I think bman was the only person who said they didn't like Maceo. I've always enjoyed Maceo. XXX is great...like a 9/10 for me. NS and Ritual are like 11/10 yo.trevor ayer wrote:first u dis maceo and now the xxx record .. holy shit!
Slow Divers is easily one of my favorite Jane's songs for sure. XXX should be re-released containing Slow Divers. Kettle Whistle is really high up there too in fact I love the studio version with Flea.this is like saying slow divers and kettle are their worst tracks when they are really some of their best tracks
I think it's a case where it would have been on a third album. Dave said something like that in the 90s. As with always having a kind of fun comedy number (Shower, BCS) they'd also have a kind of mellow somewhat Eastern psychedelic piece (Summertime Rolls, Of Course). It would have meant having two such pieces on one album had KW been on NS or RDLH. I wouldn't have had a problem with it, but I don't think it fits with the way they wanted the albums to flow.clickie wrote:Yeah I agree trevor, plus theres some great subject matter that flows along nicely on that first cd. I hold those covers done Janes style in higher regards though. I consider Rock and Roll into Sympathy the epic track you think its lacking. It's a shame they couldn't of found a spot for the original version of Kettle Whistle on one of the first two cds to avoid having 2 repeated songs.

This guy finds Jane's to be boring.Mescal wrote:And Maceo is an ok idea for a song. Like the drums and bass in the song, but it's hardly their best work.
And even though there's some great tunes on the XXX (Trip Away, Whores), I'm bored by their covers (Sympathy, Rock n Roll). Not that they're bad covers, but it gets boring after a few listens, and the originals are still better.
