[kj] America

Well, I know I've read many reviews of Hosannas and some of the criticisms leveled against it. Some I believe are valid, but I can't imagine OTG as better than Hosannas. If nothing else Hosannas is another commitment to the energy and vitality of Killing Joke. As odd as it may sound when I hear the first line of "Lift up your spirits," my spirits actually do rise. Granted their are songs like Walking with the Gods and Judas goat which don't do it for me, but I haven't had a Killing Joke album that I've enjoyed from start to finish since Extremities and since Night Time before that. 

I can't say the say for the opening lines of OTG "You better listen to me!" My love of this land and stay one jump ahead have good guitar parts, but beyond that I can't really see the virtue in OTG.

At least OTG had fully fleshed-out SONGS (however dubiously executed) on it, and not just glorified jam sessions.

Serious about Geordie looking Miami Vice?
Serious about the Bass Player?
Serious about OTG being the last album where Jaz pronounced Armageddon?

or finally laying down the gauntlet of truth and saying what everyones thinking but too scarred to acknowledge????

OTG IS BETTER THAN HOSANNAS!

Im watching the vid for America. Laughing myself silly. Geordie looks like he's hanging out w/ Crockett and Tubbs. Bass Player is getting FUN- KAY!!! 

I guess this was the last gasp of Jaz predicting Nuclear doom. Maybe one of the Pandemonium vids had some nuclear jams in it, cant recall. 

Still, as bad as that album was its still better than Hosannas!
