[kj] whetting the appetite :o)

[Darren A. Peace]

I love Honour The Fire. It sounds like Mew.

 

The only track I didn't immediately love was Depthcharge, as I thought it
another Asteroid. By the third listen, though, I picked up on the WTF
vocals, and now think there's not a weak track on the album.

 

I'm honestly beginning to think it's the best thing they've ever done, and
can't express how delighted I am that my enthusiasm for KJ is based on their
present rather than their past glories. On occasion, my loyalty to the band
has been strained by their bloody-minded unreliability. I've not felt this
way since I first heard ED&VRE.

 

This album validates everything I have stubbornly held to be true about
Killing Joke.

 

Also, The Raven King's bass blew a car speaker.

Though others have suggested Honour The Fire to be a filler, it has slabs of
KJ gorgeousity in there, so highly regarded in my world. 
 
Not sure whether I'm supposed to share this with you, but I got an email
from a trusted source yesterday, who'd been on the blower to Big Paul, and
the rumour was that they'd play the entire new album at The Fleece. That's
probably the kiss of death now ... the messenger will likely get shot, at
least by verbal volleys ... but it probably gives Jon the horn :o)

Subject: [kj] My "old" impressions of the new album

Here are below my humble impressions that I wrote end of march 2010 after
the pre-listening of the coming album.

Reading all your comments, I would say that I was quite right in the target
!

 

Stephane " Frenchy Frenzy"

 

 

 

"It's very difficult to describe music but I would I was completely and
happily surprised with the quality of sound and Jaz's voice who really sing
on this album (and shouts too like on Endgame)

My fav ones are 

Absolut Dissent with the incredible rhythm and break including the extra
basslines and flow of the drums

Raven King for the melody

European Superstate : certainly a major hit in clubs if it's released as a
single : completely different of what they have done before : Disco/Grace
Jones and The Sparks meet Killing Joke : some will hate and some will adore
(i hope so ;o)) THE catchy tune of all the tracks

Here Comes The Singularity : terrific, powerful, melodic and extra guitar
riffs: a speedy one"
