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.
