1. Killing Joke's early albums are their most interesting, as they seemed to inhabit a realm all by themselves. It wasn't quite post-punk, wasn't quite metal, but it was always interesting. Many of the songs may sound the same on the first listen, but soon you find "The Fall of Because", "Tension", "Butcher" and "Follow the Leaders" all have their.

2. The debut album by post-punk band Killing Joke is a sonic assault on the senses, but to fully grasp the extent of this, one must look at the timeline of its release.

3. Killing Joke is the only punk rock'n'roll band that I have listened to on a regular basis, since the early 's. I have listened to each of their first five albums many dozens of times. Killing Joke continues to be on my regular listening agenda, even 40 years after I saw them perform at a nightclub in Madison, Wisconsin called, Merlyn's/5(52).

7. reviews that described this album as hailing 'a new brutalism' in music were perhaps a reaction to the dominance of the tribal drumming and hypnotic rhythm patterns that had never had such full expression in the post-punk scene of the time. again killing joke delivered a unique music and sound that would influence musicians for years afterwards.

8. Aug 17,  · Regarding the first, S/T lp: Despite this being Killing Joke's finest hour for music, the sound quality on the original vinyl left something to be desired, and the EG vinyl reissue (UK) was not much of an improvement, IIRC.
