Pros: Some truly classic songs, great collaboration... Cons: A few strange, forgettable offerings...
In the 1980’s, rock bands and artists struggled (often in vain) to break out of the mold and attract a sizable audience. More often than not uncommon rockers were pushed aside or just altogether ignored. But there were a select few that bucked the ...
Following the release of the band's self-titled live debut album in 1987, Jane's Addiction was already an underground club sensation. Despite not getting as much attention as the glam-metal bands of that era in Los Angeles, Jane's Addiction were ...
Pros: Perry's voice is different, the songs have energy, the cover is fun to glance at. Cons: Lacks hooks, not all that revolutionary, Perry's voice wears me out. The lyrics are clownish.
Please don't read this review if you are a slavish follower of Jane's Addiction. You won't agree with what I'm about to say and will be tempted to retaliate, just because I dared to criticize your heroes. Spare yourself the frustration and check out my ...
Pros: Solid album,great musicianship,Mountain Song and Jane Says Cons: Thank You Boys,songs can drag on a bit,Perry's screeching
Jane’s Addiction are a band I only really got into quite recently, so I’m naturally pretty miffed that just the other week they decided to call it a day. Again. So I thought there would be no time better to have a look at their albums, starting off with ...
Pros: an interesting mix of hard rock psychedelia, southern California style Cons: Perry Farrell's pinched vocals and sometimes muddled lyrics
For some reason, I have always linked Jane’s Addiction’s Nothing’s Shocking with Appetite
for Destruction by Guns N' Roses. Though their musical styles weren’t entirely the same--Guns ...
Every time I listen to this album, it saddens me, not because of the tone of the music, but because of the fact that this group was struck down in their prime. I guess some would say that at least they went out on top of their music, if not necessarily...
Pros: Mind blowing poetic lyrics, the bizarre and yet trance inducing music. Cons: Perry Farrel is a total weirdo.
When I was a young lad of about eight I used to go over to my friend Fergus' house and we would listen to his brother's CDs when he wasn't home. One of his brother's favorite groups was Jane's Addiction, and we would listen to albums like Nothing's...
Pros: Very talented musicians, great blend of different genres into an eclectic sound Cons: Might be an acquired taste for those not familiar
Its true. Jane's Addiction arose from the glamourous hair metal dominated scene of Los Angeles in the mid-eighties, and went on to change the sound of modern rock as we know it. They were one of the first true "alternative" bands to break through the...
Pros: Tight as they come. Cons: A few long solos that might irritate some people
In the tradition of Led Zeppelin and many others, Jane's Addiction managed to take a couple of truly out-there minds and create a couple of albums that have stood the test of criticism.
Pros: Different; Catchy; Expressive; Cleanly-produced; Usually cheap to come by Cons: "Alternative" means different things to different people, so YMMV
Jane's Addiction went a long way in their time, and I don't think hardcore/punk is necessarily the right category for them. Then again, Alternative doesn't really fit, either, since at the time they emerged, Alternative meant...
In the late 80's, just before Alternative music hit the forefront and radio stations popped up all over the place, there was a band from Los Angeles that was breaking ground that had never been broken before.
Pros: Great Album, Lots of Thought put into arrangement Cons: Can get tired of it if listened to a couple times in a row
This album, on the whole, is not bad at all. Jane's Addiction has an uncanny ability to create albums that flow, as well as inspire many different types of emotions.
The album starts with the song titled, "Up the Beach". This...
Pros: great songs. you'll love them Cons: not everyone will like the rougher music
Jane's Addiction has been a "new discovery" for me. When i recently purchased this album i quickly jumped to the conclusion that this CD ROCKS! Its got everything i wanted. Its got your hardcore yelling of rhymes and riddles like "Had a...
Pros: Innovative, different sounds Cons: Not what I was looking for :)
To be honest, I heard "The Mountain Song" on a local alternative rock radio station, and swore up and down it was Judas Priest. I had heard Jane's Addiction before, and owned "Ritual De Lo Habitual", but they never sounded like this...
Pros: A must have for any alternative fan Cons: Still haven't gotten used to the cover art
My friend put three songs from this album on a mix tape for me back in 1989 and they were the first "alternative" songs I heard. Soon OceanSize, and Had a Dad were my favorite songs on the tape and I was hooked. While initially turned off by...
