[kj] the missing album

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

What's the matter (feat. Honey Bane) - who "composed" that one? Was it 
a Joke song?

   that's what's wrong with it. KILLING JOKE music should thrill and/or 
move you. it should at least have SOME effect on you! who wants to 
listen to a song that has no impact at all? the lyrics are dire and 
there's not really any sort of riff to speak of.

  but i agree with jamie et al 'nuclear boy' and 'animal' are good 
enough to merit proper studio renditions. 'malicious boogie' is a bit 
daft but mildly enjoyable if you're in the mood for "something very 
silly" - YOWSER YOWSER!

  wasn't the story about 'are you receiving?' that it was written after 
jaz stormed off in a huff cuz youth was so rubbish? geordie presuaded 
him to keep trying, so he started playing that repetative line and 
geordie wrote the riff on top. so i guess that's why jaz's keyboards 
aren't on it. he could have added some, of course, but presumably the 
song didn't need it. the other early songs probably started out with 
and idea of jaz's? that's my theory and i'm sticking to it.

I actually didn't think it was capable to hate such a
"non-song" so much. What's wrong with it, exactly?
