Thanks for the input everybody. I agree with most of you regarding the earlier releases. I started listening to Jane's when I came across their first release (on XXX records) at a record store and I was drawn to their "raw" sound and emotion. I think success can take that energy away, and it never comes back. This album proves that the energy felt in the earlier releases was real, based on their emotions and feelings at that stage in their lives. The new release, while still good, just doesn't have that raw edge that was so prevalent on the earlier stuff. Time and money have dulled their sound a little, but I still love the band (especially Stephen Perkins on the skins!)
