On Ritual de lo habitual, Jane's Addiction reach for the sky with "Three Days", a sprawling, slow-blooming epic credited to all four of them: Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Eric Avery and Stephen Perkins. It starts in a hush and keeps climbing, the vocal drifting like incense smoke until the guitars break loose and the drums start hammering the whole thing toward ecstasy.
Farrell produced it with Dave Jerden, and they brought in outside color to deepen the trance: Charlie Bisharat on violin, John Philip Shenale on strings, Geoff Stradling on piano. It's the kind of song that makes the rest of the alternative rack sound like it's in a hurry.
