"This album validates everything I have stubbornly held to be true about Killing Joke."
 
An opinion shared by many here I'm sure ... don't care if A Sixth Son/Sun/Sow whatever is the only new track on the ESS single ... times before we were happy with 7 remixes of Pandemonium etc on a single ... this album is fantastic and I may be spalshing out on various formats ... www.play.com have the deluxe 2XCD for a mere 11.99 GBP ... just £1 more than the album proper !

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”
