Night Time

Product Information

At gunpoint I'd pick 'Night Time,' 'Love Like Blood' or the most infamous song to be ripped off by Nirvana 'Eighties,' although 'Kings and Queens' and 'Europe' are extremely close. Can't believe I never tried them being into that era of indie, and having heard of them, bit thinking they were a minor band. They had done some solid work previously, but they were simply striving for different sounds than i drift toward. The album finds the band caught between their earlier aggression and a calmer, more immediately accessible approach.

That is not to say the album entirely sucks - despite the shift away from their metal/punk leanings, the new modern pop-influenced sound occasionally works.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”. 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. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. In retrospective reviews, PopMatters opined that the band "perfected" their "balance between antagonism and accessibility", commenting "the band are simply on fire on this record". 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.It might be Killing Joke’s, but it’s not at all far removed from what you might expect by that description. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Killing Joke argueably hit their commercial peak with Night Time, an album that contains a lot of the dissonant sounds of their earlier works but also a much more accessible style of songwriting.

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.

Songs like “Eighties” and “Love Like Blood” put these guys into the mainstream, if only for a short while. 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"). and it would be even more definitive if it weren’t on the same album as the deserving classic “Love Like Blood”.

As always with these guys, the main interest here lies within the soundscapes - OMG they are insane on here.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.
