Javi, listen to the melody/sound. It's not bad. At least it has a hook/melody, unlike a lot of songs (e.g. the new Devo single "Fresh" which has good production but weak song structure...

A mix between vacations and too much World Cup left me away from The Gathering for almost two weeks, now i found this new tune and i´m speechless. I´ve only listened to it once but i don´t think this song will like me a lot more in the future. It´s like a joke (but not The Joke!). My first impression is it´s like a cheering Mad Capsule Markets tune (you remember? this japanese band that is/was influenced by KJ and even mad a nice cover of Wardance). If you´d tell me this is a side project -or something like that- it should be ok, but not to be a proper Killing Joke track. 

My two pesos

the guitar seems to be getting lost in overdubs...they're forgetting about the space between...

Wow, people are really down on poor old Geordie. Correct me if I 'm wrong, but hasn't he pretty much been the master of heavy, dense, 4/4 downstroke guitar for the past 30 years (with the exception of some pop crap on BTATS and OTG)? I thought we liked that kind of guitar sound...

The bad: 



What? Why can’t kj learn that less is more, space is more important than yet another track of guitar buzz saturating and obscuring what came before it. The guitar has no body, no power, no point of existing. Why have Geordie play if what he creates sounds like a kid who just learned IV chords at a guitar center on a POD. 



1234 1234 downstrokes for a groove…fucking lazy rudimentary and not interesting or inspiring…for robot dancers only. 



On the positive side: 



The voice sounds better then the past couple albums at least jaz isn’t trying to sound like a old warty toad possessed by a B movie villain. 



Youth doesn’t sound like he has in the mid 90’s
