not many better punk albums
It gets a ton of credit, and is literally considered a classic.
You don't see threads about it on /mu/ because neither Grimes nor Kanye West appears on it.

It's a staple of post-punk and goth rock and has influenced bands like Godflesh, Swans and countless others, its status as a "classic" is pretty set in stone
I like the fact that Killing Joke influenced Ministry and they started copying Ministry

I think the reason people don't talk about Killing Joke is because while they had a cool sound, it was so influential that now they don't sound as revolutionary as they once were. They essentially laid out the formula for industrial rock/metal, sludge metal, crust punk, noise rock, even some black metal. I honestly think I heard Godflesh, Melvins, The Jesus Lizard, Big Black, Amebix, Celtic Frost, Napalm Death, Ministry, and Rammstein before I ever heard Killing Joke, which means I'd been listening to the Killing Joke formula for years before I even knew about them. Because of this they didn't sound particularly heavy or apocalyptic to me, they just sounded cool. Ever since their reunion in 2004 they've taken steps to update their sound for today's musical landscape, and they've done a really good job. They've made a lot of great music even recently. But because they completely informed so many people, even their new stuff sort of sounds like slightly gothic alt-metal.

One of the most solid discographies I can think of
