Killing Joke discography - rank your collection, best to worst

Posted by: Disposable hero on 08 April 2013

Hi has anybody collected every Killing Joke studio album ever released, or what ever proportion you have, are you able to rank it in most favourite to least favourite order?

Well, Turn To Red/Nervous System single blew my mind.

Way ahead of it's time and still wicked sounding tracks. 

 

And of course KJ debut LP with the Change single being sooo epic.

 

Good memories of my very early teens.

Hi Disposable Hero

This is a hard one. I got into them in the early 80's and love the output from that era but I also like the 90's output and now the more heavy stuff is taking up a lot of my playtime.

1) Whats this for.

2)Pandemonium

3)MMX11

4)Night time ( most commercial)

5)Brighter than a 1000 suns

6)Killing Joke

7)Absolute dissent

8Hossannas from the basement of hell

9) XXV Gathering

I also have down by the river ( twice on vinyl) and can't seem to get into it yet, but I keep trying.

I love K J and have followed them for a long time, seen them many times and have never been dissapointed, am now looking forward to hearing Jaz's classical stuff and reading his book " Letters from Cythera.

 

Regards

 

Donald

Hi chimp, thanks for the suggestions. I'd only thought of starting a KJ thread following a chance discovery of Pandemonium as part of a BOGOF offer a couple of weeks back. I' ve got the first 3 albums but didn't pay attention to their "industrial" rock/metal incarnation. Although its preferable to try and avoid having to use these genre label categories, it is an industrial genre pioneering album, which has led to shaping the sound of other bands such as Fear factory.
