CD ReviewsBlistering Rock Music, Classic and Ahead of Its Time Brian Swatek | 09/21/2006 (5 out of 5 stars) "By the time Jane's Addiction had their "big hit" (_Ritual de lo Habitual_'s "Been Caught Stealing") their sound and style had already been adopted by so many early 90's "alternative" artists that it took their leadership of the Lollapalooza Festival to remind the public just how long they had been creating their unique blend of psychadelic-glam-art-metal. Moving from gentle to blistering rock within the span of seconds, Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Eric Avery, and Stephen Perkins created a sound during their early live shows (represented on their self-titled first album) that was at once classic and ahead of its time. The tracks on this greatest hits package focus on the mainly on the studio tracks that were recorded in the years after those early club days, including many great cuts from their first studio album, _Nothing's Shocking_. Listening to a track like "Ocean Size," it's hard not to be drawn into their world for a few minutes. The music and lyrics create a complete space of their own--unique and like nothing else." A Great Place to Start... B. D. Holloway | Austin, Texas | 10/16/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "I always get a little bit suspicious when a band with such a small back catalog comes out with a "best of" album...and after the slapped together money spinners that were "Kettle Whistle" and "Live and Rare" have already stung your pocket you have good reason to...13 of the 19 songs that appear on Ritual De Lo Habitual and Nothing Shocking combined turn up on "Up form the Catacombs", but this is not a bad thing - these two albums are where their genius lie...and make this album a great place to start for newer fans of the band." Classic Jane's. H3@+h | VT | 10/02/2005 (4 out of 5 stars) "This collection was to be released forever ago, but hey, it's here now. I'll admit I was a worshipper of the band back in the glory days of the group, and I credit them with the mainstreaming of alternative rock as much as the bands that actually got the credit (Nirvana/Pixies). Truth be known, this is actually a fairly accurate selection. It draws heavily from "Nothing's Shocking" and "Ritual De Lo Habitual", and rightly so. In my perfect world, I would drop the tracks "Ocean Size", "Ain't No Right", and "Superhero". Not that they're not good songs, but I think the tracks "So What", "True Nature", and a cover like "Ripple" would make this a more rounded set. Still, if you're looking for your first or only Jane's Addiction disc, this is it."
