"RITUAL DE LO HABITUAL"
Warner music
1990
Si con 15 años tropiezas con este disco, recién editado, por una de esas casualidades de la vida, te juro que tu vida cambiara para siempre…
Estas 9 canciones tienen un poder extremadamente peligroso, un magnetismo tremendo, casi mágico. En aquella época, con mi paga semanal te daba para un cassette o dos al mes, si conseguías una oferta o alguno de segunda mano, te daba para cuatro. Asi que tu pequeña colección crecía poco a poco.
Nada mas ponerlo en el walkman y escuchar esa voz femenina advierténdonos del peligro que corríamos, me estremeció… Y mis pupilas se dilataron al máximo solo con escuchar el riff de "Stop". El veneno ya estaba surgiendo efecto… No había palabras para describir los sentimientos que despertó la voz de Farrell. No es el mejor cantante del mundo, pero su forma de cantar me atrapo, inmediatamente me dedique a traducir las letras y ahí ya si que el efecto fue devastador…
Por muy malos discos que saquen y muchas tonterías que hagan, Jane's serán siempre uno de mis grupos favoritos. Hasta la tumba.
La fuerza de la base rítmica no tenia igual, y no hablemos de la guitarra de Dave Navarro! Ese hombre era para mi Jimi Hendrix y Jimmy Page juntos!
" No one's leaving" es un tiro! acelerada, directa al alma, todo va encajando a medida que avanza la canción. Una canción que muta su forma, se estira y se encoge, juguetea con tu cerebro hasta que el solo te revienta la cabeza. Estas enganchado, hasta el final de tus días , vivirás enganchado a este disco.
21 años después de escucharlo por primera vez, sigue sonando actual, fresco la magia sigue intacta. Eso es debido a unas canciones enormes, sobrenaturales, tocadas por la varita de un ser sobrenatural. Pero también es gracias al excelente trabajo en la producción de Dave Jerden.
"Ain't no right" empieza con un speech de Farrell, realmente escalofriante una especie de mantra que se grabo a fuego en mi subconsciente. Eric Avery, demuestra que un bajo es la sangre que bombea un grupo, es de esas lineas de bajo, que se alojan en lo mas profundo de tu corazón. Es una canción épica, sublime, no puedes ser humano si escuchando esta canción tu pulso no se altera.
Creo y lo digo sinceramente, que me enamore por primera vez al escuchar este disco. Y es mi amor eterno, jamas nos abandonaremos.
"Obvious" empieza lejana, pero enseguida te atrapa, una vez pasa eso, la melodía de Perry, se tatúa en tu piel… Grita, jalea, suspira y estremece, eso hace la voz de Perry en esta canción. El trabajo de Dave aquí es sublime, su guitarra tiene mil matices y el martilleante piano se te clava en el cerebro. Todo junto es tan grande que te dan ganas de salir a la calle desnudo y gritarla hasta caer rendido,extasiado, muerto de felicidad.
"Been caught stealing" es lo mas parecido a un single comercial que jamas grabo y grabara Jane's Addiction, inconscientemente, esta canción es un canto de sirenas al mas puro estilo de la Odisea de Homero.
Y llegamos a la cara B, "Three Days" es la canción mas grande, épica, monumental, que jamas grabo la banda. Es un disco entero, en una sola canción. Aun a día de hoy, sigo encontrando matices ocultos. Ni sobra ni falta nada… Son los 10:49 minutos mas importantes del Rock Alternativo americano mas importantes de la Historia. Tengo poco amor a los tatuajes y esas cosas y jamas creo, me haré uno pero durante años fantasee con tatuarme Three days en alguna parte de mi cuerpo.
No hay palabras para describir lo que sentía cada vez que la escuchaba tumbado en mi cama a oscuras… Ensimismado, perdido dentro de esta sublime creación. Tendría que estar en un museo! En el Louvre, el Moma o el Tate Modern …
Tras la catarsis emocional de "Three days" es lógico que llegue un tema tranquilo, relajado, "Then she did" te ayuda a volver al mundo real sin sufrir problemas cardiacos. Ensoñadora como pocas es como un chute de cloroformo, relaja tu cuerpo, y adormece tu alma. Los arreglos de cuerda en esta canción son espectaculares, van creando una atmósfera in crescendo realmente apabullante. Dotan a la canción de un músculo y una tensión oculta realmente dañina. Una de esas canciones en las que todo esta pensado al milímetro, todo encaja a la perfección creando un monstruo que te devora, te roba la respiración para apoderarse de tu cuerpo y llevarte a donde el quiere… Al abismo.
