Killing Joke - MMXII

I think I first listened to this album after Pete stated it was going to be his favourite release of the year a while back. I hadn't heard of the band all that much but their name and cover art intrigued me, so I checked it out. At first I thought it was good, nothing special. But please remember, I was in my "Hip Hop only" phase at that time, so my brain was acting up... obviously. Since listening to it again several times I found a subtle beauty in the post-punk/industrial sounds, and - coupled with further exploration of those genres - I found myself falling in love. Not every track on here is stellar, but it sire does work as a whole. The middle of the album is my favourite, with the duo of Colony Collapse and Corporate Elect being my track picks.
