Análisis (en inglés) - :
It's best to takes notes as lead singer {$Jaz Coleman} calmly reads a list of provisions ("Put on your masks/And animal skins") because {$Killing Joke}'s second self-titled album is about to take over. Moments after {$Coleman}'s stoic opening, {$Geordie Walker}'s guitar chugs into action and awakens {$Killing Joke}'s most threatening juggernaut of an album in years. Bass players {$Youth} and {$Paul Raven} are both back (although {$Youth}'s stint in the group looks to be temporary) and {$Dave Grohl} guests on drums, perhaps paying {$the Joke} back for adapting the killer riff of {&"Eighties"} for {$Nirvana}'s {&"Come as You Are."} {$Grohl}'s drumming is suitably intense and tribal when need be, while {$Andy Gill}'s production miraculously makes sense of the band's thunderous sludge. Still the {$Coleman}/{$Walker} partnership is the star of the show as they play off and push each other like a doom-and-gloom {$Jagger}/{$Richards}. It sounds like {$Coleman} is sitting in the dentist's chair with one of those little vacuums sucking out the words on {&"Total Invasion,"} while {$Walker} patiently waits his turn to blast out his own brand of stately mayhem. {&"Asteroid,"} {&"Blood on Your Hands,"} and {&"Loose Cannon"} are all highlights, with the band sounding as inspired as when they started, adding the advantage of years of interaction, and {&"You'll Never Get to Me"} presents a brand new shimmering and yearning angle to the group. While {$Killing Joke}'s discography has more than its fair share of awkward and overly ambitious albums, they've once again returned to the fury and focus of their classics. [This Japanese release includes bonus material.] ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide
