The Excitement on the album is what drags me into it. I compare this
album to Extremities, not because its harder edged, but that it signals a
return of Jaz actually being "into" KJ rather than just phoning it in.
Also, it signals the return of a rhythm section for KJ, I know people
will disagree, but the plodding bass of Youth and the boring drums of
Dugmore kill Pandemonium for me. Wether it's Youth/Raven/Geordie who
wrote the bass it is certainly more upbeat and the drums fit the music
instead of simply providing a backbeat.
From,
Will

'Loose Cannon' is the weak link so far, but as I'm cycling through the
tracks, I'm liking it more and more.
KJ sounds like they're SERIOUSLY on they're game for this one - I want to
say it's one of, if not THE most listenable (ie. popularly) album they've
ever made. There is no question: KILLING JOKE, once more, is the best
rock band on the planet.
I've put some thought into this, and I think this is the best album
they've made since 'Night Time', which is my favorite (it even eclipses
'Extremities' in terms of anger). Since I've only heard 6 songs so far,
one thing I'd like to hear more of is Geordie - other than that, I think
it's fucking awesome!! I also think if they play their cards right,
this could be a HUGE album for them in terms of sales. (they deserve
it) I think they're going to hurt some people with the power they
generate from this stuff live, also.... (I can't wait!!)
"...burn, burn....burn brightly....burn, burn....burn WHITE HEAT!"
LONG LIVE KILLING JOKE!!
Tom.
p.s. that said, let's hope July 28th hurries the fuck up!!
p.p.s. $10.00 says raven played on 'Total Invasion'.........I'd
recognize that knuckle-dragger's basslines anywhere. :))
