Re: Killing Joke tour & new album
Played the new album twice and..... I should be very careful what I say, coz I could say best thing ever by the Joke but not fair at this satge. Every song sounds classic, wasn't so keen on Trance and only that one on these initial listens and this is by no means a review, but fucking hell, they've done it again, easily as good as Absolute Dissent, it's a very varied and atmospheric album, early faves are Corporate Elect and On All Hallows Eve, but need more time to digest it, kind of overwhelmed, haven't even read the lyrics but the bits I digested where fantastic
Re: Killing Joke tour & new album
Yeah another joke classic. Two great albums released in a month, Giants and now this.... Happy days indeed... Life in the old dogs and all that

But it's a far better thing I do than I have done before
Re: Killing Joke tour & new album
Fabulous album, slightly(in places) less heavy than AD and Jaz actually does sing at times, not a duff track and for me as a whole it's better than AD, already Corporate Elect and Glitch are KJ classics.
An album to be played very loud.

Re: Killing Joke tour & new album
I thought AD was a great album, but for me this is even better. This is a stonkingly good album.
Ok it has revisited a couple of ideas before.
Corporate Elect uses some of 'Money is not our God'.
Glitch, to my ears is a cross between,Majestic(off Hosannas) and Kings and Queens.
The bassline from Pssyche turns up in Trance.
There's no dud on this at all, it's got tons of energy and it's nice to hear the keyboards up in the mix.
Favourites at the moment are Pole Shift and Colony Collapse but it will be something else tomorrow.
Gizz is spot on ,needs to be played loud.

Re: Killing Joke tour & new album
It's a great album.
Some real nice surprises in there.
Maybe a bit growly vocally but compensated by some of that Geordie chime being back!
Corporate Elect, In Cythera and Primobile are current faves!
