NIGHT TIME/VINYLE NOIR AUDIOPHILE 180GR

Description

And five for the band of Jaz Coleman, Geordie, Paul Raven, and Paul Ferguson, who deliver with Night Time a new album that is somewhat less aggressive than its predecessors, featuring more mainstream tracks like "Love Like Blood," a single closer to Duran Duran than to the self-titled debut album of The Joke That Kills. Europe continues in this heroic and melodic vein with a polished production, credited, like the rest of the album, to Chris Kimsey (Rolling Stones, The Cult, Psychedelic Furs). But the standout track of Night Time remains Eighties, with its huge riff that was "adapted" by Nirvana in Come As You Are, leading to a plagiarism lawsuit. Eighteen years later, Dave Grohl, former Nirvana member, founder of Foo Fighters, and huge fan of Killing Joke, will play drums, at his insistence, on the entire Killing Joke album released in 2003. Highlights: Love Like Blood, Eighties.
