[kj] Tribal Freedom

[Neil Perry]

An old friend of mine who saw KJ with me in 1982 and who
has hardly listened to them since thinks Hosannas is amazing 
(I made them listen to it). She knew instantly it was Killing Joke.

(And you're thinking, so... what...)

Thing is, I just don't get it; I don't understand why some
gatherers think Hosannas is so bad. I'm listening to a
career-spanning CD I made right now and the Hosannas
tracks sit perfectly, mixed up with everything else. Nothing to make
you think, Ooh, this must have been their shit period.
Judas Goat? Stunning. Invocation, Majestic (which has a
*very* Firedances-y section in it), Lightbringer, Walking With Gods -
fantastic stuff. Dripping with the essence of Killing Joke. 
Implosion would have sat comfortably on Extremities. Like
I say, I Just. Don't. Get. It. I hope for your sakes it isn't their last.

Every band starts to suck eventually. Unless they call it quits first. It's hard to come to terms with the eventual suckitude but, darnitall, it's the right thing to do.

You mean to like Korn or like Christina Aguilera standards?

Hosannas was great. One of the Top 10 LPs of 2006, in any event.
