Rev

Rev

One can't help but wonder what the other members of both Jane's Addiction and Porno for Pyros think of their erstwhile lead vocalist repackaging their hits into a collection bearing only his name. In that respect, the whole thing is a bit curious, but once you get past the presentation and into the music, it really becomes irrelevant. Particularly since the 16-song collection kicks off with two new tunes--the electronica-meets-rock jam of the title track and Farrell's drum & bass workout of the Led Zeppelin chestnut "Whole Lotta Love"--that clearly show it is indeed Farrell's genius that drove both his previous bands. The rest of the material, rather than just being a straight hits compilation, features some rarities and remixes ("Been Caught Stealing," Lou Reed's "Satellite of Love") alongside FM staples such as "Jane Says," "Stop," and "Pets." Rev is a complete musical package that freely ranges from dance music to hard rock to funk to psychedelia, all bearing the unmistakable stamp of Farrell's soaring, pixielike voice. --Adem Tepedelen
