Jane's Addiction strays back
It's been a long 13-year absence for the band that pretty much kicked of the alternative rock movement. Jane's Addiction is back with what seems like a terrific new album. I have not listened to all of the songs, just 4-5 of them. So far, so fantastic. You can stream the songs in MP3 format off the official Jane's Addiction website. Jon Pareles reviews the album for the Rolling Stone, giving it a very enthusiastic 4 stars.
Jane's Addiction return with three quarters of their old lineup and every bit of their old zing on Strays, their first studio album since 1990. At a time when most hard rock has devolved into bluster, spite and tattooed self-pity, the revived Jane's Addiction rock for something that shouldn't have become unfashionable: joy.
