Killing Joke - European Super State

It’s called ‘Absolute Dissent’ now.

So wait, what the hell was the use in releasing the ‘In Excelsis’ EP now, other than to give 1/4 of the album away? In a recent interview Jaz said there are still 5-6 songs left over (including “Feast of Fools” & “Timewave”…sorry dude!) that “will be released on different editions”, and yet “Kali Yuga” is the only track from the EP NOT on the album? How fucking dumb are record labels getting anymore??

Oh well, for all those who hated the above track, here’s “Fresh Fever”…a bit more to everyone’s liking I’m sure:

Cool drums…I like this one.

24

Sounds pretty good. I haven’t really minded any of the newer stuff so far. Endgame grew on me after a couple listens. The EP is pretty good. Can’t wait to hear more of the new stuff.

25

Also, Ghost of Landbroke Grove dub.

26

Kali Yuga is the only song from the Ep not on the album? Kali Yuga was the best song on that release.

Fresh Fever sounds like a standard, roughneck KJ song. They need more Kali Yuga’s than anything else.

27

Also, Ghost of Landbroke Grove dub.

What about it?

A shame it wasn’t included on the vinyl EP.

28

It’s on the e.p. but not the album.

29

What, ‘Ghost of Ladbroke Grove’? It’s the last track on the album apparently. Like I said, they gave away 1/4 of their new album ahead of time, while having no less than 6 other b-sides available to make it a worthwhile purchase which will now instead either become lost or doled out 1 by 1 on “special editions” and fucking i-Tunes bonus tracks. It’s pathetic.

That being said, can’t wait for the album :slight_smile:

No, the dub remix.

[reply]I like it. sorta old school.

Old school?

Sounds like generic trance techno with a typical Jaz Coleman lesson in pseudo socio-political gobbledygook thrown in for good measure.

How this even Killing Joke exactly? Well maybe the pretentious ‘let’s make an epic political statement’ lyrics are Killing Joke.

I thought these guys were innovators and leaders - they’re fucking stuck in 1992.

Everything they do these days is musically SO dull and derivative.[/reply]

I refuse to deal with anyone with a baboon for an avatar.

Or thinks that racism is somehow funny. Especially on a Ministry forum, considering Al’s half-Cuban, they had a black keyboardist for years, and racists are dumb twats.

Regardless -

  • album has been delayed (AGAIN) until October 19th.

Bloody Killing Joke.

HAHAHAHAHA!!!

These guys are so friggin slack ass!!

They’re playing Edinburgh on Oct 15th so I’m sure they’ll be selling the album at the merch stand then.

36

Is it coming out on 13th Planet or something?

37

I’ve actually seen the albums at best buy, so probably not…

38

Had a chance to listen to a little over half the new album last night.

Sad to say, it’s very dull, drab and underwhelming.

The died-in-the-wool longtime fans will say it’s great regardless…but I get the feeling there’s going to more than a few unhappy campers on the prongs boards in the weeks/months to come.

It’s a real let down guys.

39

Unhappy campers on the Prongs boards?
Oh noes! Not complaints from the most cynical, bitchy people on Earth!

Album leaked. I think you’ll all be pleasantly surprised.

Alot more like “Kali Yuga”. The Paul Raven tribute is a beautiful track, and all cleaned up, “European Super State” sounds a lot more punk-disco & a lot less EBM.

41

Listening to it now. I’m neither pleased nor disappointed. Lots of gruff shouting about the current state of politics etc. Lots of anthemic choruses and chugging, repetitive riffs. There’s a hint of techno and a little dub and…little else.

I do like the first and last tracks though. And the song about Raven.
