For some reason, I was under the impression from the killing joke website etc that this was a new album and they would be touring soon. Opps for me! This is repackaged stuff. Don't get me wrong I am a HUGE Fan and buy loads of there albums and whish to see them live more times then I have, but when I put this in my car I really thought my CD player broke, or I had a bad pressing. The quality is BAD, come on guys, SONAR and some coffee could make the hiss and flat sound go away. I love all these songs, but have better versions from else ware. Just be warned, it's great to have to complete your collection, but not all that good. BUMMER!

I only downloaded "The Hum," but it sounds like it's coming out of a garbage disposal. I love this band and have a lot of their records, most of which are totally awesome--buy any one of them but this one. Even completists should beware.

I've seen the Killing Joke twice. I even picked the band up at the hotel they were staying at to play at a club I used to frequent often.(the percs being friends with the booking agent and the band). This could have been a GREAT CD. The CD suffers from poorly recorded sound. The tracks they picked for this album are all good. My question is: Why would you make a great album with subpar sound? If you don't mind the poor sound quality then pick this CD up.
