: : 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.
I like them all too. I don't really count Kettle Whistle since there was only a couple new songs(although I love the live cuts and unreleased stuff). That Spin article was pretty damn cool. I like how they did it. They did the same thing with the Beastie Boys a few years back like that and was a pretty cool read.
