Album Review: Killing Joke - Pylon

"It's fair to say this is a joke that's not ready to be finished."

More Killing Joke More Killing Joke

Thundering on through a massive third career wind, three albums in riding the original line-up once more, it's fair to say this is a joke that's not ready to be finished.

However on Pylon, the ferocious eco-anger that stoked 2010's Absolute Dissent and 2012's MMXII appears to be coasting somewhat. Jaz Coleman's ghostly howl and Geordie Walker's pneumatic guitars trundle along dutifully but only a couple of Youth's narcotic electronic injections (great on Autonomous Zone) give their 15th album any uniqueness from the recent riches.
