Deconstruction (Full Album)

[@bleeone]

After all these years… no re- issues, a and couple of blog tributes aside…. this masterpiece has existed almost exclusively on YT for 15 years now. This entire record still holds up today better than most of the Jane’s catalog. What would it take to get Dave and Eric and any drummer out for ONE tour? One festival? One show?

[@mattynutrition9353]

I've got this CD and never letting it go. It is such a hidden gem.

[@jayteesgear]

Fully agree.

[@BruceBowman42]

Well I guess the OG band is making a new album

[@bleeone]

@@BruceBowman42 I heard it’s Bar Mitzvah and wedding songs…

[@PoliceBoy465]

a release pn vinyl would be amazing. Definitely overdue.

[@TiltingStarz]

Knocked me off my feet back in 1996 and STILL does today. This sounds just as good as it did back then!! Timeless time capsule.

[@jayteesgear]

💯

[@MUSICjm2024]

me too. I listen to it in whole or by song at least once a day.

[@laurisaarinen1126]

This album gives me a high i still have not found anywhere else. Except some Jane's tracks like Three Days or Then She Did, something from Polarbear... It's got to involve Eric Avery. Thank you for posting this because it's not on Spotify and not talked about among most music fans. I stumbled upon it while listening to Jane's on youtube and it changed the way i listen to music... Well JA did in general but this album is almost buried in the past and it's transcending. So glad i got to buy a physical copy of it!

[@grifftrain]

Lauri…. “Three Days” is an awesome track. Kind of like a musical journey

[@NeilRobicheau]

I consider this to be some of Dave’s best work. The layering is amazing.

[@nxcess9046]

Everything DN touches turns to gold, but yeah, this one more than anything imo 🤘

[@sartavin]

If you were there at the time, you know. If you are just discovering this album now, welcome--this is one of the great unsung albums of the Alternative era, released right as the corporate vultures were picking the corpse clean. I picked up a tape of it upon release while in college and near wore it out with repeat plays; listening to it now, I'm really struck by the sheer volume of creativity Dave and Eric muster when sober and free of Jane's and all its baggage. I also like that it's *not* a JA album; the drums give it a different feel and Eric's singing has its own particular quality when watched with the frankly brilliant lyrics.

[@fhumperdink8897]

One of the best that 98 percent of the music lovers will never hear.

[@dogboydar1202]

[@johnnyderrickson9575]

I love this album! There are 24 people who obviously don't know a classic when they hear it...

[@joeschmo4170]

The greatest bass/guitar album of all time imo.

[@Michael_Birk]

I don't know if I would say that, but I don't blame anyone who does say it. I just found it three weeks ago and I want to listen to it everyday. Almost shrugged it off because of the vocals, the 'Big Sur' came on. I listened to the whole record, then listened again. Then again the next day. And I'm not one who does that.

[@thelmadickinson2740]

I love the variety of sounds in this! It’s at an intersection of so many styles I love.

[@number1mouse]

This is a lost gem. Fucking 1000000% amazing. I would’ve loved to hear this live.

[@JasonPressley-d3m]

You are correct

[@JasonPressley-d3m]

When I bought this on cassette back in the early 90's, I think It stayed in my cassette deck for at least a month. Well as month and years past it fell outta my memory (which wasn't too difficult if u knew the quantity of drugs I did in the 90's). Well last week something clicked and I immediately went on a hunt for it. Now, about 26 years later it's top of the list in my mp3 files.its still like a watering hole for musical ideas.

[@jaywhiz5031]

I bought this album the day it came out and I still listen to it now. Eric Avery was and still is, the dark creative force behind Jane's (version 1). I only wish they had toured for this. Wait For History is my fave track. I love the guitar slide before the reintro verse at the end.

[@leighlimbrick9375]

Eric A's bass lines were the foundations ::)

[@msmeyersmd8]

“When Dirty Sidewalks, Become Sheet Rock. And History Becomes Geology.” That is imprinted into my brain. I didn’t need to look it up.

[@ChudReinhold]

Eric's bass definitely is the best part. I can't describe it. It's like sexy/melancholy/bottle of wine deep/feeling alright.

[@808fergus]

M A S T E R P I E C E ! ! Dave Navarro and Eric Avery with drummer Michael Murphy shred and blister a musical landscape.

[@avedic]

How in god's name have I not heard this till now?!? I'm a HUGE Jane's fan....and thought I had obtained and listened to every obscure tangential bit of music connected to that band. But somehow I missed this entirely. I've always thought Dave is pretty underrated. The thing I love most about his style....is the LACK of the usual blues-based minor pentatonic sound. Sure, he goes for that sometimes. But more often he plays with *_major_* key tonalities...suspended 2nd and 4ths, 6ths, major 7ths...etc. It gives his sound a really pretty kinda cosmic vibe that balances out the rhythmic quasi-metal riffing. Just a very unique approach to guitar that I don't think he gets enough credit for.

[@coreyandjen316]

Yeah. Me and my brother have rocked this album forever. One of the best musical products ever.. definitely top 50

[@Posit_Zero_Blue]

I'll say it...Dave and Eric made an better album than they ever did with Jane.

[@dunston666]

Had no idea what the CD looked like, but knew it existed. Always checked second-hand stores in the hope that one day I'd find it. Then in a small town in France, saw a shop and thought 'Why not have a look?' Flicked through and saw something that had no name on the front, so picked it up and checked the spine.... Oh my god. I found one! Had i not picked it up, then i would have not known what it was - one of my most prized CDs for sure. An absolute classic.