"Of Course" con esos violines Zingaros y esos aires arábigos, te advierten que las emociones no han acabado, la montaña rusa de las emociones a flor de piel van a seguir hasta el final. Con una de las mejores letras del disco, es una de las 9 canciones que van por libre, respira otra atmósfera, hasta que el crescendo lírico e instrumental de la misma te atrapan de peor forma que las otras… estas de nuevo a merced de este diabólico ente. Y es que aun a día de hoy creo que este disco tiene algo de magia negra dentro…
"Classic Girl" cierra el conjunto de la mejor manera posible, con el grupo dando lo mejor de si… Navarro sacando a su guitarra las mejores notas posibles, Farrell poniendo su corazón en cada fraseo. Perkins aporta siempre el latido y el ritmo necesario en cada momento, por su parte Eric demuestra que sin su bajo, el alma de Jane's es otra.
Y llega el final, despiertas, extasiado, agotado y es que mas que un disco de música "Ritual de lo Habitual" es un viaje lisérgico a lo mas profundo de tu alma.
If you trip over 15 years with this album, just released, by one of those coincidences of life, I swear I will change your life forever ...These nine songs are extremely dangerous to a tremendous magnetism, almost magical. At that time, my weekly allowance for a cassette gave you a month or two, if you got an offer or any second-hand, you looked for four. So your small collection grew slowly.Nothing is put on the walkman and listen to the female voice advierténdonos danger we ran, I shivered ... And my pupils dilated to the maximum just to hear the riff from "Stop". The poison was already emerging effect ... There were no words to describe the feelings aroused by the voice of Farrell. Not the best singer in the world, but his singing caught me, I immediately engaged in translating the lyrics and there as if the effect was devastating ...As bad discs take out and do silly things, Jane's will always be one of my favorite bands. To grave.The rhythmic core strength had no equal, and not talk about Dave Navarro's guitar! The man was Jimi Hendrix for me and Jimmy Page together!"No one's leaving" is a shot! accelerated directly to the soul, everything is fitting as the song progresses. A song that mutates its shape, stretches and shrinks, plays with your brain until you just busting heads. These hooked until the end of your days, you will live hooked to this album.21 years after hearing it for the first time, still sounding current, cool magic is still intact. That's because some songs huge, supernatural, touched by the wand of a supernatural being. But it is also thanks to the excellent work in producing Dave Jerden."Is not No Right" begins with a speech by Farrell, really creepy sort of mantra that heat was recorded in my subconscious. Eric Avery, shows that low blood pumping is a group, is one of those bass lines, which are housed in the depths of your heart. It is an epic song, sublime, humans can not hear this song if your pulse is not altered.I believe and I say this sincerely, I fell in love for the first time to hear this record. And my love is eternal, never abandon us."Obvious" starts off, but once you get caught, once that happens, the melody of Perry, is tattooed on your skin ... Shout, jelly, sighs and shakes, it makes Perry's voice in this song. Dave's work here is sublime, his guitar has a thousand shades and pounding piano stabs you in the brain. All together is so great that makes you want to go outside naked and shout till you drop, ecstatic, died of happiness."Been Caught Stealing" is the closest thing to a commercial single ever recorded and record Jane's Addiction, unconsciously, this song is a siren song in the purest style of Homer's Odyssey.And we got to the B side, "Three Days" is the greatest song, epic, monumental, that the band ever recorded. It is a whole disk, a single song. Even today, I still find hidden nuances. Neither surplus nor lack nothing ... They are the most important 10:49 minutes of alternative rock's most important American history. I have little love for tattoos and stuff and I never, I'll do one for years but fantasize Three days tattooed somewhere on my body.There are no words to describe what I felt when I listened lying on my bed in the dark ... Lost in thought, lost in this sublime creation. He should be in a museum! In the Louvre, MOMA or Tate Modern ...After the emotional catharsis of "Three Days" is logical that a subject gets quiet, relaxed, "Then She Did" helps you to rejoin the real world without heart problems. Little is as dreamy as a shot of chloroform, relax your body and your soul numbing. The string arrangements on this song are spectacular, they create an atmosphere really overwhelming crescendo. Dotan to the song of a muscle and a hidden tension really harmful. One of those songs where everything is planned to the millimeter, everything fits perfectly creating a monster that devours you, steals your breath to take over your body and take you where you want ... the abyss."Of Course" with those violins airs phpBB © and Arabic, they warn that emotions are over, the roller coaster of emotions to the surface will continue to the end. With one of the best lyrics of the album, is one of the nine songs that go free, breathe another atmosphere, until the lyrical and instrumental crescendo it catch you in worse shape than the others ... these again at the mercy of this evil entity. And is that even today I think this album has some black magic within ..."Classic Girl" closes the set in the best way possible, with the group giving their best ... Navarro taking his guitar the best grades possible, Farrell putting his heart into every phrase. Perkins always brings the beat and rhythm necessary at all times, meanwhile Eric shows that without its low, the soul of Jane's is another.And reaches the final wake up, ecstatic, exhausted and is more than a music album "Ritual de lo Habitual" is a lysergic trip to the depths of your soul.
