Holy shit! Where in the hell did this one come from??????? This has to be there best album since Nightime! Seriously, the guitars rage, Jaz' vocals are top notch and the playing is inspired. Please do yourself a favor and get this thing. I was very non committal on listening to this and boy was I wrong. This is awesome!!!!Ken
Couldn't agree more. I snatched this one a few weeks back and have enjoyed early and often since. It is easily my favorite since Extremities.
ReplyDelete.........do you really think this is their best ?
ReplyDeleteMr. Coleman thinks also this is their best........dunno
My personal Killing Joke album is Revelations
Diffent taste i think
I think their best since Night Time Topper. They have been pretty patchy since then. This one is quite good though. But really, their first 4 are way better!

.........ahh since Night Time, but their Album Killing Joke in 2003 is also a very vicious album (with Dave Grohl on drums)I'm still waiting for "The death and resurrection show " docu / movie.
ReplyDeleteKeep on going Ken..............how's Angry ?
Didn't post very much lately
Topper I will check out that album. KJ lost me after Night Time....I have heard that it was a good album. Angry will be posting more stuff. He has been drinking beer and enjoying some life stuff. Watch, one day he will post like 5 albums in one day....He is doing well too!

Ken.......let me know youre opinion on that KJ album.
ReplyDeleteHa Angry........ We bought a puppy dog so we have a lot of fun with it. Takes a lot of patience and time. Still looking and listening to punk and so on. Still waiting for my Public Zone single. I ordered that one ( You can listen to it at the KBD Blog)
Nice to hear from you again
I will find it this weekend and I will let you know Topper. Man, I have been on a Killing Joke thing of late!
ReplyDeleteKen

HA !
Hey thanks for that link Topper,and thanks Ken,I already got the album but enjoyed yr comments,which are spot on by the way..I stopped looking out for KJ releases after the first handful of L.P.'s too - even the recent so-called return to form failed to move me.I felt that their music had become more like the bands they had allegedly inspired- American heavy metal (call it by another name if you want), and less like Killing Joke.The Cure suffered the same fate but they're back to their best too.
ReplyDeleteBut yeah love this new KJ album.
Glad you agree! Yep, this album is damn good. It has been played non stop at my home!

I am surprised no one has mentioned "Hosannas from the Basement of Hell". That record is super raw and fucking brutal. It is like a death march through the sands of time. Truly relentless. Killing Joke is very much on their game.... cheers.
