  I have every intention of picking up GRINDERMAN, but after my abject lack of success with Plastichead, I don't think I'll be purchasing ANYTHING through the mail ever again.
  

  Welcome back, Malc!
  

  And I respectfully disagree with you re: the `Joke's last two albums. As far as I'm concerned, KJ2003 takes a giant shit all over HOSANNAS from a towering, great, brown splattery height.
  

  I'd bore you with further opinions on same, but for the sake of the rest of the Gathering who've heard me blather on about it, I'll spare you. Suffice to say, I think HOSANNAS is far and away their worst effort ever.
  

  Bring on the next one, that's what I say.

  Cheers mate,
   
  Knowing what the list used to be like im probably going over old ground here but i think i left before Killing Joke 2003 came out so id just like to offer my opinions on both albums if no one minds! :-)
   
  KJ2003 i can honestly say was a bit of a let down, half of it i really like, in fact i still think The Death and Ressurection Show is a fantastic track and would be seriously up there with my all time fav tracks. Implant as well is a great track and Blood on your hands, the major issue for me though i think is the drumming, whilst Dave Grohl is a good drummer hes not really KJ standard and i think some tracks suffer coz of this IMO.
   
  Hosanna's on the other hand is a f**king great album, it sounds like KJ as opposed to KJ trying to fit in with nu-metal as KJ2003 comes across to me. Ok Jaz seems to have lost his vocal range and ends up sounding a bit like Lemmy at times, but its still a great record. One of the things i like about it is that they have that tribal feeling back in the music again which they had lost for a while, probably due to Benny's drummming which is awesome Its just a pity when i saw them at Rock City last year that they didnt include many songs of the album in the set.
   
  As far as the re-issues went i thought the remastered sound was good on all of them although im a bit of a sucker for remasters as im allready buying new editions of the Cure and Siouxsie as well soon im going to have everything in triplicate at this rate :-).
   
  Anyone going to buy the Nick Cave Grinderman album tomorow?
   
  Cheers,
  Malc
