Album Notes & Community Reviews
Killing Joke deepened their menacing, mechanical aggression on their sophomore album, an impossibly dense blend of industrial noise and post-punk paranoia. 'What's THIS For...!' is propelled by Paul Ferguson's pounding tribal rhythms and Geordie Walker's incredibly dissonant, metallic guitar textures, offering a wildly manic, fiercely cold, and deeply anxious listening experience.
