Killing Joke is my all-time favorite band. Jaz Coleman is fabulous, he opens people's eyes on realities of this world. KJ's songs are more relevant now that it was at the time !

As I loose my job as a disability worker after 16 years I play this song very loudly … I’ve played this song since I was 16 I’m 49 Killing joke please fucking deliver us a new album These times are trying And yes I’ve fucking lost everything My wife family house possessions soon to go Back to my birth rite Money is not my fucking god

[@gr3y_eminence]

You are not alone my friend. The 15th of March 2020 was the beginning of a new reality for me here in New York, I left the city, which has bought time. The last three Killing Joke records: Absolute Dissent, MMXII (maybe MMXXII haha) and Pylon definitely are in my rotation. Jaz did a song "The Day the Earth Went Mad" under his own name with a video last year.

[@arnaudbleu]

I am like most of you, a strong Killing Joke fan. I discovered this band in 1982 and their music is like crutches for me. One broke last sunday.... "Extremities, Dirts,..." album has strong and pure lyrics. It sounds a bit like the idea showed on Gang of Four first album sleeve (a cow-bay shaking an indian hands then telling "Now, the Indian is fooled" ") or Keziah Jones lyrics on track "The Wisdom Behind the Smile (Cash)".

[@plyuha8425]

I get to know about so much good music from people saying that it was "ripped of by Nirvana".Thanks Nirvana!

[@quietlifevinyl7300]

Nirvana!? Kurt cobain was squeezing Teenage zits when Jazz Coleman and Co made their debut album which was for the year ( 1977)Punk was everyone's trend, kids wearing in fashion "Clash, Sex P, Buzzcock" badges, yet couldn't name one track more than maybe "London calling, God STQ, Ever fallen in love n so on,, Killing joke were NEVER punk, they were post apocalyptic Metal, Punk, New wave rolled into one fat Bifff, still imo one of the best bands of the 20th century.... Check every album out , thier roots may sound different, yet still very much "A way of life"

[@satyrosphilbrucato9140]

To be fair, Outside the Gate IS bloody awful. But this record is magnificent.

[@voss451]

It's funny I've never heard that one. I always thought it was "Brighter Than 1,000 Suns" that was their last one before taking a bit of a hiatus and coming back with a vengeance with "Extremeties..." and "Pandemonium" after that.

[@101Volts]

Money is only useful when it is used (saving it for a good time is OK), hoarding it to no purpose is equivalent to burying perishable food expecting it to be near as valuable later. It NEEDS to be active to be useful. I'm not saying to throw it away, I'm not saying to waste it.

[@avpr1574]

Nobody needs a trillon $ or a trillion $ spent on a war. Obscene.

Killing Joke started going a little soft and commercial on us on the two albums before this album. So when this album came out it hit hard and was a breath of fresh air for longtime Killing Joke fans.

I LIKE SO MUCH THE FANGORIA'S VERSION "EL DINERO NO ES NUESTRO DIOS".

[@101Volts]

Here's my suggestion to you: Don't let money decide your life just because it's "fruitful", there's such a thing as the daily grind which is *not fun.* I had a nightmare with dozens upon dozens of people of many ages on the sides of the road, in daily grind machines and all were sleeping while being ground to nothing. ARE YOU RECEIVING ME? I wasn't in the machines, it was like that Star Trek episode with legal (and expected to be used) suicide booths on the sides. They were all used until Kirk and crew blew up the computer.

[@Jabberwok28]

Are you receiving me, like XTC asked back in ‘78.

[@Bobklijn]

The really painful truth is realising this corporate shit without being able to change it..capitalism is everywhere and one has to be very tough to refrain from possession. For instance; I cannot listen to this song without either a HIFI set or a smartphone or a computer. Nor am I able to watch it on YT without advertisements; you'll have to pay extra for NOT seeing ads..I will not do that. Setting fire to paper money is actually a thing i'd rather do with great pleasure and conviction!!😎👍
