Jane's Addiction - The Great Escape Artist (streaming on iTunes right now)
 

Surprised there's no buzz for this here...

I'm a few tracks in and the album is pretty solid.

this band is a fucking joke

really you're surprised nobody here wants to hear the death rattle of a band way past its prime

i only ever liked the song Stop

um this is a smashing pumpkins board isn't it?

:smoke:

yes and we all hate their new shit and bag on it all the time

i haven't even listened to anything after zeitgeist and i still haven't heard zwan

love the new album. much better than strays. nothing's shocking is still the best in my opinion

It's a pretty good album. I had my doubts since it had been so long since they had released anything.

It's easily their weakest album and definitely nowhere near as good as their previous stuff...but it's still better than half the shit out there right now.

How would you compare it to the new Chili Peppers album?

To be honest I haven't really given the new chili's a fair chance. I used to love RHCP but now they just kind of get on my nerves unless it's Blood Sugar Sex Magik. I will give it another shot tonight though. When I heard the single it reminded me of a bad Maroon 5 and I nearly puked.

Also, I still don't understand why people hate on Strays. It's a criminally underrated modern rock album.

I prefer One Hot Minute and Californication to BSSM. The new one isn't as good as either of those but it is pretty solid I think.

strays is nu-metal shit

hey i am a big JA fan, but strays is a shitty record

Has absolutely nothing to do with nu-metal, though.

yeah maybe ... it has that "steel" guitar sound that was a direct influence of shitty linkin park and other shitty nu-metal bands of that time

On rateyourmusic.com Strays is categorized as alternative metal.

Cmon' Strays is definitely not nu-metal.

C'mon.

yeah it is not nu-metal ... i am just saying that the guitar work on that album sounds like nu-metal. let's rather talk about the new record. curiosity kills is an amazing track!

you mean digital distortion?

it's so funny to watch people talk about music sometimes

cheers buddy
