Oct 22, 2015Pylon is sweet 16 for these 50-somethings, and honestly, it couldn't be sweeter; Killing Joke are still promoting the driving dynamics of post-punk, and still doing it better than the rest.
-
Oct 22, 2015There’s much to enjoy about Pylon, not least on the punitive, jet-black musical side of things.
-
Oct 22, 2015The musicality on Pylon remains suitably elastic.
-
UncutOct 22, 2015Pylon sees Killing Joke maintain the late-career renaissance precipitated by the original lineup reuniting for 2010's Absolute Dissent. [Nov 2015, p.77]

Nov 6, 2015Pylon is propulsive, girder-heavy and demands to be played loud. But like the best of their oeuvre, from early single Requiem to last album MMXII, it features chord progressions of intense melodic beauty like glimmers of the divine shining through the depths of hell.
-
Nov 17, 2015As minacious and filled with foreboding as Pylon is, it is also melodic, catchy, and downright fun.
-
Oct 26, 2015The finished product is still strong and consistent, to be sure, but with the lack of variety, Pylon is likely to be remembered as an album that just kept a constant rhythm for 56 minutes.
