Surprisingly, mostly the slower, more low key tracks. Pole Shift, On All Hallow's Eve and of the faster tracks, Colony Collapse and Rapture. That said, In Cytheria is by far my favorite track, I really can't get that tune outta my head. I think 2010's Absolute Dissent is an overall stronger album especially because it has a more guitar-driven, brutally direct feel to most of the songs which are my usual breads and butters, but this one is really good on it's own merits, it's just a different vibe and has a more self reflective side than the typical Killing Joke album.mockbee wrote:I can't really pick a favorite track....

What are your favorites TB?
If I have any complaints, it's Geordie's trademark guitar sound is mostly obscured on this album and the production is somewhat amateurish especially concerning Jaz's vox often drowned in a sea of echo and reverb overkill.
Watching the YouTube clips of the recent UK shows, most of the new songs haven't yet translated well live due to tentativeness on the band's part and Jaz's vox not quite up to task. I was a bit alarmed they quickly dropped "In Cytheria" after only a couple shows and that's their lead single. I really hope they tour the US again this Summer, they're really the only band atm I fervently want to see although Jaz has claimed (again) he doesn't want to tour the United States ever again. I'm just thrilled these guys are putting out quality music at an apparently a more prolific pace than any time in their history as they plan on recording *another* new album this Winter for 2013.
BTW, there's two "bonus"tracks not on the album out there. One's the B-side to the physical single called "Penny Drops" (not out yet) and the other here is "New Uprising" already found on YouTube which is an iTunes bonus download.
(I expect the singer from Rammstein to chime in at the beginning)
