[kj] killing joke rmxd

[Alexander Smith]

Ugh. Just listened to it. Probably haven't in at least six years. Far  
and away the lamest moment in Killing Joke recorded history -- and  
yes, I'll admit it -- truly worse than even the shittiest moment on  
HOSANNAS.

To your point, Peter, yes -- they are clearly attempting to mine the  
rhyme-interchange style as practiced by the Beasties (layering verse  
over exchanged verse). That said, it goes without saying that they  
certainly don't do it well -- surely not as well as the Beasties did/ 
do. But yes, I'd say in retrospect that you're correct. The style is  
indeed similar.
