Strays early version?
I readon the .org site that Leaked early versions of this album have a much more rough and natural sound that Jane’s Addiction is known for, and some fans prefer the leaked recordings over the final product.
Is this true and why didn't I know about this? can someone shed some light and a title or maybe even a download?

Re: Strays early version?
yes there is an early version. i like it better. back when xiola was around some guy came on and said that he had the album early. sonny called bullshit and the guy sent it to him. sonny made the famous post and review that "you guys will fucking love this album". he shared it with dain and told him not to share it. of course dain gave it to everyone. i don't have it on my computer anymore or i would upload it. i'm sure someone has it.
Re: Strays early version?
Yep. That version of True Nature is the best song any of these guys has done in years.
Re: Strays early version?
i know there are two versions of the leaked album.
these also have martyn on them before chris chaney came in and re recorded them.
one of them also had "bring the mood" on it.

Re: Strays early version?
Ive got it somewhere. True Nature end is really good. The version of To Match The Sun without that shitty voice over at the start is much better also. Forgot about that. Good to listen to it again.
Re: Strays early version?
a couple songs are on youtube
Re: Strays early version?
the riff in True Nature is still pretty lame no matter what version it is, but the breakdown guitar in that song is very very good. Very cool chordal work

Re: Strays early version?
I should have this somewhere....I remember liking the extended Riches. Not sure if that's on the released version...
Re: Strays early version?
i have such a bad memory....but wasn't there another strays era song that leaked that had a dog barking in the beginning just like bcs??
Re: Strays early version?

Re: Strays early version?
Man I don't remember the songs sounding this stripped down
Re: Strays early version?
I've never liked TMTS. That's a True Nature demo right? With different lyrics. I thought the Hypersonic leaked version was the same as Strays but it the longer ending?

Re: Strays early version?
Wow! Thank you for so much information. Well I've basically put strays out of my mind for years, many years, but I listened to it the other day and it was just what I remembered, pretty lame and generic. If someone has the early version I'd love to hear it cause anything has got to be better that the released version.

While looking for my copy of Hypersonic I came across this gem than I totally forgot existed:

Re: Strays early version?
TMTS sounds similar to the more dreamy airy parts of RDLH at times.
What could have been...........

Re: Strays early version?
Same here. Although that excitement was quickly tempered by the "meh" '02 NYE show where they played Hypersonic and at least one other Strays album song that didn't exactly indicate the new album was going to be anywhere as good as the previous stuff.creep wrote:i remember getting pretty excited when i got that.Six7Six7 wrote:While looking for my copy of Hypersonic I came across this gem than I totally forgot existed:

Also, I don't recall the Chipmunks/Etty spoken "pillow" bit though that's in this version of the holiday greeting.
Re: Strays early version?
yep that show sucked...hypersonic, price i pay a shitty suffer some and a bad clash cover followed by etty toasting us at midnight...refused to see them again till eric came back and then just once then nevermore
Re: Strays early version?
I remember being pretty psyched for the album. I did like True Nature, Strays, and Just B/C when it first came out. But I stopped listening very soon after I bought it. I also saw the 03 show at Irving Plaza and it was a little dull. I then saw them at Lolla 03 and knew it would soon be over. It just didn't seem like Janes at all. Lame glam shit. The subsequent tours (Ninja, even TGEA, and the recent shows) were far better in my opinion.

Re: Strays early version?
Strays is about 98% bad. Although the outro of price I pay is cool because it inexplicably sounds like PFP. Just because also gets a pass from me because a.) it has cool guitar work, and b.) the lyrical content is in line with perry's childlike naïveté from 1.0.
Other than that, it's all pretty much modern rawk shlock.

Re: Strays early version?
I listened to Strays yesterday. Can't say it's aged well or not, it still is what it was, Jane's attempt at being a KROCK band. No art or punk vibe. The worst is that generic riff in True Nature, it reminds me of the heavy part in 311's first shitty single.

Indeed. Ezrin is "classic" rock and kinda depressing for Jane's album...blackula wrote:I listened to Strays yesterday.

Don't know why but in True Nature I can hear "Sabotage" intro of Beasties Boys...
Re: Strays early version?
Yep, I thought it really sounded like Jane's. I was very psyched. Seemed to be picking up right where 1.0 had left off. To say that it was misleading would be quite the understatement. Even that very portion of the song on the album track sounded like garbage compared to what was done on that little snippet.Pandemonium wrote:Same here.creep wrote:i remember getting pretty excited when i got that.Six7Six7 wrote:While looking for my copy of Hypersonic I came across this gem than I totally forgot existed:

Imagine if they'd actually come out and killed it with an incredible album. That's what you'll have to do. Imagine.
