Review

"Night Time" is a high point in Killing Joke's discography, marking a shift towards a more balanced sound without losing their signature edge. Released in 1985, this fifth studio album was produced by Chris Kimsey and recorded at Hansa Tonstudio in West Berlin. The band's evolution is evident in songs like "Love Like Blood" and "Eighties", which showcase their ability to blend aggressive and calmer tracks. This balance is a key aspect of "Night Time", making it a compelling listen. With its unique blend of post-punk and gothic rock, the album has had a lasting impact on the music scene.

The album's influence can be seen in later bands, with Nirvana incorporating elements of "Eighties" into their hit song "Come as You Are". "Love Like Blood" became an international hit, charting in several countries, and demonstrating the band's ability to craft accessible songs without losing their intensity. "Night Time" remains a pivotal work in Killing Joke's career, showcasing their versatility and influence in the post-punk genre. The album's enduring legacy is a testament to the band's innovative spirit and their ability to create music that still resonates with listeners today. With "Night Time", Killing Joke cemented their place as a key band in the post-punk movement, and their music continues to inspire new generations of fans. - Dylan
