[kj] I'M GETTING SICK OF YOU SO-CALLED GATHERERS..you know who you are!!!

[gingoblin at easynet.co.uk]

Well, it's not completely unknown to just not "get" an album, then one play 
changes everything and it becomes great! Didn't really think it was gonna 
happen... but y'know, I'm worried I might not be a true Killing Joke fan, 
since I don't blindly say I love everything they do.
Used to be like that with the Damned, when I was, er, 16 bleedin' years old.

Anyway, I'll get in the van without a struggle this time.
