They should be able to produce something better than Hosannas, at least, but i, like Mr Potanga and Newman, think things may have 'imploded' for them.
 
I thought this thread was about Discharge for a second ;)

But the main thing that they proved - to me - was that the first 6 or 7 years of the Joke are far superior to anything that's come since.  (I'd suggest that this has a lot to do with Big Paul.)  But......Do Killing Joke still have the ability to compose an album that will sound like nothing they've done before, and yet still sound distinctively Joke?  Will I be excited to the point of obsession as the release date approaches?  Will Jaz tell us that it's the best thing they've ever done?Clue: you can only answer "yes" to one of those questions <grin>Jamie-----Original Message-----From: fatpotanga <fatpotanga at gmail.com>To: A list about all things Killing Joke (the band!) <gathering at misera.net>Sent: Mon, 8 Dec 2008 9:44Subject: [kj] OT: Oldclay
<snip>I wonder whether Killing Joke (stop laughing) had similarly gone stellar (stop laughing) would most of us have lost interest? If I am honest, my interest in KJ has plummeted quite considerably of late. With recent efforts there's been far too much 'same ole same ole' and for me that 'spark' that made them 'the most exciting thing I had ever heard in my life' seems to have been long extinguished (probably in cheap wine) I hope it comes back but I doubt it will.  There's been little talk of this supposed new album which makes me wonder whether that's really going to happen? Any news anyone? If it does I really hope they come up with something different - they are in a position to do something unique. if not it'll very probably be the final nail in the coffin for me. <snip>
