1 true nature: perry starts the song with "here we go!" a quick use of the phrase, not the slow one you have heard on "up the beach" and this song starts right away in a rocking guitar groove, with a repetitive bass line that drives the song right along. the lyrics to this song are dead on perry farrell "how you treat the weakest, yeah! true nature calling". there is a break down after the second chorus with the signature jane's slower "resting" part of the song while perry's wonderful voice slowly brings us back into the rocking groove of the song. the end of the song slows to a tribal rolling drum beat from stephen and perry singing us out "i got this feeling'/i'm gonna be let down". the ending very similar to the way "three days", but still different.

2 hypersonic: this song most have heard so i won't spend much time on it. it could easily be mistaken for a stooges song. i can hardly make out anything perry says in this song with the exception of the chorus. even with the almost punk beat of the drums, they manage to slow it down for a few seconds with a slow break in the middle, then a small build up and back into the original beat.

3 price i pay: this song has been described as the "three days" or epic song of the album. it is not that, but it is good. starting with a slow melody lead mostly by perry's voice. then an almost dead halt into a bass line that seems almost out of place, until it leads you into the song. the bass drives you with some clean guitar from dave and hard snapping beat from stephen. the chorus hits a lot harder, and then only the bass drum with perry yelling the chorus with more emotion than i thought could be accomplished on a recording. through another verse and chorus, and then a nice slow break down, with a bass line that sounds very much like a slow flea bass line. then bang right back into that dead bass line that drives through the verses, and then the final chorus where i swear perry is screaming the lyrics so much he sounds like he blew a vocal chord. perry exhibits true emtion in his lyrics in this song and ends it yelling "the price that i pay".

4 the riches: the song starts out sounding very much like a porno for pyros tune, until the chorus kicks in and dave comes in with his layers of guitar. and this chorus is so catchy, and perry nails it into you. i love this song, it is really good and the lyrics speak to you about a subject that seems like it would preachy, but the beautiful chrous puts you at easy and lets you absorb the song without realizing it. dave opens up nicely on the guitar solo for this song, it's only 10 secs or so, but it's signature dave. this could easily be a single, and a classic jane's song.

5 superhero: perry sings in almost a bep-bop style that he previously did on the "been caught stealing" on kettle whistle. and i gotta tell ya, i was thrown off, it's almost red hot chili peppers-ish, until the chorus kicks in and it's so sing along anthem like you will totally like it. there is a slight "beatlesque" break down after the second chorus. this will likely be everyone's least favorite, but it's still better than "bring the mood" which did not make the album. even at least favorite you will love this song, and you know what i mean. there's gotta be a least favorite

6 just because: this song is so nice. i am gonna compare it to "warped" by the chili peppers, just because...he he. but it has that rocking riff from dave and perry sings in that warped style. he is not all positivity like some, including me, expected him to be. perry is picking at someone with this song and that person knows exactly who they are. perry exhibits his great vocal ability in the recording studio on this track. dave's multi guitar track method is all over this song, i love when dave does his magic. stephen has a very rock drum beat to this song. this is a great song and good choice for the first single.

7 everybody's friend: when i first heard this song, i immmediatly was thrown back to deconstruction's "son", basic acoustic guitar starts out with perry singing in an almost mono-tone vocal style. the song continues with acoustic only through the first and second verses, with dave doing some lead electric here and there. after the second chorus, the tribal drum beat similar to classic girl starts, with perry chanting a bit. it sounds very much like a led zepplin acoustic song at this point with dave plucking out a twangy sounding guitar solo. now for my opinion on this song, it is a dead on call out to eric avery and it will be hard to convince me otherwise. once you read the lyrics you will see some of what i am speaking. perry seems to be saying we might not be best of friends, but we are good together. not to mention the fact that it is very similar to "son" from deconsruction. call me crazy it's my opinion, i could be totally wrong, but you must've known i would've though that.

8 strays: this song is most like the old school jane's addiction we know and love. i would swear eric avery played this bass line and they are covering it up perry's echoy vocals are all over this. stephen's drumming is very bohnamesque on this song, pouding it out with the driving bass line and the intermiddent guitar playing of dave. perry pushes his vocals to the limit on this song, much like 'price i pay' but more controlled. the only complaint on this song is dave's very tiny sounding guitar solo, it should be so much larger for this song, but maybe i have an early mix. let's hope. this song is another classic song, i could hear this song right next to 'ocean size' and 'had a dad'.

9 suffer some: you know this song, if you are a serious jane's fan. they have changed it some, as well as changed some of the lyrics a bit. it's basically the same, not quite as boppy as before, just a tad more rocking. i would have prefered a new song to this one, but it will fit in with the sound for new fans that have not heard the "demo" or "live" version of this song. the lyrics to this song are great, i have always loved this song, it really should ahve been the 10th song on ritual de lo habitual. i am already skipping this song, but again i had heard it before so for new fans it will be a very nice addiction to this album.

10 to match the sun: the song starts with a minute long intro of guitar building up with some electronic type sounds, keyboardish stuff that makes it very trippy style. right at 1:22 it kicks in hard. very much like true nature, but unlike true nature it gets slightly quieter for the chorus, and perry's magical voice floats through this chorus like it was destiny driving this song. the lyrics to this song are damn good, and will make the girls love this song just like perry is singing to them. i can see jane's fans running out to watch the sun set so they can match their heart with perry's and the chorus is godlike, this is why people think he is god, because of these kind of melodies and words matching up perfectly. i guarantee this song will be many people's favorite.

some words about the record as a whole. it fits so nice. the only song missing 'wrong girl' will fit right into place in the mix. the album flows just like "nothing's shocking" did and you can listen to it from start to finish without stop. this is definitly a rock record. it rocks much harder than any jane's record up to this point. there are no "of course" or "then she did..." art tunes on here. even the one and only acoustic song "everybody's friend" has a rock sound to it and very much a led zepplin feel to it towards the end of it. bob ezrin was a good thing, you can feel were these songs could have gone wrong, but production pulled them back in. surprisingly enough to me, at least half or more of the songs are driven by the bass line, just like a classic jane's addiction song. i am glad to say they stayed true to the signature jane's sound and even eric avery's biggest fan will like this record. this is a big sound record, the drum beats are classic perkins, but more of a rockish style. dave's guitar work is solid, and amazing at times. what is most amazing about dave is he knows when to play and when not to, he knows when someting is needed and when it is not, so as not to make this a huge guitar record. the classic layering that dave does is here but totally appropriate and very jane's addiction. perry's vocals are angelic and screaching at the same time, when you hear him sing the chorus to 'to match the sun' and then sing the chorus to 'price i pay', you will understand his godlike persona in the public. he is an amazing rock singer. and lastely the bass parts. i want to say martyn or chris were great, but i'm not sure who is where, and david j. supposedly played the bass on 'strays' and i suspect flea played bass on at least one tune. let me just say the bass lines were very jane's addiction in 90% of the spots. the lead in bass part to "price i pay" is out of nowhere and doesn't sound like jane's addiction, but that is the most obvious place. 'starys', 'to match the sun', and 'true nature' are most like older jane's bass lines.

that is so long, so i will just say, if you have any questions feel free to post them and i will answer what i can. i have no cover or credits to the album so don't ask for that, and i have posted the lyrics i could hear on the song.dex for you.
