[kj] new cd

[GREG SLAWSON]

"World Hell" reminds me of side to of Black Flag's "My War" album, w/o the emotion--i.e. so bad it's funny.

I always loved Democracy since the day it was released.
This past weekend I played it while slouching for hours on the couch, at top volume, and I couldn't grasp why so many here seem to dislike it. It has all the essential stuff we want in a any KJ release, it has awesome riffs, it has some pretty effective tribal drumming (perhaps the last KJ album to sport it), the lyrics are almost spot on and I even like it's mix.
I get that many might've been put off by the acoustic guitar, but me, I like it quite a lot... I guess we have to be permissive with artists trying new stuff, we are not forced to like it, but at least respect it.
There are some excellent songs in there, Aeon, Savage Freedom, Pilgrimage, Medicine Wheel... and I love Lanterns too. And even Another Bloody Election ain't that bad... it's far better than, say, Dregs. :P
I guess, for reasons other than just the music, Democracy is the KJ album that marked me the most, for the moment I was going through in life when it was released and a bunch of crap like that... I really love it, rate it among their best and, as Marc said, I like it better and better the older I get.

So, I decided to put Democracy on in the car this morning . . I probably haven’t listened to it in two years 
 
It really isn’t a bad album is it . . . a lot better than I remembered
