no i don't listen to rush. i mean i can tolerate it in very small doses, but i dont think i'd ever own a rush album.

Wow...this thread hasn't been posted in since '05.

So "The Great Escape Artist" is streaming on iTunes and I had to check it out. I'm pleasantly surprised. Granted, I'm one of the few who seems to have found some enjoyment in "Strays"...but I can definitely see how it wasn't welcomed very warmly. They had definitely lost their Jane's Addiction-ness...it was straight ahead alternative rock. They seem to have gained some of that back this time around. They are a bit more adventurous with their songs, but there is a maturity with the music that needs to be there considering the age of the band.

I'll gladly add this one to my collection once it actually gets released. Very enjoyable stuff.

Ive always liked Jane's Addiction myself, looking forward to their latest release.

October 18, 2011. The album will be the first since their 2008 reunion.

I love them. Nothing´s shocking and Ritual are their best.
The new isn´t bad at all, but they will never be the same.

They are good, i like them too

My favorite song would definitely have to be "Stop". It's simple, rockin, and I really like the break in the middle of the song.

my fave is still Ritual

didn't like Nothing much

i just got Strays and the new one, so i'll be lending them a "new" ear

Love Nothing's Shocking

"Ted, Just Admit It"

But I also loved Ritual de Lo Habitual

and looking forward to grabbing a copy of the new album...

This is anathema to me. Nothing's Shocking is excellent. A classic.
Ritual de lo habitual is possibly even better but if so, it's very close.

Also, I recently happened upon a used CD of their s/t live album and bought it without hesitation. It's pure JA and I needed a hard copy.

I'd go the other direction, Ritual is close but not better. I find there's a bit too much filler on that one. Then She Did... and Of Course don't need to be 7-8 minutes long each. They could have trimmed those tracks down to reasonable lengths thereby increasing their impact and found room to fit Kettle Whistle, Whores, or Slow Divers into the album.
