Kettle Whistle by Jane's Addiction

Pros: Good collection of new and old Jane's Addiction.

Cons: More for hardcore Jane's Addiction fans than casual ones.

The Bottom Line: if you're a hardcore Jane's Addiction fan you'll definitely like this one.

Review: Jane's Addiction was one of the leading bands to emerge from Los Angeles in the late 1980s. They were considered one of the groups that helped set the stage for the massive "alternative rock breakout" that took place in the early 90s, yet Jane's...

Pros: perfect collection

Cons: zero

The Bottom Line: Out takes, demos, live versions and some new songs. That is what this is and anybody who respects alternative music needs this.

Review: Janes Addiction is the band responsible for laying the bricks for the alternative explosion in the early 90's. You may be thinking Nirvana, Pearl Jam ect. But Jane's Addiction were on a different level, not the grunge wagon. Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro...

Pros: Live Tracks, New Tracks, all great songs

Cons: none

Review: I purchased this CD knowing only the songs 'Been Caught Stealing' and 'Jane Says', and a bit unsure whether I was making a wise decision. When I listened to the disc, though, I was convinced that I had been right in getting it, and soon bought...

Pros: great songs, raw energy, Jane Says

Cons: Not too thrilled with this version of Been Caught Stealing

Review: I loved the songs "Been Caught Stealing" and "Jane Says" when they were popular the first time around, but I was a kid, and never bought their cds. When Jane's released "Kettle Whistle" I could not wait to buy it. I rushed...

Pros: Live and new songs.

Cons: none

Review: Jane's Addiction's new collective CD "Kettle Whistle" is a must have for this genre. This CD is Jane at their best, and puts Perry Ferell at the same level of many of alternative rock's greatest. This CD offers live versions of Jane's...

Pros: All good songs.

Cons: Not long enough.

Review: I bought this album, basically because I love anything by Janes Addiction/former Porno for Pyros. I really liked the way some familiar songs are played differently. Janes Addictions lyrics are very powerful and spiritual. From "Had a Dad" to...

Pros: succulent, entrancing, alluring, passionate, beautiful harmonious melodies and rythums...

Cons: it doesn't last forever....

Review: Jane's Addiction is the most provocative, sexy, enigmatic, alluring bad that ever was to come out of the alternative music scene. They were poineers for such bands as the PIXIES, thebreeders...nirvana.... Perry's voice is haunting, and spaceous, as are...

Pros: A vastly different genre of music... it's probably the best CD that you have never heard of.

Cons: The lyrics are consistently drowned out by the heavy guitar playing... Perry, why oh, why do you have to whisper all the time?

Review: If you opened the included CD booklet and read the first passage, it truly explains the exact sentiment that I have about the band, Jane's Addiction...

"Jane's Addiction was one of the truly great bands. From a decade that will be...

Pros: Rarities, Live Performances, Unreleased Songs, Out-Takes, & A New Song.

Cons: Rough Recordings on Some Demos/Out-Takes & A New Song.

The Bottom Line: Kettle Whistle is a Good, Fascinating Compilation Album from Jane's Addiction.

Review: In the years between the band's break-up in 1991 and the Relapse reunion of 1997, Jane's Addiction had already laid the ground work for the alternative music scene. Months after the band's break-up in September of 1991, the alternative music scene ...
