This is Killing Joke's second LP. If not quite as remarkable as the band's gripping self-titled debut,
"What's THIS For...!" showed that Killing Joke could maintain their
frenetic, doom-wracked intensity while experimenting with their already
strongly established style.
Jaz Coleman's vocals go through even more
treatments and tweaks than before, chorus shout-alongs swathed in deep
echoes, hidden behind Geordie Walker's punishing riffs and the
steroid-driven rhythm section. Big Paul Ferguson in particular lays down
some absolutely skull-crushing drum slams and Youth is no less intense
at most parts, and often they rather than Coleman or Geordie dictate the
song, as the lengthy death-groove of "Madness" makes perfectly clear (from Allmusic).
Aggresive, chaotic and dark, this is a sonic dystopia, one of the best LPs Killing Joke ever created.

Any chance of a re-up?
