Killing Joke - "Pylon"
Another great Killing Joke album. They really haven't put a foot wrong since reforming. One of the few bands who just keeps getting better and better.

Re: Killing Joke - "Pylon"
Kind of a weird band for me. I've followed them for most of their career, and I love about a third of their songs, I'm neutral about a third, and I dislike about a third.
I've seen them twice in the last 10 years, and I liked the first show a lot better, just because it was a setlist I was really into.
I get a little tired of Jaz's ridiculous conspiracy/illuminati theories, but they are a cool and very unique-sounding band when everything clicks. I liked the last album quite a bit. I'll check out the new one when I get a chance.

Re: Killing Joke - "Pylon"
Okay, I do like this one a lot:

I basically like Killing Joke when they're fast and melodic, and Jaz sings instead of growls---basically when they kind of sound like a post-punk band. I'm not really into heavy industrial or metal, so when they sound more like that, it's not really my thing.

Here's another. Don't think Ky-Fi will like this one too much.

Re: Killing Joke - "Pylon"
^ Actually, being a 9/11 Truther is one of Jaz's more boring, mainstream conspiracy theories.
I don't hate it, but yeah, "Euphoria" is more to my liking.

Re: Killing Joke - "Pylon"
Here's another. Really liking this one as well---hearkening back to Brighter than a Thousand Suns, IMO.
