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

Gossamer · 10-11-2011, 06:35 PM

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

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

redbull · 10-11-2011, 10:52 PM

this band is a fucking joke

Trotskilicious · 10-11-2011, 11:07 PM

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

Dogfighter28 · 10-11-2011, 11:19 PM

i only ever liked the song Stop

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

Trotskilicious · 10-12-2011, 12:11 AM

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

Trotskilicious · 10-12-2011, 12:11 AM

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

lala · 10-12-2011, 09:18 AM

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

Catherine Wheel · 10-12-2011, 11:23 PM

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

Gossamer · 10-13-2011, 06:39 PM

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.

Catherine Wheel · 10-13-2011, 06:43 PM

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

Gossamer · 10-13-2011, 08:28 PM

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.

Catherine Wheel · 10-14-2011, 04:40 AM

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.

lala · 10-14-2011, 05:24 AM

strays is nu-metal shit

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

cardiac · 10-14-2011, 02:30 PM

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

Catherine Wheel · 10-14-2011, 04:02 PM

On rateyourmusic.com Strays is categorized as alternative metal.

Trotskilicious · 10-14-2011, 06:06 PM

Gossamer · 10-14-2011, 06:40 PM

Cmon' Strays is definitely not nu-metal.

C'mon.
