Title: no addiction
Review: I've always liked Jane's Addiction. They, at one time, had a lead singer who had a distinct voice and a unique ability to deliver irresistibly catchy vocal melodies combined with a very aggressive hard rock/heavy metal style. The way it was done however, was quite original sounding.However, this particular performance leaves me confused and disappointed. It doesn't show any of the bands unique talents, and it actually shows Jane's Addiction as a very mediocre and generic alternative rock band, which they most certainly are not. I can assure you- listen to their early albums, and you'll hear GREAT songwriting.Perhaps Jane's Addiction just aren't a great live band, or maybe they didn't have the energy or dedication to rip out a stellar performance on this particular night, who knows?I'm also not very fond of the way Perry Farrell curses while communicating with the audience. It doesn't offend me, but I'd rather he not do that.Anyway, just pick up one of the bands early studio albums.
Is the review positive or negative?
