i never got into 'Roots', their last good album for me was 'Arise'. This Killing Joke metal tag is well-founded i'd say. In so far as it fits in with the new 'Kerrang' version of metal in all it's forms.
Metal riffs, Dave Grohl drumming, the vid being on Kerrang TV and nowhere else, the artwork, the choice of single. Seems pretty clear to me. But then KJ played their part in the new metal scene anyway i guess.
Metal these days is a punk/rock/metal/industrial hybrid anyway (you can add pop to that mixture also unfortunately).
The most unique thing about this album is Jaz. The best vocal performance by anyone in years.

I am a metaller - I consider Sepultura's 'Roots' album
to be one of the human race's greatest achievements - and
it depresses me too to see KJ called metal. The only people
who do that are people who never listen to metal.
But I agree with the earlier comment about Geordie being
lazy with the 'metal' riffs.
Then again I'm also a bit of a country fan, so hopefully
that Dolly Parton/KJ collaboration won't be far off. And while
that seems unlikely, if someone had told me in 1981 that Jaz would
one day be conducting the Prague Symphony Orchestra...
