Product Information

It might be Killing Joke’s, but it’s not at all far removed from what you might expect by that description. It’s closer to The Cure than anything else, as though it were THE album they were meant to make but didn’t because they spent the mid ‘80s being quite, well, mid.

I must also consider on their level “Tabazan”, but even the coldwave-leaning “Europe” might be my favourite track by pre-metal KJ. Everyone likes this song, and the goth dance jam at the end of the album version is essential even though most fans of the song haven’t even heard it.The album tracks have all been remastered in 2007, and although the music definitely sounds like it was made in the 80's, as it was, it sounds great.

Yet between these two book ends there is some forgettable stuff, the nadir being the *awful* Tabazan, Coleman’s voice unbearably tuneless as he appears to take the piss out of Robert Smith over a generic “badass 80s” track.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. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. The tracks are noticeably shorter and more concise than other efforts as well, but definitely more rock than pop to my ears.

The song "Eighties" is claimed to have been copied by Nirvana for their 1991 song "Come As You Are", primarily because the riffs of both songs are so similar.

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_.And I know Love Like Blood is KJ’s biggest hit but it does very little for me - it’s well produced but there’s not much of a song there and Coleman keeps singing the hook as “I love my butt”. The album finds the band caught between their earlier aggression and a calmer, more immediately accessible approach. Night Time is the fifth studio album by English post-punk band Killing Joke, released in February 1985 by E. The first track i heard from this album was actually "Eighties", a song that did nothing for me then and nothing for me now. They had done some solid work previously, but they were simply striving for different sounds than i drift toward.

Yet, contrarily to what can be said of their utterly forgettable next two albums, Night Time was no sell-out. We need to start adressing that bands polishing their sound is not necessarily a bad thing, and this album may be the best proof of that. Heavy on the synths, _Night Time_ still manages to retain the dark, sometimes unnerving lyrics and sound that the previous Killing Joke albums delivered.When I first heard this album, the songs "Love Like Blood" and "Multitudes" were the initial ball-grabbers but after repeated listens, eventually I started diggin' the entire album. The album was remastered and reissued on CD in 2008 with nine bonus tracks, including 1984 Kid Jensen BBC radio sessions, the non-album single " A New Day" and the previously-unreleased complete version of "Blue Feather" (previously only available as an instrumental remix on the B-side to "Love Like Blood"). 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. As mentioned from other reviews each one of the albums' songs are great and it really is a matter of personal taste, they all loosely stick to the same sound. I did play a few songs from this album to my friend yesternight and she thought it was them, and I’m sure I would’ve needed a few minutes to realise myself if I hadn’t known what I was listening to in advance.
