[kj] album cover

[Javier Garcia]

Your message is almost like you have stolen my words Alex!... Now here are my two pesitos:
While the new CD cover is far away from the usal Killing Joke concept/spirit and adding I think Colesy's work with Killing Joke has been great, I don't think the new cover is that bad. Actually i do like that clown and it would certainly look absolutely wonderful in a t-shirt. 
IMO the worst thing about the new cover is the yellow background; I mean, when Killing Joke comes to my mind I may think in black, red, gray... even white!... i think in contrasted images basically. 
Another disturbing issue is that lame Insane Clown Pose reference that the new album may create in some young poeple. (I also thought about that one Alex!)... very, very disturbing. But what the... I want to wear a T- with that angry clown!!! (don't really care if it's printed on a yellow t-shirt).

It's sad Mike Coles is out... but still there's that bootleg cover alternative, and there's all that Malicious Damage wonderful stuff... So bring it on Colesy!! 
You know we know you are the man

cheers!! and nice weekend killin'jokeros!
