over emphasizing drugs?
Says all members had drug addictions in the stooges, not true Ron Ashton never did hard drugs or heroin. Says stooges broke up because of drugs and in-fighting, not true it was lack of commercial success and being DROPPED FROM THEIR RECORD LABEL. Who writes this stuff? Drugs are consyantly brought up in many music articles as if to be a musician is to be a drug addict supported by music. the sources often dont contain evidence to support unsubstantiated claims. 2600:1012:B1C2:852E:74E3:BDC5:94D3:2440 (talk) 11:37, 26 September 2022 (UTC)
