[kj] Hosannas.....sneak peak

[Javier Garcia]

Hope as everyone here that the mp3 was just a rough-mix version, otherwise it would be very hard to enjoy at 100%, it's a rough mass of sound, pretty distorted. 
Implosion it's pretty nice, really like it, although it could fit KJ 2003 very good, that's what i don't like very much about it. It hasn't the re-inventing/innonvative landmark that Killing Joke usually shows in every album. Don't missunderstand me, I did love KJ 2003 and if the new album follows that line it's ok to me. But to be honest I would prefer a new sound instead of following the previous line. 
'Implant' was a very exciting song as a sneek preview of KJ 2003 because the sound was unique, very surprising; 'Implosion' isn't that surprising and innovative in the KJ parameters. 
Still the Joke still sounds very distinctive and far to be similar to anybody else but themselves.

Looking forward the new album
