> It's Killing Joke back to different again.

> Nice to hear it softer & poppier, less metal & Jaz singing.

> Very much reminds me of Night Time era Killing Joke. Great modern production, but with a live feel too.

> I wonder - as with the last album - the nods to previous song/albums are deliberate.

> Broad appeal.

> Best ever album? The back catalogue is so varied it's impossible to say there is one

> It's different & fresh sounding & to my mind is certainly a very strong contender.

> Pole shift - Like the verses, not too fussed on the double time bits. I hated the album version of Beautiful Dead for that very reason - the flexi was much better.

> Fema Camp - Quite like this, though not blown away

> Rapture - Its's OK, but i get bored of it. Are there samples from Pssyche in there?

> Colony Collapse - awesome - great bounce & rhythm and DIFFERENT

> Corporate Elect - Jaw dropping & a massive hook. In similar vein to Another Bloody Election - love it

> In Cythera - I think this is one of the best songs they've every done & (I don't say this lightly) is worthy of awards.

> Primobile - Really, really like this. Got a bit of a BTATS vibe to it.

> Glitch - OK, same climb as Intravenous, keyboards hark back to Rubicon but fuck me, this kicks. Some really great riffage.

> Trance - Intro is very firedances, chorus IS Pssyche - but again, it's sounds/feels so different form everything of late.

> On Alls Hallows Eve - really reminds me of something & I can't place what. Killing Jokes Albatross??!
