The Correct Use of Soap
Magazine · Post-Punk
Produced by Joy Division collaborator Martin Hannett, Magazine's third album paired Howard Devoto's paranoid, aphoristic lyrics with a looser, poppier sound built around John McGeoch's percussive guitar work and a cover of Sly and the Family Stone's 'Thank You,' making it the band's most accessible entry point.
