    (One) is a good rock album that likely could have been great if not for lack of a solid lead single and anything resembling overall coherence in its thematic overtones.

When I got afterwards was some of the the most mundane rock songs that make concrete look like a live Led Zeppelin concert. There are few albums that make me this bored, but there is the redeemable quality that if you listen to this you don't have to buy zzzquil.

I have seen Jane's Addiction live, I have seen RHCP live MANY times, Grateful Dead, etc.. I can honestly say that The Panic Channel is AMAZING live and if you didn't appreciate this album then you should probably go back and listen to it while inebriated with alot of hot girls dancing around you.. lighten up people.. this music is incredible, I would challenge you to make something that can even come close to matching it's beautiful delicate and forceful nature.. --verylittledaylight.… Full Review »
