Yes I'm actually writing a post that I don't have to preface with OT *bows*

Recent comments about Killing Joke being on a decline since their first 6
years. I'd have to disagree and cite, specifically, 1994's Pandemonium.
Quoting specific song titles on it is redundant to me, the entire album is
totally, totally, solid. 2003 was also massive. And This Savage Freedom is
one of the best songs ever recorded. Zennon is brilliant as well, Universe
B, 4 Stations.

KJ over the last 2 years has occupied probably more than 50% of my listening
time (often averaging 4-5+ hours a day), for long stretches 100%, hugely
disproportional. I don't really hold out hope of finding another treasure
trove back catalog like Killing Joke.and at this rate, I just can't see
music returning to the form of the past. Can only hope. Current state of
play is pretty awful, unless I'm missing some boat.
