Free Music Notes for Jane's Addiction
Free Music Review: A Classic Album But Not A Masterpiece
Hit: 4 Stars
I discovered Jane's with their album Nothing's Shocking and it changed my life. I was a devout metalhead at that time and was a huge fan of Metallica( that was the glory days of Metallica). Jane's slowly but surely became my favorite band. I bought this album somtime around 1989 I believe. I love this album it is a really raw sounding record and it shows how powerful the band was at that time. The song that became my favorite and was the main reason I bought the album was the cover of Sympathy for the Devil. Jane's made that song seem very eerie more so than The Stones ever did. Jane's made me realize that music should make you experience the feelings and emotions in the songs. They turned me from a metalhead to an alternative fan for life. Maybe I am being too sentimental or just reacting like most people as they get older but I miss the way the bands were during the years of 1988 till about 1997. Music was fun to me then and I was always discovering new bands to listen to. I find myself going back to listen to my older cd's now and rediscovering all this great music now because I just don't see that many amazing new bands anymore.Free Music Review: Bringing back the medicine train...

Probably the most incisive thing ever said about Jane's was a comment my brother made, just after we got out of one of their early gigs. Something along the lines of (my paraphrasing):"You know, people make such a big deal about the hype, and the "new Led Zeppelin" thing that they forget the band just seems like four guys that want to play music."
Here's the proof. A no-frills, underproduced live album made up of some early "Nothing's Shocking" material, a few covers ("Sympathy For The Devil"; average--Lou Reed's "Rock&Roll"; quite good), and some all-around great pop tunes ("My Time", "I Would For You").
I'm not going to say I was there since the beginning; like most of us, I began with "Ritual..." and made my way back. And in this case, the search is worth the time spent on it. Disregard, however, the "Live 1986" album which is poorly recorded.
Free Music Review: Jane's Addiction teaches independance
Hit: 4 Stars
Its not everyday an album comes out where you listen to it and realize that listening to it was a learning experience. However with every Jane's Addiction album I have heard there is a recognizable lesson being conveyed. Unfortunately its never as simple. The purpose of Jane's Addiction is more than just to provide the listener with entertainment. Though there is never a shortage of that. When I listen to Jane's Addiction I am taken back to that period of teenager-dom immediately before adolescance. Those days when I realized mom and dad were not infallible. When I realized there was more to learn than my teachers told me. When I realized there were parts to my life I had to discover myself. During those times one of my biggest sources of inspiration was Jane's Addiction.Free Music Review: Shockingly good.

Their other albums might have gotten more attention, but this debut from "Jane's Addiction" is just as good as the next two. In some ways it's better. The big difference is that this is live, and has a much more raw feel, and captures their sound before they got more popular. A much younger "Perry Farrell" adds alot to the music with his unique voice, and "Dave Navarro" plays guitar better than he possibly does today. Plus some absolute classic songs are on here, like "Trip Away", "Whores", "I Would For You", "My Time", and of course "Jane Says". There's also great covers of the "Stones" and "Velvet Underground". Anyone new to this should be greatly impressed, and any major fan will find this as essential as any other album.Free Music Review: glad to see good taste
Hit: 4 Stars
although never having heard this releaseI am familiar with some of the cover material. I have nothing shocking and I found it to be a very good cd Janes addiction are good writers and ggod performers. they are not merely carbon copy soundalikes of all the other bands on the scene they have their OWN STYLE! Dave navarro is an accomlplished guitarist and stephen perkins is a very good drummer. Also I am glad to see that the listeners truly appreciate the band for their music and not merely jumping on the popularity bandwagon
