I heard parts of this album over the last two years and I always thought it was a rightful successor to JA. When I received it in the mail and poped it in my CD player it blew me away. This is one of the best albums ever recorded and does truly show who helped to create the atmospheric feel in JA and Deconstructions. As one reviewer stated that this is a "beautiful record" and I fully agree. Better than STRAYS and richer than any ferrel/pyro/janes album to date. I really hope something new comes out of the Polarbear's creative force. Thanks to eric and the guys of Polarbear!

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING!!!, February 26, 2004

Having had this cd for over a year (previous release through PB website) I can honestly say it STILL hasen't left my cd player. Just like the other reviewers said (and rightfully so) that Eric A. ws the true creative force behind Jane's Addiction. I have so much respect for him especially after he turned down Perry's offer to do a reunion tour. He stays true to his artistic vision therfore creating a BEAUTIFUL CD. They actually broke up a while ago but one can only hope (with the re-release of this cd) they get back together and tour. GREAT job ERIC keep it up!!!

i bought this album online from iuma in '99 and it has been in constant rotation in my playlist for the last 5 years. it is the best post-JA album i have heard, and after listening to this album i realized that eric avery was a much larger contributor to the JA's sound than i had ever thought before.
