[kj] MMXII first listen

[Marcel]

Thanks for the links and the nice way of pointing out that there might 
be one. "Anyone feeling ambitious can check Bunalti, Torrentzap, 
Bitsnoop etc. and let us know what they find." hehehe.
Not to worry, although I haven't preordered it yet, I'll buy the 
Single(s), Vinyl and CD - and shall do so quite happily. I  like the 
gloomy EDVREish atmosphere of "Pole Shift", "Fema Camp" and "Corporate 
Elect". "Trance" is the only one, that hasn't had any effect on me so 
far and "Colony Collapse" and Glitch would be other favs.
I'm very fond of the different atmos The Joke create on every single 
album - I think they really _rock_ in a dark way on MMXII - but I'll 
have to admit that I'm a bit dissapointed by a certain sloppiness 
songwriting-wise. That one part of "Glitch" is very similar to 
"Majestic" AND "Intravenous", isn't it? And "Corporate Elect" isn't 
really something entirely different from "MINOG". I like them 
nevertheless...
Isn't it funny, how of all bands the Joke  seem to have no difficulty in 
writing erm touching songs on a regular basis, that once would have been 
filed under the gruesome term "ballad"? :-)
