Ritual de lo Habitual [Explicit Lyrics]
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
By far Jane's Addiction's best album, Ritual De Lo Habitual is chock full of songs that are both catchy and experimental. The singles "Stop" and "Been Caught Stealing" are good examples; "No One's Leaving" has a nice funk edge with some busy guitar work, and "Ain't No Right" and "Obvious" are strong as well. Unfortunately, "Three Days" and "Then She Did . . ." are overlong and get bogged down well short of halfway through, but the album finishes strongly with "Of Course" and "Classic Girl". Jane's Addiction's funk-punk-rock mix is appealing, and never more so than on this album. --Genevieve Williams --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.
Average customer rating:
- One of the best albums of all time

- The end of JA's first era

- A fun album!

One of the best albums of all time.......2007-06-08
This album is the soundtrack along with Jane's Nothing Shocking for my life when I was in highschool. I think it is a work of pure genius. The music has it all,jet fueled funk rock,love and sex everything. My altime favorite song on this record is without a doubt Three Days and after that No Ones Leaving. I can listen from start to finish but those songs are my favorites. Also the lyrics are poetry, you must check out Perry's writing in the linar notes entitled "To The Mosquitoes". This record has been the source of countless amounts of inspiration for writing song lyrics and writing music. If your into Jane's you should read the book Whore's. This album is the best,also check out their other albums.
Some of the best rock ever made.......2007-05-17
What an album! This is REAL alternative-rock, back when it really WAS an alternative to something. It's got bits of funk, prog, folk, psychedelia, whatever, in addition to hard rock. It all comes together on the the three long guitar workouts: Three Days (JA's best ever IMHO), Then She Did and Of Course. Dave Narravo was (and still is) a talented creative guitarists. And where to hear that better than these pieces. And the lyrics on those first two... amazing. So the three funk/prog/folk/psychedelic/hard-rock songs rule supremely, but you knew that already. The record's first half is just as good though, with some equally memorable, more conventional rockers: the funky hit Been Caught Stealin' is probably the catchiest song about crime I've ever heard. A great song to blast. The rockers Stop and No One's Leaving are also quite cool, even if they're a lot more normal than the best songs, they still pack a punch. And these guys can do riffs!
This is to me JA's best album, a classic for the ages. The early '90s was a very creative period for rocck music (almost as much so as my beloved '65-'75!), and this is probably the best album to come from the era.
The end of JA's first era.......2007-02-10
Before the ulikely reunion with Dave Navarro etc this album was considered to be that last JA album we'd have bestowed upon us by this most famous of Perry Farrells vehicles. And like the previous two slabs from this most eclectic of heavy art rock acts it's a scattered journey.
From the stop start attack of Stop! to the rants of later tracks onthis disc this is not the sort of stuff your going to hear on an easy listening station. Or even a mainstream metal radio station. In actual fact the majority of this album is hard to pin down which is perhaps why so many people loved this band. The listener has to really wrestle with much of this album, Been Caught Stealing and perhaps Stop! being the only two tracks that really strike me as being fairly linear or at leat easily digested.
Never having swum as close to the current as Farrell and the lads I find it hard to really fathom what is going on here. Perhaps it's something only mind expanding drugs can unlock. Certainly my more chemically adventurous friends back in those long gone high school days seemed to get more out of this labrynthical musical offering. Ultimately to me this album just didn't penetrate my phsyche - coming across as an angrier Hawkwidn in terms of me not really knowing what's going on though where Hawkwinds' art rock was minimalist the JA lads strafe their listeners with mentally frayed lyrics and dive bomb t hem with musical moves that fit perfectly in a disjointed way, like you've woken up in an alternate musical universe.
Art rock sequing into art metal, JA give the listener precious few handholds with which to climb the mountain, riffs are barely worthy of the name in some cases while in others they are totally accessable and then disappear.
My best advice for the newcomer is to get the accepted masterpiece of Nothings Shocking, then this disc which will forever known as their second best and if your still on board then try their self titled debut. Of course I'm discounting their later 'reunion' albums as I've not heard them and don't want to comment on 'em and lead you astray. Though the tour for Strays was a fun gig....
Perhaps the most helpful thing I can say is that the new fan should try to pick up the bands catalogue cheaply as listening to JA'a albums out of their temporal time and space will never give you an appreciation of just how influential their music and persona was. A band that, a touch like Nirvana, were more influential than they were actually good in and of themselves. A low four stars IMHO.
"my sex and my drugs and my rock and roll...".......2006-06-08
... and this is the last, most literate treatise on the sparks that fly between those three discrete phenomena that I can remember. Nothing has come close ever since: this is the quintessential Los Angeles spaced-out, drugged-out rock slab upon which millions of minds were soul-sacrificed since the day of release.
"Ritual" is a bright light among the used bins, screaming out at you from two (!!!) distinct and meaningful slices of cover art, and if memory serves me, I snatched up both for the hell of it. The first listen was at a party on a sweltering summer afternoon into spacy hot evening, the CD thrust upon me by a buddy who was also in a pretty popular indie-rock band at the time who claimed to have been inspired and changed already, two days after its release. I bought it the next day. I made out to it, listened to it on road trips, put it on mixtapes for friends, stared at the cover, set it in stone. I carried the novena thingy in my wallet for a while too.
A little context: the pseudo-political ramblings of a very heady Perry were consistent with the open-eyed awakening of (true) gen-X youth of the time: a time when there was no internet spoon-feeding and word-of-mouth was the order of the day. I seem to recall a real stream of interest in generational politics and a true alternative ethic: Fugazi and the whole DC thing were exploding in air, Douglas Coupland had just written his book, China and Eastern Europe were simmering and worldwide global crapola was everywhere. The state of the environment was resurrected as a social issue. We were finally figuring out that we had to live in a world with something called AIDS. Even frivolous pop-culture stuff like "My Own Private Idaho" was part of this generational, twenty-something awakening. "Ritual" was the soundtrack to this revolution of the mind that seemed to be erupting in my heart and those of my friends. Something was changing.
The album is brilliant. Nothing is filler. It was like a scream from L.A., and the music was all over the map. Perry's vocals were attacks. The rhythm section was apocalyptic and buzzing. And good grief - Navarro - the first Guitar God of the 90's - what ground he didn't cover in the initial five tracks is mopped up with sonic reverb and melancholy in the end, a wan, wasted vision closing with the underrated "Classic Girl", a sunset to a sonic excursion on a scope with the very best epic rock from any era. This was the 90's at its doorstep, and "Ritual" set the tone for the entire decade, with a truly astonishing and fertile underground scene earthquaking in its afterglow. Everything that came after seemed to spring from this source: from Jawbox to grrl rock (Babes, L7, and so on), from shoegaze to garage rock (did MBV and Dinosaur really tour? what I wouldn't give today), from music to movies to political activism to interpersonal change... everything just erupted after "Ritual". Just erupted.
The importance, vision, and intensity of this album cannot be overstated. It's one for the ages.
A fun album!.......2006-05-16
It stuns me how Jane's Addiction is such an unknown band today, compared to Zeppelin and stuff... n e way, here r my revus 4 the songs:
1. Stop! - (5/5)
2. No One's Leaving - (5/5)
3. Ain't No Right - (5/5)
4. Obvious - (5/5)
5. Been Caught Stealing - (5/5)
6. Three Days - (999/5): This song is the album's weakness. It is SO good that it leaves all the other songs in the dust. The best head-banging experience I ever had!
7. Then She Did... - (5/5)
8. Of Course - (5/5)
9. Classic Girl - (5/5)
see, Jane's Addiction roks.
