: Are you saying that Ritual is your favorite jane's album? If so, you're the first person I've ever heard say that. It's always Nothing's Shocking.
well, personally, i like all three (four?) i'm just saying that 'ritual' seemed like a pretty big artistic step forward from 'shocking' and it really seemed like they were getting more creative and really jelling as a band. funny thing is, if you read the article in the latest spin, they were anything but tight at that time.
any time a band takes chances and presents material that would be considered outside the expectations of their audience, i have to applaud. it seemed to be their creative apex.
