After the release of 1988's Nothing's Shocking, Jane's Addiction were riding high on a wave of critical acclaim as well as rising fan base from the underground. While they courted controversy over the album's cover as well as the video for the ...
Pros: No bad songs, Three Days and the rockers Jane's were famous for Cons: uh, only 9 songs? some songs feel dragged out
Despite the fact it is the album that really made a name for Jane’s Addiction in the early 1990s, Ritual de lo Habitual was actually the album I went into least prepared with regards to the group’s 3 studio records. Everyone I knew loved ...
Influential. Overrated. These are the two truths about Jane's Addiction. Spin has been leading the charge casting Jane's Addiction in the most sacred of lights, what with that hagiography a few months back breathlessly considering Jane's Addiction ...
Pros: Easily one of the greatest hard rock albums ever Cons: There is nothing even remotely bad about this album
I discovered recently Rolling Stone's review of this album, way back in 1990. It was not only bad, it was simply unfair. In hindsight, though, I think the problem was mostly that they sounded so different from everyone else at the time, the ...
Pros: Timeless, Classic Alt-Rock Cons: not to everyones liking, not enough songs
Jane's Addiction were formed from the ashes of (Singer) Perry Farrell's previous outfit Psi-Com, the band never acheived much sucess but managed to find a small yet devoted following playing a circuit of LA clubs and opening for The Cult in there LA...
Pros: Vibrant west coast music from a very eccentric junky. Great rock album. Cons: Perry is insane (+or-)
I was first introduced to Jane's Addiction by way of the Natural Born Killers soundtrack. The remix of Ted Just Admit It sent me scrounging for Jane's material, first through Nothing's Shocking then to Ritual. Ritual De Lo Habitual is nothing if not...
Pros: Classic alterna-punk-metal Cons: Too short, last album of band's career
Jane's Addiction was both punk and hard rock all rolled up into one odd package. The band rocked it's way through the 1980's and fertilized the seed that was to become alternative and grunge music in the 1990's.
Pros: A sprawling classic, the first great commercially successful alternative record Cons: The songs don't flow together that well
Perry Farrell: rock visionary or eccentric lunatic? The enigmatic frontman is quite probably both, but on the evidence of this, Jane’s Addiction’s second album (and undoubtedly the jewel in Farrell’s musical crown), “Ritual De Lo Habitual”, the former...
Pros: possibly the best album of our time Cons: they broke up shortly following release; original album cover banned
this is quite possibly the best overall album i have ever heard.
there is so much variety of artistic content on this CD.
perry farrell is the musical voice of this generation and everything he says and stands for is everything this generation...
Pros: They haven't produced a better album. Cons: They still haven't produced a better album.
Like a huge swarm of groovy locusts, here comes Jane's Addiction, and they're hungry for kicks. If there was ever a best album to play truant to, this is it. Singer Perry Farrell comes across like a cheeky schoolboy with a bag of mind-altering...
Pros: Catchy; Appealing; Easy to relate to; Plays a variety of hard/soft Cons: Eccentric; Some songs repeat themselves a bit too long.
This album was at the center of controversy during yet another wave of "ban rock music" campaigns, this one spearheaded by Tipper Gore. As a result, it is available in two versions. The first has the cover you see here on this site: a sculpted,...
Pros: Classic Punk album, a trendsetter. Cons: Too few tracks
I feel, by the release of this album, Jane's Addiction had gotten a better feel on where they wanted to go musically. It had more direction and solidness than "Nothing's Shocking", and it showed. Besides the popular "Been Caught...
Pros: Funky numbers, nice poetry Cons: Too much CD-age filler
Signs of fatigue start to appear in a few dud, meandering numbers. Still, an impressive rollercoaster ride. The crunching "Stop!" gives way to a beautiful bridge half way thru, only to surrender itself again to Dave Navarro's insistent guitar....
