This is my favorite Killing Joke album. It’s a great fusion of the more mainstreamed, dancable Joke that would soon follow and the brutal tribalism of the first three records. In my top-ten greatest records of all time, if I were to maintain something like that.
Everything that was great about What’s THIS for…! has been condensed and refined on Revelations. One of my favorite CDs.
Brutal, pounding, post-punk genius. Post apocalyptic tribal beats that many fans consider their best. I prefer the two follow ups a bit more because these tunes just go on too long for my tastes.
First Killing Joke record is not their best, but has a few classics on it: “Wardance” and “Change.” They hadn’t quite settled in on their sound yet.
A live CD. Was noteworthy when it came out because of the unreleased songs, but those songs have since been released with better studio versions.
I like the cover of this one. This CD continues along the lines of Liar. The songs aren’t as memorable, but there are still a lot of great tracks here.
A short EP with a couple of good new tracks and 4 live tracks.
This autobiography was pretty uninformative. Reads more like a compilation of unrelated essays about with a little bit of anecdotal commentary added to personalize it. Not awful, but would have been better as an audio book read by Groucho himself.
Goat laid the ground rules for the Jesus Lizard’s sound and Liar solidified it into a formula. It’s a swell formula indeed, but after Liar, the JLs records start to blend into one and other. This is still a great CD.
Jesus Lizard’s finest record. Crazy bluesy licks on top of a pounding rhythm section and off-the-wall vocals. This could possibly be the best record of the 90s. Seriously.
