Janes Addiction makes yet another return to us with their first album since 2003. Dave Navarro is back in action on guitar and this is Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio which ensures low for the majority of the album. Lex-Guns N Roses Duff McKagan participates meanwhile 3 parts. Janes Addiction was one of the most creative alternative bands in the late 1980s, but we must admit that those days are gone. Perry Farrell was able to continue its mission in the 1990s with Porno For Pyros, Janes Addiction, but can never be the innovative group that he once was. When tuned lon begins The Great Escape Artist, we say quon in front of a solid rock album. The first titles are interesting ("Underground", "Curiosity Kills") and a peak is reached with the excellent "Irresistible Force (Met the Immovable Object)." Unfortunately, most of the following titles are alike and quickly falls into a routine rather disconcerting considering that Janes Addiction has always been rather kind to keep us on the tip of our headquarters. Sinstalle boredom quickly in the second half and, although we desperately tries to resist, we finally get. And the worst is that it it has very little to convince us dy return. Too bad! The Great Escape Artist is nevertheless a good album of alternative rock, but it is not worthy of the reputation Janes Addiction. If you can listen to it by forgetting the past of its creators, you probably lapprécierez a little more. Please note that the deluxe version includes a second CD with 11 classic group recorded in concert during dun festival in Mexico City. This exciting addition will certainly a little more luster to the album.
