Product Description

Amazon.ca

Cult heroes Jane's Addiction are the Grateful Dead for the should-I-be-a-punk-or-a-hippy-or-metal-head-or-just-get-high-and-become-one-with-the-music underground; so Kettle Whistle, the band's collection of live recordings, a few new songs, and B-sides from their two albums, would be as must-have for fans as all those Dead bootlegs--even if it sucked. This is definitely an album for the converted, and the extended jams and live ramblings would be hard to endure without a frame of reference. The electronic filler and robotic knob-twiddling on the new songs, "Kettle Whistle" and "So What," suggest that Jane's Addiction's breakup was well timed, but the demos and live cuts ooze the band's tremendous energy and chemistry. In the 1988 demo of "Ocean Size," Perry Farrell's charismatic, raspy howl mingling with Dave Navarro's screeching guitar sucks you into the music and sends you to an alternate groove-plane. --Megan O. Steintrager

4.0 out of 5 stars Good to add to your collection Nov 24 2003
By Bookworm
Format:Audio CD
Another live one from Jane's but I don't love it quite as much as their selt-titled live album. If you like Jane's, you will have heard most of these songs before. However, KETTLE WHISTLE and SLOW DIVERS within themselves make this album a must have. Besides, isn't fun to have like 4 different cds with JANE SAYS on it? (if you count Perry's REV album in addition to K.W, Nothings Shocking, and J.A's first album).

3.0 out of 5 stars Save Your Money - Wait for Strays July 10 2003
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I've been a Jane's fan for 14 years now, seen them live several times... Love them - my favorite band on earth. But... If you haven't bought this CD yet, let me save you from wasting your money. This is stuff we've all heard before as die-hard Jane's fans - nothing remarkable enough to want to hear it again. The new stuff on this CD is flat and boring. Not worth it in my opinion. I give it 3 stars for people who just want to collect. I bought it and still have it, but never listen to it. Rather hear the old stuff. Can't wait for Strays though - from what I've read, it's going to be incredible. Out July 22nd.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best, new, live, demos, etc. July 2 2003
By H3@+h
Format:Audio CD
Though it's not one, you could kind of look at this as a live "best of" album, with new songs. Nothing will ever match the quality of "Nothings Shocking" and "Ritual de lo Habitual", but this is still a great listen for old and new fans. The new songs are pretty good. "Kettle Whistle" is similar to "Then she did", and "So What" has kind of a "Stop" feel to it. "Slow Divers" and "My cats name is Maceo" are both ok, and it's cool to have "City" from the "Soul Kiss" video. The rest of it is just classic live material, some not as good as the originals, and some better. There's also alot of pictures in the sleeve, and a little band history from "Henry Rollins". I would highly suggest getting this, right after the first three records.

4.0 out of 5 stars How come some people...they don't like nothing at all...?
I think, great! a new Janes album, but then realize how very little of this album is anything new. It was interesting that Flea played bass on it. Read more

With the latest Janes reunion underway it seems only fitting to look back at 97's "relapse" and its accompanying tie-in CD. Read more
