[kj] 1000 SUNS and PHANTASMAGORIA

[Leigh Newton]

It all makes perfect sense to me. In 1988, Alex expected nothing but greatness from KJ. In 2007, well, there really aren't any (or rather, there shouldn't be) any expectations placed upon them. They made their mark on music long ago and their creative zenith is years behind them.

Whoa there a minute. Now I know I'm probably being picky here Alex, but you are on record here as rating HFTBOH as worse than OTG.
  
"Killing Joke still reigns supreme over anything else you can  
name, despite the fact that HOSANNAS is without question their worst  
album ever (yes, that's right -- WORSE THAN OUTSIDE THE FUCKING GATE)."

Surely you must have been almost suicidal in comparison when KJ coughed up HFTBOH! Unless Hosannas is not really that terrible after all ;)

PS - Intent doesn't come over very well in emails. This one is intended as a gentle dig.

That all said, *ABSOLUTELY NOTHING* can compare to the jaw-dropping disbelief and abject disapointment I felt when I first heard "America" (to say nothing of the rest of the album that spawned it).
