| | Killing Joke: For Beginners - PopMatters Music Review |
 | | Emerging from the same post punk era that yielded such crucial bands as Wire, Bauhaus, and The Cure, Killing Joke didn't possess the razor-sharp wit of Colin Newman, the theatrics of Peter Murphy, or the melancholy of Robert Smith; instead, the quartet's music was vicious, feral almost. |
 | | Still, to this day, Killing Joke remain rather underrated, loved dearly by fans and fellow musicians, but still unknown to many casual listeners. |
 | | After all, there are so many good Killing Joke songs, that it'd be difficult to put together a mix that would warrant the adjective "terrible". |
