Killing Joke - What's This For?
I remember 
hearing 'Requiem' on college radio, and it really combined all of my 
favourite things - it had synths on it, really heavy distorted guitars, 
tribal drums, this crazy jazz drummer and punk rock vocals. The first 
album is great, but What's This For is one of those rare albums 
where the second is actually better. I remember when it came out I went 
to the record store the week of release, though I couldn't afford to buy
 it, and looking at the cover and how beautiful it was. It was this 
collage, with these psychedelic, apocalyptic colours, and the title is 
one of those great titles where it meant nothing but it was captivating.
 What are they asking, I don't understand. Standing in the record store,
 holding this piece of vinyl, hoping that one day I'd be able to buy 
it... when I finally got it home, the sound quality was even better than
 the first album, and it just had this sinewy darkness to it that was 
really amazing. Everything about them from the basslines to the drumming
 to the way they approach guitar and lyrics... it was the first time I'd
 ever heard really heavy distorted guitar that the way they were mixed 
they didn't dominate the music, the fit perfectly within the framework 
of the song.
