  • Pitchfork

    Rhino gathers the best from Perry Farrell's trailblazing band-- a group that somehow managed to capture the sum total of 1980s underground music culture and lay the sonic groundwork for the decade that followed.

    If you missed any of that the first time around, it's time to get your head right. Warner Brothers and Rhino have saved you the trouble of buying up a whole discography's worth of good stuff by distilling most of the best bits down to Up from the Catacombs: The Best of Jane's Addiction.

    Catacombs draws largely on a pre-Nevermind moment, but finds the quartet’s ethos still exciting. Turn it up.

    Jane's Addiction was different from the beginning and led the charge of the Alternative Rock movement that took hold of the music industry in the late eighties. To many music fans the band paved the way for the groups who would follow them based on their unique blending of punk, funk, metal, and even psychedelic rock that when under the creative eye of Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro seemed to work together incredibly well.

    Best-of collection from cult art-funk-metal combo whose charismatic and provocative image and anything-goes approach made them one of the most popular and influential groups of the 90s. This release compiles material from the band's three major label albums - their 1988 studio debut 'Nothing's Shocking', 1990's breakthrough hit 'Ritual De Lo Habitual' and 2003's long-delayed comeback 'Strays'.

    Jane's Addiction became icons of what Farrell dubbed the "Alternative Nation". The band's initial farewell tour, in 1991, launched the first Lollapalooza, which has since become a perennial alternative rock festival.

    Up From the Catacombs is a great collection and features some of the greatest songs of all time from a fanominal band. A few bad tracks keep it from flawlessness, but Jane's Addiction arn't meant to be perfect. So hats off the elite, the incredible, the amazing, Jane's Addiction.

    Clearly this was a band that defined a moment in the building of a genre and that is a testament to their lasting appeal even today. If this is to become your only purchase from the band for your music player of choice or CD library then it’s a great place to start but I did find that this was a band that you cannot merely take choice selections from and present them for it doesn’t give enough of the picture about their impact.

  • Tv Tropes

    Jane's Addiction are an extremely influential Alternative Rock band, one of the first from that genre to gain a degree of commercial success and mainstream attention before Nirvana and grunge broke through, and the creators of the Lollapalooza festival in the early 1990s.

    Jane's Addiction was always a sometimes fascinating, sometimes frustrating mess. However, if you want to know what the hype was all about, this is as good a place to start as any.
