Jane's Addiction is legendary band. Dave Navarro is considered one of the best guitarist (he also played in Red Hot Chili Peppers and recorded One Hot Minute with them) and singer Perry Farrell is creator of one of the best festivals - Lollapalooza.
The band was founded in 1985. They released two records and split up in 1991. They reunited for couple of times and then finally in 2003 recorded new album called Strays. It was quite successful and single "Just Because" was even nominated for Grammy Award. However, after release of Strays, they split up again.
But they are back now with full force and new album The Great Escape Artist. Singer Perry has described the record quite accurately. He said: "it's a strange mixture of that post-punk Goth darkness that Jane's had, with what's going on today with groups like Muse and Radiohead. As much as I want to appease fans and make old Jane's fans love me, I just can't help myself from moving forward." I think he is absolutely right.
New record isn't so raw anymore because it's much more modern. Of course, there are Jane's Addiction fans who don't like this change, but I gotta say that the album is really powerful and beautiful. Main single "Irresistable Force" is in my opinion the best song of the album. In fact, this track describes the whole album. If you don't like this song, you won't probably like the album either.
