[kj] Kali Yuga similar to Mass ?

[Neil Perry]

Well my package was finally waiting for me when I returned from a weekend
away, and
I have to add to the Kali Yuga love-in. It's got that lightness of touch
welded to a driving
beat that I thought we'd never hear again on a KJ song - in spirit it
reminds me of Chop Chop,
Pssyche, AYR? (and musically yes Mass). Brilliant stuff and getting better
with every listen.
Likewise Ghosts - a return to the innovation of that first EP (sort of) -
who'd have thought it?

In contrast, the huge lumbering fart of Endgame is frigging awful. Hated it
when I first
heard it and hate it more now... the arse-end of the lazy chug chug grunt
growl sound they've sometimes
fallen into over the past few years. Weirdly, try imagining this being sung
by Liam Gallagher
instead of Jaz and it fits, especially the chorus. Shudder. I pray the LP is
more Kali Yuga
and a lot less Endgame. And In Excelsis is, er, sort of a big nothing, but
meanders along
pleasantly enough. Still, 2 out of 4 ain't bad.
