I think it was Hosannas from the Basements of Hell by Killing Joke, because I'm rediscovering their awesomeness.

Went to Wal-Mart earlier and picked up Akon-Freedom and Metallica-Death Magnetic. :band:

They are indeed awesome, one of my favorite bands in fact, but I have to say I've had a hard time getting into that album.

Enjoying it so far. Classical with some tribal elements thrown in.

Why's that? Is it the production or just the song writing in general?

I saw this comment on youtube for the title song, and the guy basically said: "Another Killing Joke album ruined by the production. No more recording in caverns with crappy equipment, guys." And I laughed a bit, but recording in caverns and stuff is one of the many reasons Killing Joke are so awesome.

The best description of their new music I've ever seen is, "It sounds like the earth vomiting." It's also kinda cool how people their age are raging just as hard, or harder, as they did when they were younger.

I'm not really sure what it is about the album that I'm having trouble getting into. You might be right, it could be the production. It's definitely a lot thinner sounding than the last few albums.

It could also just be a natural step in my getting into the album, it wouldn't be the first time it took me a while to get into one their albums. It took me a really long time to get into Democracy, for example, and now it's one of my favorite albums by them.

I havent got a new album in ages.....
lets see what i got here.

So right now I'm downloading all 3 maudlin of the Well albums. Heard 'em, and loved 'em, all before but since I lost everything on my computer I need to get my music back.

Excellent band and one of my faves.
