How high did they get thinking this shite up I wonder?
Not that it wasnt emulation at its finest when Joy Division did Unknown Pleasures, e.g.

Either too high or not high enough. I imagine it was meant as a big to the record company. I mean, they just recorded what ended up being arguably the greatest album of all time and the label told them, "Hey, that was great. Could you do that again only better this time." No wonder they got disillusioned and wrote "Welcome to the Machine" and "Have a Cigar".

This is overblown by fans, particularly casual fans who assume that because the fans (it was the 70s, baws) were all high that the band was high.
During the main creative period of the band, David and Roger (the principal songwriters) were relatively sober as rock stars from the 60s and 70s go.
First of all, they saw Syd fry his brain with LSD and other psychedelics. As far as we know, Roger never had a big problem with any drug or alcohol. David developed a cocaine problem in the late 80s/early 90s, but reportedly got through it fairly efficiently. Otherwise, he seems to have been relatively sober, again, for a rock star of that era.
Rick had a decades long drug (and, to a degree, alcohol) problem, but his productivity seemed to plummet during his periods of heavy drug use.
