The 5-minute track "Run" kicks off "Silent World", probably with the weakest song of the EP. This song doesn't evoke any mood in me, which is completely different with the second song "Ehr`Rina". Here, you can feel a dark melancholic atmosphere wrapped in post-punk, which goes straight into the lifeblood of an old school punk-new waver. Great, the thumbs up for 5½ minutes is high! However, with the shortest (3 minutes) and last song on the A-side, "Okkkupy", the enthusiasm drops a bit again. Especially the guitar work in the bridges irritates me.
On the B-side, there is only one track with the title track "Silent World". But this track really delivers everything in over 12 minutes and allows you to experience JOY DIVISION anew. With "Silent World", I truly feel like I'm in 1979/80, listening to JOY DIVISION day in and day out. Just for this song, this hit, this anthem, you simply have to buy this EP!
Additionally, there is a nice lyric insert, the MP3 download code, all in a classy record sleeve with a black 10-inch vinyl record featuring the 4 songs. That earns a bonus point! The EP is also limited to only 500 copies, so you have to act quickly + no wonder SERENE FALL is so unknown, with only 500 units... (by the way, "Silent World" is not available on CD).
Despite all this (justified) praise, there are still only 4 songs, and that's a bit little after 5 years of output abstinence since their album "Burn out the light".
