Yeah, I was quite struck by that howling omission as well.

I'm surprised they didn't mention Dave Grohl......

These middle-aged Brits, who first blended metal, post-punk and New Wave
sounds into an oppressive mess twenty years ago return with one of the
darkest
albums in their extensive catalog. On tracks such as "Loose Cannon", the big
riffs and expertly constructed electronic textures make for a heady, dark
mix. But
all the humorless gloom and doom feels oppressive after a while, and KILLING
JOKE ultimately plays like the soundtrack to a slightly pretentious horror
film
- Christian Hoard and Jon Caramanica.
Opinions aside, what a horribly written bit of drivel (the adjective
"oppressive" apearing twice in three sentences?) I get the feeling the only
track
these cock-jockeys listened to was "Loose Cannon". And what's this about
"expertly
constructed electronic textures"? What does that even MEAN?
Fuck Rolling Stone.
