  • 5 against 4

    Jane’s Addiction contribute first, with “Chip Away”, a wild, pounding, tribalesque track that never lets up for a second, even during a momentary shift to hand-claps and rim shots. They pick up their instruments for “Whores”, a fairly formulaic rock number that is, nonetheless, pretty compelling. NIN’s “Not So Pretty Now” clearly comes from the sonically anæmic With Teeth era; despite being an exciting track, it’s predictable and not one of Trent’s finest achievements (which of course means it’s in keeping with With Teeth). “Non Entity”, on the other hand, is superb; the tempo is sluggish but somehow driving, and as the textures develop, the song seems to be a perfect synthesis of ideas from numerous NIN releases, including Ghosts. It’s the best track on the EP.

    Trent Reznor hangin’ in the studio last month with Jane’s Addition wasn’t just a time to reminisce and it turns out Nine Inch Nails and Jane’s have been playin together more than just to practice for their upcoming tour. In fact they’ve laid down some tracks to integrate into the new tour and (in 21st century style) have decided to give the ninja 2009 tour sampler away in a free download. The NIN tracks Non-Entity and Not So Pretty Now bare a deep resemblance to With Teeth. Which is great…I feel Trent may have lost a little free-spirited, simplistic studio experimentation that made his “come back” album, With Teeth, so fucking fresh from mainstream slop. Street Sweeper’s not my gig. Ol school Janes fans will recognize two tracks from their very first album and one brand new. Hot demo style tracks to keep your mouth watering all the way to the ticket booth.

    However, if you think this will lead to an entire new Jane's Addiction album with Reznor producing, that seems unlikely. When asked if fans could expect such a new record, Farrell replied, "I don't think so. For me, the idea is to introduce one or two songs into this touring cycle along with the ones everybody loves and knows." Along with the new Jane's addiction recordings, the new downloadable tour sampler features the previously unreleased NIN's songs "Not So Pretty Now" and "Non-Entity," as well as a pair of tracks from tour openers Street Sweeper, the new project by Rage Against the Machines guitarist Tom Morello and the Coup's Boots Riley.