[@ribeyesoftheworld2590]

Taylor Hawkins had been trying to get them to tour. Such a sad loss all around

[@iggsrgreen]

I remember when this 1st came out its all i would listen to, Dave & Eric were onto something completely all their own ! Sure would like to hear them do another recording together you guys were writing music that was and still is so unique.

[@Eric-vd7ne]

To anyone reading this who cares or doesn't already know Aaron Gillbreath did a great article about this band on substack. Great read

[@bethanylagina8861]

I just came to comments to see if anyone else read Aaron’s substack! I could NOT believe I stumbled across it. The fact that Taylor Hawkins volunteered in 2021 to play with Eric and Dave to finally play that cd live just brought me to tears!

[@warborn_inc.]

@@mondoshredder5783 I dont know if this is 100% accurate. I have heard both Eric and Dave say that they had plans to tour and possibly future releases but Navarro got recruited by the Chili Peppers right as this album was being released. They released a video for L.A. Song in fact...but since Navarro was already committed to a new band...the video got no major release and was only shown on MTV once or twice to my knowledge. I'm sure they didnt press a ton of copies but I believe they had potential future ideas in mind. When I met Avery in 2002 I mentioned this album and he said "well...what could have been right?" Which is a totally ambiguous answer. Either way. Its a phenomenal album that deserves a bigger audience

[@Posit_Zero_Blue]

Honestly...I'd just be happy with a reunion EP or something. This is one of the most amazing albums that apparently not many people have heard of. I still play it for friends today...when I tell them when it was released I always get a look like "why have I not heard this before?"

[@JaneLame]

Michael Murphy kind of disappeared and nobody’s been in touch with him. A journalist named Aaron Gilbreath published a series of articles about this album, and was unable to track down Murphy (he did speak to Avery and Navarro though). The recently deceased Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins was a huge fan of Deconstruction too, and tried to arrange for shows with himself filling in for Murphy, but it didn’t happen somehow. I still think it’s one of the most brilliant things ever recorded.

[@grizzle7935]

Could you imagine One Hot Minute without that singer shitting it up?

[@FruitCakeReaper]

@@grizzle7935 Very true - musically great album. Kieldis pinned the blame on Navarro even tho he himself was by far the weakest link - couldnt sing.

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

@@FruitCakeReaperhe couldn’t sing yet he made a career out of singing? lol. It was the chemistry that was off. Anthony’s voice sounds great, within the limits of certain kinds of music namely Hendrix influenced funk which John Frusciante was a master at. Notice Hendrix music was a lot of talk singing. Anthony was a better talk singer than Hendrix, had a great timbre albeit no range. Blood sugar, amazing album.

[@FruitCakeReaper]

@@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec this was the first time Kieldis was forced to "sing, sing". The vocals ended up being very monotoned and drawn out droning at times. It made the album darker and more twisted but musically by far the weakest part of the album. Navarro changed how Kieldis had to approach the songs as Navarro wasnt straight funk like all them before him. Navarro has a more interesting, varied and dynamic approach to his riffs. I think Kieldis resented that and that is his "lack of chemistry" a long with Navarros equally big ego. Kieldis would rather hear only the good things from Flea and John and im sure he can bully them around tactfully lol. Anyway thats just my opinion, i aint changing it like you dont have to change yours. Lol

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

@@FruitCakeReaper I actually agree with you. Navarro was used to Perry , a much more melodic singer with quite a range. Navarro was never a funk player so it was a strange pairing with the peppers. Navarro was into metal, classic rock, and goth, which fit perfectly with Eric and Perry’s sensibilities, sharing classic rock and goth but also meshing the indie stuff. Funk didn’t work with Navarro style and i agree with your take. A better singer could have made those Navarro guitar tracks something better, more interesting. However, a band is supporting the lead singer essentially. Anthony wasn’t wrong to have an ego as do all lead singers. If their backing isn’t supporting them to sound the best they can be,then they should eff off.

[@iggsrgreen]

Here I am again almost 10 years since I last commented about this band and the music. After all this time this album still stands the test of time.

[@seancelia]

In the “anything goes” mindset that was the 90s music industry, some genuine pieces of high art managed to get produced. This is definitely one of them and I believe with every fiber of my being that if they managed to get together and tour just to play this record front to back live that all of us would be there, instantly transported back nearly 30 years ago.

[@msmeyersmd8]

“Blue screen water. It’s just a backdrop. It’s not an Ocean anymore. It’s just a backdrop. Now come on.” Tracks 1, 11 and 13 do it for me. But the others are more subtle insight into the composer’s world. I lived in LA from 1980-1984. So I got some of it. Not as deep as the composer. As I had a way out planned in advance. I left there without feeling a deep sense of personal loss. Except for one lovely woman, I have never regretted leaving LA.

[@cordmckeithen7075]

Been listening to this since 1997 when I discovered it (already three years old). This is PROOF that Perry Farrell was NOT what made Jane's Addiction go.

[@peterpandemonium3032]

I have heard in recent years that Eric was the driving force behind JA's first albums. This album pretty much bears that theory out. I wonder how great this would have been as the backbone of Jane's fourth album, but fuck it, it's magnificent and sublime and damn near perfect. Just wish I'd had the chance to see it live. Way better than anything any of them have done since.

Tbh I think perry would have changed it, or not allowed it at all. Most of Jane's catalogue was written when they all got along in like 1986. This is the sound of Eric and Dave untethered to all of that. And as much as I love the tribal mysticism the Perkins brought to Jane's, these songs sound better (and more experimental) with the completely different drum style.
