I guess I'm in a mood so im going to post this. I still love this album but it was my high-school self's sacred book of wisdom. i definitely dont listen to much music like this at all anymore but they have got to be one of the most mystical and creative hard rock bands ever. Unfortunately in more recent years they dont really come off that way: 
but they definitely were cool when they were younger:
Perry Farrell I think is one of the most powerful and influential musical forces in the past 20 years, not only as a singer and musician, but as a thinker and impresario too. This band to me was on a different level creatively than anyone else in that time or genre, and the music to me sounds like it is exploding with a wild, reckless, shamanic, and above all, honest creative spirit. No one says 'fuck the world' quite as beautifully and gracefully as Jane's Addiction. Whatever I just think they're underrated. If you haven't heard this listen
And while we're at it--their other masterpiece.
Listen Listen
i concur!! they are massively under-rated, even now. they were incredibly creative and honest as you say, i think by the time strays came out, the alternative rock bands of the time had caught up a fair bit. so perhaps it wasn't as stand out as you hoped it wud be? still, i think you will struggle to find a more beautiful, articulate and damn cool rock song than 'Just Because' tho!!
ReplyDeleteyeah i dug strays a shit ton when it came out because i was 13, but now looking back on it, i think it was a disaster and i really dont like that album at all. but thanks for the commment its good to have anonymous kindred spirits out there somewhere
ReplyDeleteGrrrreat post! I love Jane's Addiction, but especially, I love Perry Farrel's art. There's a song on his solo album named "Song yet to be sung"... I love its world music sound! Nice music for a generic viagra addict, isn't it? Huh!
