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. Like almost any ‘80s pop (and KJ) album, the song structures on here are pretty basic, and you certainly shouldn’t come in expecting anything subversive on that front.

Ned Raggett of AllMusic remarked that "" Eighties" turned out to be the retrospectively most well-known song, due to a surprising and not always remembered example of Killing Joke's influence -- Nirvana, of all groups, thoroughly cloned the watery guitar line at the heart of the track for " Come as You Are"". Those who aren't cool with synths coming up-front in the Killing Joke mix might not be into this album, as might those who aren't into Jaz's off-beat philosophies and perspectives. The album tracks have all been remastered in 2007, and although the music definitely sounds like it was made in the 80's, as it was, it sounds great.

There is the original 8 tracks from the album, plus another album's worth (9) of bonus/extra tracks which are a mix of B-Sides, different mixes of the album's original tracks and plain left out songs so it's pretty big value for especially for KJ fans!In general, the album wastes powerhouse drummer Paul Ferguson who isn’t given a lot to do, and everything feels neutered. 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 opening title track is an excellent slab of club music for vampires with great programmed drums and guitar work, catchy and slick yet with a dash of nastiness that shows what the record should have been. It's odd because, well, other than the softer side to Coleman's voice (when he's not using his gravelly growl), none of the music here seems forced. Mind you, you have to like the distinctive vocals, guitar and rhythms of this niche indy band though.

The album finds the band caught between their earlier aggression and a calmer, more immediately accessible approach. All told, i prefer the goth-slanted Killing Joke, and this has as good a slant as any of their albums. However, the same Killing Joke riff could also have been inspired by The Damned's 1982 song "Life Goes On", whaddyaknow! Notice just how big the songs sound; although you could trace them back to work like “Pssyche”, this LP is where I feel like KJ’s future tendencies start to properly come to the fore, emphasising the grandiose edge of their sound in mesmerising fashion above anything else - except here it takes that approach within an extremely likeable poppy atmosphere instead of the harshness of metal, and they would go on to become perhaps the best band in all of that genre thanks to what they had already perfected here. They had done some solid work previously, but they were simply striving for different sounds than i drift toward.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.
