Customer Reviews of This Album/CD |

Best NZ rock album Submitted on: 2005-06-30 |

This album has to be the best thing in rock to come from NZ's shores. In a list of the best NZ albums of all time it comes in second only to Split Enz.
Killjoy has wickedly innovative music and a genuine sense of emotion and power all the way through.
Hardly derivative rock, it's rythms range from 3/4 to 4/4 to 5/4 yet are as moshable as anything from the nu-metal era.
2 Tracks stand out for me 'You again' and 'Bitter'. You again opens the album with one of the biggest rock riffs ever heard and bitter is a salt-in-the-wound ball of distortion and blazing rhythms. And just wait till you hear them live.
Deb's night out was also released as a single which shows their quiter side and some of the electronics they incorporate sparingly into their albums.
The album finishes with lead man Jon Toogood screaming the line "Get Up!!" over ear-bleeding distortion. And god you do.
10 years on this is still a MUST HAVE album. The boys still play tracks from this album live and the fans go nuts.
If you feel your missing something in your record collection, then it's most probably this album!

Go & buy this album RIGHT NOW !!!! Submitted on: 2004-12-23 |

| This is quite possibly one of my favourite albums of all time, nothing sounds like KILLJOY. Shihad have really changed their sound & direction with every release, this was ahead of their time as was their first album Churn I feel. The songs here are full of sincerity & depth. I am not a huge fan of what they have produced from the last 9 years but was blown away by this album the very most from Shihad. Go buy it, then Churn you won't be dissapointed.... : ) |

Buy this CD and be happy Submitted on: 2004-08-27 |

| This is one of the best CDs I own! It has good music and meaningful lyrics, a rare combo these days. They manage to express their dismay about the current world situation and their personal issues intelligently rather than just 'I'm young and pissed, just because.' Not to scare away anyone who just wants a good rock CD, because it is definitely that too. You can always get lost in the guitar without getting caught up in anything too political. I like this CD far better than Shihad's subsequent releases (not that I don't enjoy those as well) it just feels raw and unpolished, something that cannot be said about General Electric, ect. Buy it, buy it now! |
