toddjAug 30, 2006Like all other masterpieces of the 21st century The panic channel is both groundbreaking, and breath taking. Albums such as Kid A and Hotel Yankee Foxtrot are definately comparable. In many years to come this album will be referenced upon. An alternative rock touchstone

NiceShoesSep 10, 2006I am sick of people putting this into a box before they actually use their ears. Jane's split up, get over it. New band, new concept, fresh ideas. Steve's voice is haunting. Only buy this album if you are actually going to LISTEN to it. By using your ears.

HervéHAug 23, 2006Good songs, beautifukk killer songs ( bloody mary and whyCry ) You keep it in mind once you've heared it. And I like mister Isaacs voice AND it's definitively not Jane's Addiction , Well Done, Dave!

AndrewLSep 6, 2006It dosn't deserve all this negativity at all. It's not the best album ever made but it's certainly not THAT bad.

frederikv.Sep 9, 2006It's Good but it's not like a revelation or something. I hear 4 really good musicians, a good songwriter but probebly (and most important for rockbands) a great live act. The songs are all good and have that typical jane's add caché to it (wich was to be expected :) ) but the vocal is totally different. If they ever tour europe i'll go check em for sure..!

MartinSDec 27, 2006I think this is pretty good. "Teahouse of the spirits", "Left to Lose", "Bloody Mary", "Night One" and "Listen" are all good songs. "Why Cry" is pretty bad though. They should have left it off.

ChrisBJan 23, 2007An average album at best, the only main saving point being Dave Navarro, who has worked with ayone and everyone from The Red Hot Chili Peppers to Guns N' Roses. A nice attempt at an album, but only worth a listen when you're in the mood

jerrybAug 25, 2006This is a very boring Channel!!! It is not easy to explain that 50% lets say 75% of Jane's Addiction is in this band... Because this Channel sounds like utter CRAP. I can't beleive the bandmembers themselves seriously thinks that only one of these songs is great.... Sorry for Dave and Steven to throw away their special talents on this, I hope, One MISTAKE.

JoeBFeb 1, 2007this cd is really bad. it shows what happens when you dumb down stephen perkins part and audition a chris cornell wannabe

MattD.Sep 14, 2006Not terrible. But fails to make you feel ANYTHING, which can be worse.

QWilsonOct 1, 2006The reason people hate this album is NOTHING to do with it being 'different' to Jane's Addiction. If you totally ignore anyone's previous work and take this album at face value, fact is, it is BAD. It's simply BAD MUSIC. Avoid this tosh. It's the worst album I've ever bought. Generic as hell.

SandraASep 2, 2006Perhaps the worst release of 2006. Everyone involved with this should be embarrassed.

[Anonymous]Apr 22, 2008Anyone who has to use 'Avril Lavigne' as why this album is good automatically has an invalid opinion. This album is disgusting.

NathanOct 21, 2006this album really lacks quality and depth

SarahK.Aug 22, 2006Poor lyric writing, boring songwriting, dated sound, etc. etc. Steve Isaacs is easily the weak link with this band. Why he was picked for this band, we may never know. Hopefully they will be (ONe) and done, so people will not have to put up with this kind of mediocrity in the future.

sethdSep 9, 2006Jane's Addiction was a throbbing living organism of dangerous, psychocosmic rock. The best there ever was, as displayed on Ritual de lo Habitual. The Panic Channel is a dull, limp mass of wet fur on the side of rock and rolls most traveled highway. This may be the most unimportant album since that time the guys who sing the "Friends" theme song cut a record, if not ever.

timfSep 13, 2006Dave Navarro's new band asks Why Cry? with their new single. Why? Because your album is pop and awful. U have lost all originality

ChuckLJan 19, 2007This disc is so terrible. If I ever see Dave or Steve Isaacs walking around SLO, I'm going to KTFO of both of them for putting out this garbage.

MadJackApr 21, 2007Navarro, though a good guitarist, is commercial cheese. This band is commercial cheese. Tailored to appeal to women that pine after bad boy rocker types. Anyone with a set below the belt will find it over-dramatic and contrived. Nothing new or original, visceral or inspiring here.

BenSep 13, 2006Why would anyone ever listen to this. It is the worst album I have heard all year. They do a mediocre job of playing bad songs and they are so unoriginal that it could be elevator music. Bad elevator music.

For those listeners who pine for a world when Seven Mary Three received heavy rotation, this will satisfy, but anybody expecting the spark of Jane's Addiction or even a dose of Navarro's campy on-camera charm will be sorely disappointed.

Alternative PressThe result: a CD without hooks, impressive guitar pyrotechnics, or anything else, really. [Sep 2006, p.226]

It's hard to believe these men were once innovators.
