I'm all for it, but didn't he do that with 2003? I remember he showed me some of his original plans for that album, and it was heartbreaking to see what might have --- or, excuse me, SHOULD have -- been.
I know Jaz is all fired up about it, but how does the rest of the band feel about it, I wonder. I know BPF takes a very keen interest in the visual presentation of the band -- what does he think of the crucifix-tower-telephone-pole-thingy?

I would liked to have heard the guitar and drums being a bit more adventurous in places to be perfectly honest but it "works" as a whole.There is no track I dislike at all. Some aren't as strong as others but they're all solid.
But

I really do dislike the artwork. I don't think it serves the album well at all.It comes across to me as someone who doesn't understand Killing Joke doing some art that they "think" is Killing Joke. Rather like the Gathering XXV album.It's like "I know, I'll be confrontational and do something sacrilageous. Let's stick some transmitters on a cross. yeah!"And you have to look hard to see it's Killing Joke. It has that small, farty type face that says killing joke rather than KILLING JOKE.

Colesy always knew.
That's the point.

Let's have him make something for the Gathering.Reject the new album artwork!
That's Absolute Dissent!
Waddya think??
