i can't believe all the fuss there is over this one.it isn't all that different to the previous 2 albums-melodic pop with an edge,as for jaz saying about singing in tune he sang in tune on nightime and even more in tune on btats!!!!apart from the song "america"which is way too commercial for me all the rest are cracking tunes with excellent rythyms and not as poppy as people will tell you-it's just good music.it wouldn't do if all their albums were the same anyway.i can listen to any of their albums and see it for what it is-stop labelling bands!

There has always been much argument amongst KJ fans as to whether this should have been a KJ album at all or a Jaz/Geordie side-project. I couldn't care less really. I just think it's a great album, though I don't think it's ever really been received that well. I've been a Killing Joke fan since 1981 and I don't think they've ever done anything as moving or beautiful as some of the songs on Outside The Gate (except for Exile and Goodbye To The Village from BTATS). My Love Of This Land, Tiahuanaco and the title track Outside The Gate (now there's a powerful song) complete with it's plaintive piano/acoustic guitar outro, are just sublime. This re-mastered release doesn't really add much to the original release except for the previously unreleased Mayday which has gone down as one of my favourite KJ tracks. The one downpoint to this release is that it doesn't have Stay One Jump Ahead: Extended Mix on it. It's a shame that this album caused KJ to split and cause so much bitterness. But KJ wouldn't be KJ without such tensions. Ignore at your peril!

A very strange album, and not immediatley accesible, but after several listens I've decided I do like this album. It's aged very well, it's quite atmospheric and sticks in your head for quite a long time afterwards. The only song I'm not keen on is The Calling which is a bizarre rant of a song with little melody to it. Not in the same league as Night Time or Brighter Than 1000 Suns, but a very inventive album and hugely underrated.

A logical progression, but an unsatisfying result
Apart from the occasional flourish by guitarist Geordie, this was more of a Jaz Coleman solo album than a Killing Joke one. Read more

For (very) devoted fans only!
The closest thing to a turkey that KJ have ever produced, I would only recommend this as the last album in the collection, worse than the rather uneven effort Democracy. Read more

Be afraid...
As a long-time Joke fan, I feel the need to write a note of caution.

Heed The Calling
My favourite KJ era is the 80s. Night Time, Brighter Than 1000 Suns and Outside The Gate have the right balance of melody, clever arrangements and underlying KJ earthiness. Read more

Forgotten & unfairly maligned classic
There is much dislike for this album. Joke fans will know that it was meant to be either a Jaz Coleman solo album or Coleman/Walker album but the record company insisted on it... Read more

Not that bad at all!
Yeh, why not?! A complete contrast to the early 80s output, but still satisfying. The bonus tracks make this release even more worthwhile. Read more

Don't bother!
This isn't Killing Joke. It is Jaz Coleman indulging his symphonic tendencies but with terrible synths. Geordie's guitar is poorly produced and the songs are weak. Read more

A classic album
We are all different, but I consider my music taste to be pretty good, and like a lot of decent music from Rock to classical. Read more

Enough with Commonplaces
I'm so tired in continuing to hear "Outside The Gate" is the worst Killing Joke album I'm beginning to believe it myself. Read more
