The latest Killing Joke magnum opus is a fairly problematic thing to write about. The reason is quite simple: this album is very obviously and deliberately made for fans only. Therefore, if you are already a fan, you should do yourself a favor, buy this album and start worshipping it. At the same time, this really isn't an album that I would recommend for anyone to start their Killing Joke adventure with.

This album is just incredible-every track begs to take away your breath and then blows it back into your face with Coleman's harshly spitting vocals. The title track and 'Walking with Gods' show how visceral the band can actually get.

I've been really into this album recently... I must have not given it the correct appreciation when I first heard it...

I have much appreciation for what they were going for in the 90's. In this release, all previous components of past genre sound come together to make what is their most complete release. Down to the art also, which is no joke.

First thought this was a drum machine contrary to the last album with Grohl. Guys rocking a half-dolphin/ pterosaur look like it's a (sadly) unused Jurassic Park side-project.

They're playing at Royal Albert Hall this weekend. First two albums in entirety. Might go...

I may not have the largest collection but I certainly have the absolute best
