Review

Rolling Stone (08/07/03, p.70) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...The band sounds familiar, with its old gambits intact: the serenely rippling ballads that give way to battering-ram riffs, the odd-meter funk vamps, the sudden swerves from metal stomp to thoughtful melody, the ocean-size crescendos..."
Entertainment Weekly (7/25/03, pp.69-71) - "...An ambitious, exuberant effort that moves through hard-rock cave stomps into swaggering funk and loopy folk, STRAYS sounds like the work of a committed band intent on hanging around..." - Grade: B+
Q (01/01/04, p.82) - Ranked #10 in Q's "The 50 Best Albums of 2003" - "[A] heady blur of twisted art-metal..."
Uncut (9/03, p.112) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Their old magic surges through: you won't be disappointed..."
Alternative Press (9/03, p.112) - 4 out of 5 - "...Dave Navarro and newly recruited bassist Chris Chaney crank the distortion and tighten the riffs..."
CMJ (7/28/03, p.6) - "...STRAYS proves that Jane's hasn't lost its signature sound..."
Mojo (Publisher) (08/03, p.90) - 4 out of 5 stars - "...[Features] Jane's signatures that have been re-jigged to dazzle; the digital delays which lift Farrell to altitude; the loping bass lines; the quiet guitars...and loud ones that trick the Richter Scale with each caustic kerrang!..."

Title Note

This is an Enhanced CD which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files which features a making of the video "Just Because."

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.

Thirteen years after emerging from the studio with RITUAL DE LO HABITUAL, Jane's Addiction returned in 2003 with STRAYS. Unlike many comebacks, Jane's chemistry remains, even with new bassist Chris Chaney stepping in for founding member Eric Avery. With Perry Farrell in fine fettle and legendary producer Bob Ezrin aboard to oversee this highly risky project, the band's gamble has paid off in spades. Despite Jane's extended hiatus, the group's aggression hasn't abated at all, whether it's Dave Navarro's crunching guitar behind the stomping opening cut "True Nature," the mosh-ready groove "Just Because," or the ultra-funky "Wrong Girl," echoing Navarro's time in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Unlike so much of the aggro-rock this quartet influenced in their aftermath, part of JA's magic was its ease with more eclectic fare. Some of this outing's more interesting moments include "Everybody's Friend," an acoustic-soaked ode to a lost chum, and "The Riches," which draws from a palette of spiky hooks and Chaney's fat basslines that give way to an ethereal outro of chiming guitar and swirling keyboards. With only their third studio album (!), Jane's Addiction makes a triumphant comeback that feels as if they never really left.
