Ah, Viz; the days of my youth, all that time spent pretending it was funny...

Actually they did a hilariously funny rip-off of the adverts for ceramic plates and collections you always find in the Radio Times and 'women's' magazine. That was great.

Architects erect erections, monoliths are raised? Nothing dodgy there!

Musically and lyrically Tabazan is one of my favourite Joke tracks. Top stuff.

What's wrong with "Mother - release me"?


Ew.

Tabazan is one the worst set of lyrics in KJ history (and there have been some shockers).

Recent lyrics are the equivalent of Geordie's metal chug.

I'm glad Big Paul is helping to write the lyrics --

BUT I have to admit that "Extremities" has some of my favorite Killing Joke lyrics ever. There are some classic lines in there that Jaz wrote about how people perceive wealth, i.e. "feather the nest and fuck the rest," which is a great line hat could be its own slogan, and which seems to be the motto of so many greed-obsessed corporate ass-licking craven social climbers, as he suggested. I.e. "I got mine, so fuck you."

But it will be cool to see what happens. The lyrics to "This Tribal Antidote" and the "Hosannas"'s title song are atrocious (then again, so are the lyrics to "Tabazan," when Big Paul was around) even though musically those are some of my fave songs by them, incl. Tabazan. I just pretend like I am not hearing the lyrics on those ones.

My 2 cents,

--Oliver
