4.0 excellentFirstStrikeIsDeadly | September 20th 23

This is a damn good, maybe even great album severely underrated because it's called "Killing Joke" despite not being very heavy. Or maybe people just don't like the layered, busy synths. But I really appreciate what Jaz Coleman was trying to do here. The first two songs are SOOOO good.

3.5 greatfran tall ear | October 22nd 21

messy synth rock magnum opus thing. Jaz's songwriting amps up like crazy but because the music now has stuff like credible transitions and variation it sounds fairly unlike Killing Joke. really inventive but with less power than usual - the mastering's bombastic on the synths and the guitars kinda fuck off (along with half the band members) and a lot of the lyrics are gigabrain stuff which can sometimes sound like pagan construction of a personal belief system and sometimes sound uh libertarian
