[kj] Extremities

[ketracelwhite at hotmail.com]

Here here!  Totally agree.  Isn't there a demo where they don't go into the completely unnecessary thrash double-time part in the middle?

Yeah I know its a lazy phrase... I'm listening to Extremities now and I chiefly meant 
the fast section slapped into the middle of Beautiful Dead for absolutely no reason that ruins what would
have been a fantastic song, the horrible mess that is Struggle and sections of the title track.

But Geordie's guitar sounds fucking incredible - was this the last time that sound we all
know and love was in evidence on a KJ record?

Sorry Jel, no more analysis, promise

  "bad thrash metal stuff on Extremities"


  This has been levelled at Extremeties in the past and to be honest I cant see it? May be as I don't listen to a lot of thrash metal.

  Following Jon's footy analogy, it's 4-2 to Extremeties for me with a Geordie hat-trick.

    Well I think both albums are games of two halves, Alan

    Always hated the bad thrash metal stuff on Extremities but some of the guitar
    work still stands as some of Geordie's finest - and Termite Mound is always in
    my KJ top ten. Except that Termite Mound was very unrepresentative of the
    whole LP - wish it was more like this. I just don't think KJ do fast very well,
    and are far more menacing when they slow it down

    Where as Pandemonium had some filler, agreed, but the good stuff was
    great - and I include Communion, the title track, Black Moon and the original mixes of
    Millennium and Mathematics (cheating I know, but...)

    And I like Jana.

    It goes to penalties, and Pandemonium wins.

      Pandemonium was ruined for the poor version of Mathematics,the shite that is Jana,Pleasures of The Flesh and i've grown to hate Communion.
       
      Extremities wasn't ruined.
       
       
       
      Extremities wins on the away goals rule.

      Extremities may be a better album--certainly more original, and no real weak songs--but Pandemonium is better to just sit there and rock out to!

      Quite right.




      Looks likes its boys one side of the room and girls the other then!




      So that's it, if you prefer Pandemonium to Extremities, you are a girl. Period.

        PANDEMONIUM has more filler than EXTREMITIES.

          I don’t mind it but Pandy pisses all over it. Ade agrees with me.

      I never really liked Extremities.
      Too thrashy. I give Termite Mound and North of the Border a blast
      now and again.

      I'll get me coat

      except Hosannas isn't as terrible as OTG... I actually like it a lot.

        Been a while since I gave this a listen and was blown away by just how good this one really is. 



        I remember the sense of anticipation when this one came out after the way that OTG was perceived. 



        This ticked all the boxes at the time. 







        Kind of feel the same about the new one!
