[kj] Killing Joke - Is that it?

[Crack]

   I disagree with all your points Alex.
Its time for Killing Joke to move on . Killing jokes early works were  
the result of Jaz's anger and frustration with the World around him,  
Killing joke was a release for his anger and frustration . He believed  
in what he said and s why the lyrics and music portrayed this . Fast  
Forward to 2006 and Jaz is no longer the angry frustrated young man ,  
he's now a happy and content middle aged man . But he's still trying  
to make the music of a frustrated young man.
   Thats why the music has sounded insincere recently .
What Jaz needs to do is move forward, make music that is more intact  
with his emotions .
   Killing Joke MUST move forwards and NOT backwards.Killing Joke have  
explored all the avenues in its present form . There no way out but  
forward .
