| RANKED: KILLING JOKE
Been a favourite band for quite a long time. Just been listening to them lots again lately, they have such a solid discog. RIP Geordie. | | 1 |  | Killing Joke
Killing Joke
The classic. So influential and still so good. | | 2 |  | Killing Joke
MMXII
A personal fave. Massive sounding album, atmospheric and aggressive. A bit top heavy but the highs are high and there are many. | | 3 |  | Killing Joke
Killing Joke (2003)
So much energy captured on this album. Goes hard. | | 4 |  | Killing Joke
Democracy
Really memorable, emotional and anthemic album. | | 5 |  | Killing Joke
Extremities, Dirt & Various Repressed Emotions
Tied with ^^^. Maybe their most dissonant album. Great heavy riffs on Age of Greed and borderline blast beats on Extremities. | | 6 |  | Killing Joke
Brighter Than a Thousand Suns
They slay at doing synthpop/New Wave type shit. Pure vibes. | | 7 |  | Killing Joke
Night Time
Same as ^^, but a lil more post-punk. Last four albums are all super close, just depends on the day. | | 8 |  | Killing Joke
Absolute Dissent
Heavy/apocalyptic album. Love this era of Industrial/Metal/Post-Punk fusion. Chorus on the first track is immense. | | 9 |  | Killing Joke
Hosannas From The Basements Of Hell
Same vein as ^^^ and MMXII. End of the world anthems. | | 10 |  | Killing Joke
What's THIS For...!
Post-Punk banger. Just don't jam it that often anymore. | | 11 |  | Killing Joke
Pylon
A great and mildly underrated album. Like a more melodic finale to the trilogy of albums before it. | | 12 |  | Killing Joke
Pandemonium
Their 90s Industrial Rock album. Still good, I could never really get that into it, even tho I keep trying. | | 13 |  | Killing Joke
Fire Dances
The rest of these albums all have some good stuff, but I find them to be their weakest and don't jam them v often. Lots of great riffs/playing by Geordie on this album tho. | | 14 |  | Killing Joke
Revelations
Some cool stuff on here, but a bit of a slog to get through | | 15 |  | Killing Joke
Outside The Gate
It's alright, some nice vocals/synths/guitars but weird vibes/approach and kind of dated sounding. I think I could like it more, but have never completed a full album playthrough. | |

12.06.25 | Suuuuch a great band. The fact that they have 11 albums that I think are great and really worth listening to, is crazy. Let me know how wack my ranking is. | gabba
12.06.25 | Cool list! I haven’t heard most of it, but I love 1 and 10 so much! Will def check 2, and probably many more. | XyphDryne
12.06.25 | Made a list as well some time ago. It looks different, but in some regards very similar. Especially 13+14 are at the buttom of my list as well. Though Outside the gate I find to be very underrated. It is so funky. But great to see that you also dig their later works. Completely agree.Cheers. | Colliiiin
12.06.25 | I was listening to Outisde the Gate earlier and enjoying it, think I just need to jam it some more
Checked out your list, I'd say our's are pretty diff aha. Makes sense considering the quality of their albums. The debut so low is crazy tho. | insomniac15
12.06.25 | Top 5 for me are MMXII, Hosannas, Pandemonium, 2003 self titled and Pylon. Night Time is also amazing | gabba
12.06.25 | @Coliiiin, will do! 7 I also dig quite a bit, so I guess the others will resonate with me as well. Time to discover this band properly. | XyphDryne
12.07.25 | Yeah, we surely can agree that except some early 80s albums there is hardly a dud to be found in their discography. Also, their albums are (in packages) very different from one another. Based on your prefs, the list has to be different. Just shows the constant high quality of their output. Hope, we get one album more. | Sharenge
12.07.25 | 13 14 and 15 are all really good and their last three releases (2, 8, 11) are probably bottom three for me (they each still have some songs I love though)
Revelations was bottom-tier for me at one point, but has since grown on me considerably
Justin Broadrick named Fire Dances as his top choice in an interview at one point | Sharenge
12.07.25 | I think Outside the Gate is criminally underrated (universally so, it would seem, except by me) | Sharenge
12.07.25 | o and mega-alert don't miss out on their debut EP Turn to Red (sometimes "Almost Red") and the Wardance / Pssyche single they are actually essential but easily missed/overlooked in the discog | NeroCorleone
12.07.25 | 10 is 1 | pizzamachine
12.07.25 | Time for another Killing Joke discography run | Colliiiin
12.07.25 | @Xyph Ye for sure mate, I love the diversity of their sound/discog. I am doubtful there will be another one, seeing as they're lacking a foundational member now. Who knows tho, I would def still check it out if they did
@Sharenge I'll have to give Fire Dances more of a chance. I actually go into KJ through Godflesh when I was teen. Always thought KJ's debut was like non-metal Godflesh.
