Recently got their debut album, I really like it. What other albums by them should I check out next?

everything but if you want to check out a more recent outing Hosannas from the Basements of Hell is god damn perfection.

Great band! The mid 80s material is my favorite stuff by them but the early albums are great too, I should listen to more of the recent output.

Early albums, Night Time, Democracy and s/t (2003) would be my picks.

At their best quite possibly the best band in the world, should you keep Motörhead above all charting. Recent works (Hosannas..., Absolute Dissent) are every bit as relevant as early stuff.

I thought Hosannas blew except for the title track.

I read a recent interview with Amebix and they get really pissed that the interviewer compares them to Killing Joke all the time.

Killing Joke is great, the whole discography.

Yeah I see some connections too, I also listen to both bands in the same dystopian mood.

Probably nobody will be surprised to hear me say I have the whole discography and love them dearly. My favourites are the first S/T, What's THIS for? and Fire Dances. unfortunately never seen them live though.

The amount of bands that they influenced is absolutely phenomenal, and they have ALWAYS stuck to their guns as far as the underlying themes of the music, even on their more poppy albums.

One of my favourite bands ever. Their comeback streak has been phenomenal too, Absolute Dissent is a total masterwork.

I find the sound of the vinyl version of "Absolute Dissent" really weird, very muddled and unbalanced. Any dissenting opinions from Killing Joke -listeners on this forum? Other than that, I have the whole discography and enjoy the 80's stuff the most. Their keyboard sound is great, very distinctive to the eighties.

Fire Dances would be it for me, absolute insanity on every level.
