Así que deberían tener más cuidado al enviar los productos, ya que uno está pagando por ellos y lo menos que esperamos , es que lleguen en perfectas condiciones. Mind you, you have to like the distinctive vocals, guitar and rhythms of this niche indy band though. As always with these guys, the main interest here lies within the soundscapes - OMG they are insane on here. That is not to say the album entirely sucks - despite the shift away from their metal/punk leanings, the new modern pop-influenced sound occasionally works. By adding a little polish to their violent industrial post-punk racket, Killing Joke briefly became very popular in 1985, with “Love Like Blood” competing with the likes of Duran Duran and Madonna on the airwaves.

It was an international hit, reaching number 11 in the United Kingdom in its first week on 9 March, [1] number 8 in New Zealand [2] and number 50 in Sweden. Like almost any ‘80s pop (and KJ) album, the song structures on here are pretty basic, and you certainly shouldn’t come in expecting anything subversive on that front.They had done some solid work previously, but they were simply striving for different sounds than i drift toward. It's odd because, well, other than the softer side to Coleman's voice (when he's not using his gravelly growl), none of the music here seems forced. Yeah, songs like "Tabazan" get a little obscene, but dirty as they may seem, there's an arcane truth to all that's said on _Night Time_.

Those who aren't cool with synths coming up-front in the Killing Joke mix might not be into this album, as might those who aren't into Jaz's off-beat philosophies and perspectives. I must also consider on their level “Tabazan”, but even the coldwave-leaning “Europe” might be my favourite track by pre-metal KJ. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.In retrospective reviews, PopMatters opined that the band "perfected" their "balance between antagonism and accessibility", commenting "the band are simply on fire on this record". True, the songs aren't asmassively guitar heavy a la 'Pandemonium' or 'Pylon,' or at least not heavy guitar, but still, there is a lot of and epic arpeggios to keep riff fiends happy, altough they sound more 80's U2 than chugging Metallica.
