Really-From: Dr. Gonzo<kirsch@sjuvax.sju.edu> Someone was asking if the new Killing Joke was as bad as their two singles before it- well, I didn't hear the singles but I'm not impressed with the new album. It sounds kind of like generic English somber/melancholy music. (Like early Comsat Angels) My biggest complaint with it is that the guitar has no real edge like their early stuff and the vocals are being *sung* rather than the wonderful scream-singing that used to be present. It's not a horrible album in general but it's definitely not for early Killing Joke fans. _____________ -Paul Kirsch
