Jane's Addiction-Ritual De Lo Habitual ****
Easily the bands strongest album released with the original line up of Perry on vocals, Dave Navarro on guitar, Stephen Perkins on drums, and Eric on bass. As far as the Strays album which was released with another bass player it was good for an arena rock band, but not for an alternative act of Jane's callober. Released in 1990 before a world tour which would be the bands last due to creative difference this would only be the bands second studio before they imploded.
In a nut shell the album is based and centered around the focal point of the album, the song 'Three Days' which is the story of a three day sexual experince Perry had with two other women, which is also dipicted on the albums cover. This song is a roller-coaster filled with slowed tempos and fast breaking instrumental assaults. Dave Navarro's guitar solo is easily the best thing he ever recorded. Other highlights on the album include the opening track and minor hit 'Stop!' which starts the album off perfectly. 'No One's Leaving' is another rocker which keeps the albums going nicely. 'Been Caught Stealing' is the albums big hit single, and went on to be one of the 1990's most memorable songs. 'Classic Girl' closes the album and may very well be the very best song that Jane's Addiction ever pinned. Describing the song would do no good as you really must hear it to understand it, and beside describing it would be damn near impossible. 'Ain't No Right' and 'The She Did...' are also memorable.
Ritual was quite the swan song for Jane's Addiction. I brought everything the band stood for and wanted to convey with their music and art to the mainstream even more so then their fantastic debut, Nothings Shocking. After this Navarro would join the Red Hot Chili Peppers for a short stint and Perry would form the great Porno For Pyros but none of those side projects could compare to Jane's and Ritual in prticular. Navarro never played better guitar before or after, and Perrys lyrics are his all time best. This is the album to get if you want Jane's Addiction.
Ritual de lo Habitual Poster
By far Jane's Addiction's best album, Ritual De Lo Habitual is chock full of songs that are both catchy and experimental. The singles "Stop" and "Been Caught Stealing" are good examples; "No One's Leaving" has a nice funk edge with some busy guitar work, and "Ain't No Right" and "Obvious" are strong as well. Unfortunately, "Three Days" and "Then She Did . . ." are overlong and get bogged down well short of halfway through, but the album finishes strongly with "Of Course" and "Classic Girl". Jane's Addiction's funk-punk-rock mix is appealing, and never more so than on this album. --Genevieve WilliamsAlternative Rock Music CDs
