Porno For Pyros by Porno For Pyros

Pros: An Excellent Debut from Perry Farrell and Co.
Cons: Jane's Addiction Comparisons and Short at Under 40 Minutes.

In the year 1991, the hair-metal scene along with corporate schlock pop of the 80s and early 90s were starting to decline as the underground music scene of the 1980s was finally breaking through. One of the bands responsible for Alternative Rock’s...

Pros: Perry Farrell's voice is good, and the funky alternative music rocks at times.
Cons: Perry Farrell's lyrics can be dumb and some of the music is pretty forgettable.

"These thoughts I have seem to pass me by, like a cloud" goes the opening cut, "Sadness," of Porno For Pyros self-titled 1993 release.

These songs by Perry Farrell and company seem to do the same at times.

I like Perry, and after 10...

Pros: Its Perry Farrell, the voice, the genius behind Jane's Addiction
Cons: It is not Jane's Addiction

After reading the review on here, i just had to write one myself. While nothing can ever compare to the genuis of Jane's addiction, i think that this Porno cd, is a pretty good one. It still has the funky beats and of course Perry's amazing voice. In...

Pros: rocking, spacy, meditative, great drums and instruments
Cons: not as good as "Good God's Urge"

This right here is a great album. It seems to be a few steps away from Jane's Addiction; in my opinion, they didn't fully blossom until the "Good God's Urge" album in 1996.

But this album is very good. Its got everything that people liked about Jane's Addiction, plus some new stuff that these other guys bring to the table.

The song "Pets", the one everyone is familiar with, is a great song, but not even the best one on the album. My fave is the last track. Its a meditative, trance-like drum and bass thing, and Perry adds some great vocals.

This album straight up rocks hard, has a few spacy tunes, and like I said above, a few trance-like tunes.

I get the feeling like Perry's music is sometimes inspired by a weird take on the Cabbala, or whatever you call it.

I highly recommend this album.
