Fun!<\/p>\n<p>This Killing Joke record is probably in my all-time top five. I can&#8217;t begin to describe how unique and just plain excting it is. They influenced way more bands than most people know. Metallica had the class to cover their song &#8220;The Wait&#8221; from this album. They have even been successfully plagerized. A lot has been written about how Nirvana stole the riff from a later Killing Joke song, &#8220;Eighties&#8221;, for their hit &#8220;Come As You Are.&#8221; Keyboards and heavy riffs together and it works beyond belief. Faith No More should&#8217;ve followed this example.<\/p>\n<p>I highly recommend this <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Killing_Joke\">article about Killing Joke<\/a> at Wikipedia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: Killing Joke Title: Killing Joke Year: 1980 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
