Up until the '03 album and tour, Killing Joke was far from my favorite band.

I had briefly became interested in them via the Eighties/Love Like Blood 
singles and saw them once during the Night Time tour back in the mid 80's 
and quickly lost interest during the Thousand Suns/OTG period. I picked up a 
used cd of Pandemonium around '97 and liked it but by then, the band was 
pretty much history and I didn't have any interest in checking out their 
back catalog.

I only owned the Night Time and Pandemonium albums on cd and the '03 album 
was bought on a whim when I was browsing a record store the week it came out 
based on someone's rave review on a Metallica forum. After a week's worth of 
burning that album into my brain, I went out and bought the entire back 
catalog over a couple week's time and pretty much re-educated myself on the 
band. Than, when I saw them during the '03 tour (that LA show barely missed 
my top 10 best concerts), the deal was sealed and I became a big fan.
