[kj] [kHz] (no subject) Hypothetical question

[sade1]

> ..HEROICALLY flawed......


I'm not "getting" the 'HEROICALLY' part of that. It was a (self-proclaimed, no 
less) self-indulgent, self-defeating, self-imploding, band-exploding, 
divisive(of the band) work, ultimately abandoned by the band itself. [I know it 
was mostly a solo gig, but the band was to play in it, whatever that all 
meant....]  I really don't see the heroism (or even as creatively-evolving) in 
it at all. Really seems like Jaz just went too far and all paid the price. 


That said *big smiley-face here* if that's what was the catalyst/kick-in-the-ass 
that inspired the self-correction aka "Extremities, D&VRE" then I say do it 
again, let's have another one. *holds nose and buys that 'other one'*

Nope. Without question, HOSANNAS = the worst Killing Joke album ever (and that 
includes Courtauld Talks as well).  OTG may be HEROICALLY flawed, but at least 
there were some fleshed-out ideas on it (however misdirected).

HOSANNAS is bereft of song.
