<DIV></DIV>>As if you didn't already have enough reasons to boycott this glorified toilet
<DIV></DIV>>paper, Rolling Stone reviews the new album:
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>KILLING JOKE
<DIV></DIV>>Killing Joke
<DIV></DIV>>ZUMA
<DIV></DIV>>** (two stars out of five)
<DIV></DIV>>These middle-aged Brits, who first blended metal, post-punk and New Wave
<DIV></DIV>>sounds into an oppressive mess twenty years ago return with one of the darkest
<DIV></DIV>>albums in their extensive catalog. On tracks such as "Loose Cannon", the big
<DIV></DIV>>riffs and expertly constructed electronic textures make for a heady, dark mix. But
<DIV></DIV>>all the humorless gloom and doom feels oppressive after a while, and KILLING
<DIV></DIV>>JOKE ultimately plays like the soundtrack to a slightly pretentious horror film
<DIV></DIV>>- Christian Hoard and Jon Caramanica.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Opinions aside, what a horribly written bit of drivel (the adjective
<DIV></DIV>>"oppressive" apearing twice in three sentences?) I get the feeling the only track
<DIV></DIV>>these cock-jockeys listened to was "Loose Cannon". And what's this about "expertly
<DIV></DIV>>constructed electronic textures"? What does that even MEAN?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Fuck Rolling Stone.
