[kj] Poll: Worst song off OTG

[Rheinhold Squeegee]

I can actually allow myself to enjoy "My Love of This Land," provided I don't remind myself it's KJ at the time. 

Because it isn't. This never should have been released as a KJ album. Slap Jaz's name over it and it's just another lead singer solo indulgence with brief glimpses of merit.

The recent singles collection comes to a screeching halt with "America." What a capper to their career that would have been. Thank the gods there was ever the opportunity for a Disc 2.

I fell for this a few years back now... played for the first time in
many many moons... and it was just as fucking awful as I remembered it!
Not making that mistake again! I see it all as part of their cunning
plan to make the return to form a few years later even more incredible!

  at the risk of being buried up to my neck and
stoned, I quite like most of OTG. 
  
  Yes, it’s all a bit cheesy and naffly produced,
but the actual musical structures and lyrics are great. It’s just not
been very well done. 
  
  
  It has dated horribly though.
  
  
  
  Unto the Ends I absolutely love, especially the
lyrics and progressions are fantastic. 
  
  
  It’s a shame it was never what it was intended
to be; a Jaz Coleman solo album as a lot of the ideas are pretty solid.
Like I said, it’s just been badly executed. 
  
  
  
  I’d love to hear a lot of OTG reworked, but
it’ll never happen.
  
  
  Still, without OTG, EDAVRE to where they are now
would never have happened.
  
  
   
  
  
  For me by far the worst track off it is on the
CD version: Stay One Jump Ahead extended mix with Jaz’s embarrassing
dad rapping.
  
  
  Quite possibly the worst Killing Joke song EVER
produced.
  
  
  Ironically, the opening guitar riff is one of
Geordies best.
  
  
   
  
  
  For me Democracy is the most disappointing/least
played.

    sounds like Sting and Peter Gabriel
having a wank in a biscuit tin.
