Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

By far Jane's Addiction's best album, Ritual De Lo Habitual is chock full of songs that are both catchy and experimental. The singles "Stop" and "Been Caught Stealing" are good examples; "No One's Leaving" has a nice funk edge with some busy guitar work, and "Ain't No Right" and "Obvious" are strong as well. Unfortunately, "Three Days" and "Then She Did . . ." are overlong and get bogged down well short of halfway through, but the album finishes strongly with "Of Course" and "Classic Girl". Jane's Addiction's funk-punk-rock mix is appealing, and never more so than on this album. --Genevieve Williams


CD Description

Jane's Addiction's RITUAL DE LO HABITUAL, the band's third release, is one of the cornerstones of 1990s alternative rock. The album features the group's popular breakthrough hit "Been Caught Stealing", as well as such genre classics as "Stop!", "Ain't No Right", and "Classic Girl".
Also included are the back-to-back epics "Three Days" and "Then She Did", which combine hard-rock, psychedelic, progressive, and alternative music sensibilities. Unfortunately, RITUAL DE LO HABITUAL would prove to be the band's final album with the original lineup. The members parted ways in 1991 after their last live appearances headlining Lollapalooza, the tour seriesstarted by lead singer Perry Farrell.

4.0 out of 5 stars Final Pronouncement from an influential band, 18 Aug 2000
By A Customer
Arguably the band who made the 90s possible. Nothing's Shocking, the first studio album, came out when Guns'N'Roses and their ilk dominated the charts here and in the states, and blew things wide open from a similiar rock base. Their success paved the way for Nirvana et al to cross over.

This album is more diverse, and perhaps a little less focused. But throughout Perry takes on themes and ideas few others in pop have ever tangled with, and the band, Dave Navarro and Stephen Perkins particularly, make sky-scraping music to match.

Although their demise was probably well timed, as much as anything they were a live band, with Perry a charismatic front-man and the ultimate entertainer. If he gets it back on track I'm sure he still has much to offer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock masterpiece, 24 Sep 2002
By Pieter "Toypom" (Johannesburg) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)   
This brilliant album provides a gripping blend of intoxicating rhythmic patterns, jagged guitar riffs and piercing, intense vocals, and is a work of depth that yields its treasures with repeated listening. My favorites include the hard rocking Stop and the catchy Been Caught Stealing, as well as the epic masterpieces Then She Did and Three Days. But most of all the churning Of Course with its poignant lyrics and the closing ballad Classic Girl with its mesmerising melody remain in my mind. Jane's Addiction's sound impresses both with its intensity, helped of course by Farrell's edgy voice, and its ability to shift dynamically between different sonic textures. At first listen - from the opening announcement in Spanish to the last strains of Classic girl - I knew this was a masterpiece. Subsequent listens have only revealed more and more of its rewarding nuances and intricate delights. Ritual de lo Habitual is at times tender, visceral, rousing and quirky, but always intense, dramatic and cinematic, like the best rock music should be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Staggering, 20 May 2005
By A. Baly "sdfsfasfd" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being a bit of an indie-kid at the time, Been Caught Stealing was the first I heard of Jane's Addiction. A friend and I happend to be in Vienna and saw that JA were playing a small hard rock venue, so we went along on the spur of the moment. There were few people there, but it turned out to be a life-changing moment. Listen to Ritual and you'll see why - this is music that operates at a different level. The album gives you a rock-funk kick in the behind to start, before ploughing into some crazy recesses of Perry Farrell's mind with Then She Did, Three Days and Of Course, before ending on a really classic slice of perfect pop rock. It's one of my favourite albums. And I'm not even a rock fan!
