4.0 out of 5 starsNothing like "Doubt", but stands on its own just the same
By EJ Honda on February 1, 2007
Format: Audio CD
Don't buy this CD expecting to hear "Doubt, Part 2". And if you're looking to experience Jesus Jones for the first time, go buy "Doubt" instead, as it holds a wider appeal than this album will. But if you like a harder edge to your electronica, "Perverse" will be the better starting point.

As others have mentioned, this is not the NIN Lite sound that Jesus Jones brought to bear on the "Doubt" album. The music is loud, abrasive, and when you listen closely and analyze it, it's entertaining and clever. This album's packaging was perfect in so many ways, in that the title and the cover image truly represented the hard sound contained within. Missing are the catchy tunes that made "Doubt" so infectious, but "Perverse" works on its own in several ways. It's a good album to pull out when you're in a cynical mood, the hard-hitting music will feed into your angst. "Magazine" is probably my favorite song on the album, but there are other very strong tracks that help fill this album out and make it an overall enjoyable collection. And if you can figure out "Yellow Brown", then send me a note and clue me in!

There are a few albums I've pulled out from my late 80's and early 90's collection, and like many others, this was one I was fully prepared to listen to again and realize that time had not been kind to it. However, I found myself falling for it all over again, and it took a few months for the effects to wear off. It's a solid effort. And as long as you don't expect it to be in the same vein as "Doubt" (as so many have, as evidenced by the 170+ copies for sale used here, or perhaps they made the same mistaken assumption I did after years of gathering dust), then you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 starsPioneers
By Consumer HD on August 10, 2005
Format: Audio CD
When Jesus Jones first hit the airwaves in 1991 with Right Here, Right Now I thought they had an interesting sone with a cool hook. I bought the album and thought it was ok at best. When Perverse came out in 93 I bought it to see if they had anything else worth listening to. I was floored!! In a time when electronica was just starting to do something interesting Jesus Jones blew everything away with Perverse. This album was at least 5 years ahead of it's time. In my opinion it could be released today and still kick ass. Too bad most of the listening public didn't give them a chance after Doubt. Everyone missed out.

5.0 out of 5 starsMarvelous
By Brian Crump on March 6, 2014
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I thoroughly enjoyed Doubt but Perverse is a techno masterpiece. I think this album was intended for the more hardcore, underground techno scene. As one reviewer stated, it was definitely several years ahead of it's time. While Doubt was more pop oriented and intended for radio play, Perverse pulsates with a harder edge but still maintains the blissful sound of Doubt. In a sense Perverse is the stronger of the two albums because you get the best of both worlds. It's too bad it suffered from the sophomore jinx and didn't get the promotion and exposure it deserved. Possibly because the general public wasn't ready for this type of sound. Zeroes and Ones, The Right Decision and the beautifully sublime and blissful Yellow Brown really round out this record as a techno-rock masterpiece. But honestly there's really no weak songs on this album so it's really up to you to decide which songs you think are the best. Perhaps Perverse will be revisited in the future when humans are traveling through interstellar space.

4.0 out of 5 starsIf you don't have this album, you're missing out.
By M. Tillman on July 25, 2005
Format: Audio CD
This album includes at least one track (if not more) that stands above Right Here, Right Now, Jesus' best known (if not only) song. There's enough hooks to satisfy Right Here fans, and tracks like Get a Good Thing, The Right Decision, and Don't Believe It, easily prove Jesus Jones was more than (or at least should've been) a one hit wonder. Mike Edwards' vocals (especially on 'Get'), the songwriting, and the production is easily Jesus Jones' best work to date.

5.0 out of 5 starsTruly great
By A Customer on March 5, 2003
Format: Audio CD
The reviewer here who believes that Jesus Jones peaked with Doubt is also probably of the opinion that Pearl Jam should stop ripping off Creed's style. This is the best JJ album. They manage to pull off what so many have tried and failed at, melding genres from techno to metal, and in doing so, sound like they've invented a new form of rock and roll. Buy this - it kicks arse.

5.0 out of 5 starsJesus Jones' best CD
By A Customer on April 24, 2002
Format: Audio CD
This is, by far, Jesus Jones' best CD. It's more techno oriented than their other releases, and really rocks too. I like Doubt, but if all their CDs were retreads of that then they'd be called the Fixx. And like the Fixx their songs would be instantly recognizable and just as quickly forgettable.

5.0 out of 5 starsAfter 19 years, it's still a great album!
By N. Rosario on January 29, 2011
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I bought this CD when it first came out back in 1992 and I loved it almost instantly. That CD got lost at some point over the years and I kind of forgot about it; but after buying another copy and listening to it again, nearly 2 decades later, it still feels as fresh and energetic as it did back then. In fact, listening to some of the lyrics today, in 2011, you have to wonder if these guys were looking into a crystal ball when they were recording this album. Especially songs like "Zeroes and Ones" and "Magazine" which feel even more relevant today in the internet age, than they did back in the early-1990s. It's probably the very fact that this CD was so ahead of it's time that it never really achieved any critical or popular success back in '92. It's been totally overlooked and almost completely lost over the years (the songs aren't even available as MP3 downloads here on Amazon or on iTunes); but it deserves so much more than to be lost to the annals of music history. Pick it up today, you won't be disappointed!

5.0 out of 5 stars"Perverse" rises above Jesus Jones' "Doubt" in nearly every way.

It's unfortunate that there isn't a solid, radio-friendly single on "Perverse" from Jesus Jones. This is an excellent example of early 1990's techno-pop. Read more

With Perverse, Mike Edwards set out to prove that Jesus Jones was more than a `sunny, breezy pop band', what he ended up proving was that if they weren't no one was interested. Read more
