[kj] Killing Joke 2003 or Hosannas from the Basements of hell

That lemming over cliff thing is entirely made up.

   I still hear the anger, the indignation, that post-cerebral-mutation
spark of choice&conscience** rooted in their earliest days, but i think - as
*I* hear the 

music- it meets resistance as it is channeled thru the methods, production, 

musical styles, etc. such as electricity encounters unintentional resistance


as it travels up any given cable. 

 

   I think this is due to Jaz being overly involved in the direction of the
recording. 

Might even parallel his own battles with 

bipolar disorder (and this is all guesswork): 

   just as he wants to express a genuine bit of himself but not have it come
out 

so "pure" and instead "PC's" [polit.crrctness.] it just enough for a given
audience's 

palatability, so do i think he may (knowingly or no) also have done sowith
the 

post-ExDAVRE(post-'90) cds.

 

 

**like the lemming that mutates conscious thought 

  just as all the other lemmings are leaping off the cliff 

  and said lemming thinks, "Hey wtf?!"  =:~o  and runs the other way.

Abso-fuckin-lutely. The anger comes out in the music & that's the thing
that's missing with every release after Extremities - where's the rage gone?
Well, of course everyone wants to be happier in life, so I'm asking for
something I can't have - Jaz is older, happier/contented & not coming out of
a nervous breakdown - let's sing about daisies instead !

  Here, here, great reincarnation/resurrection/comeback album for the band. 

It is as non-pretentiously full-on Killing Joke as they could be. A great
cd.

This is it - I don't think it deserves such a dissing at all, just needs to
be fucking heard properly!

 

Still, my fave KJ album, Extremeties doesn't get much praise on this list &
it's one of my all time

greatest albums EVER.

I just wish Hosannas had been produced properly is all.


Hi Ade,

 

I second that! 

 

For me, Hosannas has some great tunes (Judas Goat, Implosion, Tribal
Antidote, Majestic, etc..)

I wish we could hear it on a diferent mixing and prodution!

but If I had to choose between the two, I�ll go for 2003! altought
there�s some weak moments on it!
