[kj] Killing Joke 2003 or Hosannas from the Basements of hell

[sade1]

   I still hear the anger, the indignation, that post-cerebral-mutation spark of choice&conscience** rooted in their earliest days, but i think - as *I* hear the 
  music- it meets resistance as it is channeled thru the methods, production, 
  musical styles, etc. such as electricity encounters unintentional resistance 
  as it travels up any given cable. 
   
     I think this is due to Jaz being overly involved in the direction of the recording. 
  Might even parallel his own battles with 
  bipolar disorder (and this is all guesswork): 
     just as he wants to express a genuine bit of himself but not have it come out 
  so "pure" and instead "PC's" [polit.crrctness.] it just enough for a given audience's 
  palatability, so do i think he may (knowingly or no) also have done sowith the 
  post-ExDAVRE(post-'90) cds.
   
   
  **like the lemming that mutates conscious thought 
    just as all the other lemmings are leaping off the cliff 
    and said lemming thinks, "Hey wtf?!"  =:~o  and runs the other way.

      Abso-fuckin-lutely. The anger comes out in the music & that's the thing that's missing with every release after Extremities - where's the rage gone? Well, of course everyone wants to be happier in life, so I'm asking for something I can't have - Jaz is older, happier/contented & not coming out of a nervous breakdown - let's sing about daisies instead !

    Here, here, great reincarnation/resurrection/comeback album for the band. 
  It is as non-pretentiously full-on Killing Joke as they could be. A great cd.

          This is it - I don't think it deserves such a dissing at all, just needs to be fucking heard properly!
   
  Still, my fave KJ album, Extremeties doesn't get much praise on this list & it's one of my all time
  greatest albums EVER.

  I just wish Hosannas had been produced properly is all.

  
Hi Ade,
   
  I second that! 
   
  For me, Hosannas has some great tunes (Judas Goat, Implosion, Tribal Antidote, Majestic, etc..)
  I wish we could hear it on a diferent mixing and prodution!
  but If I had to choose between the two, I�ll go for 2003! altought there�s some weak moments on it!
