The 1983 Listening Post - Killing Joke - Fire Dances

Killing Joke - Fire Dances

Killing Joke
Fire Dances
3.5 out of 5
Highlights:
The Gathering
Rejuvenation
Forget the earlier stuff, Fire Dances is where it really clicks in for Killing Joke. If Adam Ant had any sense of menace (and disdain for attention) + deep artistic integrity…well, I probably wouldn’t love him. And he would’ve sounded like Killing Joke.
If Swans didn’t take themselves so aggressively seriously, they might be Killing Joke.
If Yeast Infection had any musical sensibility, they might’ve been Killing Joke
Thankfully, none of those things happened and Killing Joke is Killing Joke.
