[kj] good news on IE

[Brendan Quinn]

This Savage Freedom IMO is one of the best songs KJ has ever done, I
wouldn't put this in the same stratosphere...good vibe to it and all but...

 

Anyway it's all opinion, one thing we know is there's people coming at
Killing Joke from all sorts of angles on the list. Which is fine, because
there's TWO VILLAGES. Those with inferior opinions will be sequestered
snugly on Village Two. You can play your fuzzy b sides to your heart's
content. Just make sure you wash yourselves from time to time.

  Exactly! Thank you both for articulating what I couldn't put into words,
for some reason. Cheers. To me, hearing 'INXLsis' is kinda like first
hearing "Savage Freedom" after I had massively pigged out on the
"Pandemonium" and "Extremities Dirt And..." cds and all the heavy stuff on
"Laugh? INBO," I liked Svg.Frdm. despite it being different and maybe
because it was a different tone and attitude for the band.

I agree w/Oliver. While it may not be the most complex, symphonic, deep, or
80s throwback track ever made, it is a nice catchy (and simple, which I
don't mind) song. People seem to either be overanalyzing the
production/sound/song structure, or whining that it doesn't sound exactly
like on of their 80s albums.

True, dat. 

There's like 70% bitching and moaning and quibbling over every single new
thing they crank out (remember the Geordie demos?) and yet -- damn, it's 31
or 32 years later -- we are lucky they are still cranking stuff out. And,
like I said, I actually like a lot of this stuff. "In Excelsis" just threw
me for a loop. But, again, after 4 listens, even that has kinda grown on me!
