While the early Joke albums are brilliant in their own way, it was with Night Time that they created their truly classic album. The harsh, riffing guitars are still there, as are the hypnotic rhythms from the bass and drums. But added to this are a new sophistication in the song writing, with increased emphasis on synths and melodic vocals. Although the follow up album was perhaps a bit too synth lead and the vocals a bit too conventional, here the band find a perfect balance between their earlier punkiness and a new found accessibility. The obvious stand out track is the hit single Love Like Blood, but almost every track could have been a single as they are all so strong. The remastered CD, with a good selection of session and non-album tracks makes this an essential buy even if you already own the original release.

A truly superb album by one of this countries best ever bands. Although released in the mid eighties it still stands the test of time. As fresh today as it was 20 odd years ago. Night Time

Not much to say really. This was, in my opinion, their best album. Virtually every track is a classic and the production is great too. The re-mastering has been done well and the sound quality is great, without losing the feel of the original album.
My only criticism, with both the original vinyl release and subsequent re-issues, is the muffled sound on the classic 'Eighties', compared to the crisp, clean mix of the 7" release which is so much more powerful. I hoped that this would be resolved with the re-mastered version but sadly it wasn't. Hopefully one day they'll re-master the 7" version of this (and the 7" cut of 'Love Like Blood') to complete the set of re-mastered classics.
Otherwise, I cannot fault the album - this is essential listening and a must-have for all fans of real music.

Not as raw as the earlier albums, but this is a band that never sold out to commercialism. The dominant, angry drum beats are still very much there, but without the real rough... Read more

As good as a new release....
As someone who had bought this album on CD first time round I have to say the most striking impression with this re-release is the re-mastered sound-and also reflect how poor the... Read more
