Night Time is the fifth studio album by Killing Joke, released in 1985. It was an international hit, featuring some of their best-known tracks like "Night Time", "Eighties", the riff of which is believed to have been lifted for the Nirvana song "Come as You Are" (Dave Grohl paid a sort of restitution by drumming on the 2003 album Killing Joke), "Love Like Blood", and "Kings and Queens".
