[kj] Future of KJ

[Joe Casavola]

It's understandable with Raven's decision to leave...For how long I don't 
know...

I picked up my copy of Hossanas and it did taken 3-4 listenings for the 
album to grow on me. I have to agree on first listen of the album, that the 
vocals seemed a bit muffled, compared to all of KJ's catalogue.

I found many similarities and influences from ealier KJ albums, such as 
Extremities, Pandamonium, and Democracy.

...Most of the hypocracy I read many times on the Gatherers list is how 
crappy the fucking mix on Democracy....Hey at least you can hear the fucking 
vocals....And yes you can hear Geordie's fucking guitar...

I am not knocking hossanas and it is more consistant to KJ 2003. Hossanas 
material kicks ass!

But again, I remember most of the Gathers touting how good KJ 2003 was so 
kick ass and better than Democracy and Pandamonium. Now Hossanas is 
out...."2003 sucks and Hossanas rules"

I am a Killing Joke Fan! I don't know if I classify myself as a Gatherer. I 
started out listening to the original catalogue when I was 17...and no I 
wasn't a little sperm when they were producing!!!

I still think Pandamonium, Democracy, and KJ 2003 has cleaner mixes. As for 
the current Band's turmoil.....

There was atricle submitted by another gatherer relating to the "man", Big 
Paul. Hey if he's invited to play, why doesn't Jaz lay down his ego and get 
back the core members....

"The Original Guys who started it all"....Big Paul, Geordie, Youth, and 
Jaz....-"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before",  how Youth screws things up. 
If I'm not mistaken?....There's no Bassist and all there is mention of is 
Geordie and Jaz...Where's Benny?

Raven's with Ministry now....Maybe  things will work itself out. I'm 
starting to see Deja Vu all over again, back to the days of Democracy and 
the Pcyche problems the band is going through.

As for the future flak... How hypacritical.... No I am not going to get off 
the fucking list....I buy the tickets, the EPs', T-Shirts, and all of the KJ 
Albums, with the exception of OTG and Brighter than a Thousand Suns. I'm a 
devoted FAN!!!!
