Editorial Review:
Cult heroes Jane's Addiction are the Grateful Dead for the should-I-be-a-punk-or-a-hippy-or-metal-head-or-just-get-high-and-become-one-with-the-music underground; so Kettle Whistle, the band's collection of live recordings, a few new songs, and B-sides from their two albums, would be as must-have for fans as all those Dead bootlegs--even if it sucked. This is definitely an album for the converted, and the extended jams and live ramblings would be hard to endure without a frame of reference. The electronic filler and robotic knob-twiddling on the new songs, "Kettle Whistle" and "So What," suggest that Jane's Addiction's breakup was well timed, but the demos and live cuts ooze the band's tremendous energy and chemistry. In the 1988 demo of "Ocean Size," Perry Farrell's charismatic, raspy howl mingling with Dave Navarro's screeching guitar sucks you into the music and sends you to an alternate groove-plane. --Megan O. Steintrager

Rating: - Kettle Whistle
This album is amazing, i love the recordings a lot more, and anyone who says this album isn't good as or as good as the studio lp's sucks and isnt a real jane's addiction or music fan!
Rating: - THE BEST
I don't care what people say. This is without a doubt the greatest album Jane's Addiction has ever released. I have a passion for live music, and this album really brings it forth. Kettle Whistle is my favourite song off of there, and after hearing it a few times, i realized it's the greatest JA song I have ever heard. That song and the live version of "Three Days" make this album complete. If those were the only 2 tracks on the CD I would still buy it. I don't see how this album only has a 4 star ... Read More
Rating: - Jane's Addiction - 'Kettle Whistle' (Warner Bros.)
'Kettle Whistle' is a great compilation of the band that runs 75 minutes in duration,giving the fan their money's worth.The 22-page full color booklet is jammed with interesting info and photos.I've ALWAYS been a big fan of JA and was quite taken away with the disc's four unreleased tracks,like "My Cat's Name Is Maceo","City","So What" and the sonic-blasting title cut "Kettle Whistle".There's sort of a mini-concert here,four songs recorded at a past gig at the Hollywood Palladium "Three Days","Ain't ...

Rating: - Good to add to your collection
Another live one from Jane's but I don't love it quite as much as their selt-titled live album. If you like Jane's, you will have heard most of these songs before. However, KETTLE WHISTLE and SLOW DIVERS within themselves make this album a must have. Besides, isn't fun to have like 4 different cds with JANE SAYS on it? (if you count Perry's REV album in addition to K.W, Nothings Shocking, and J.A's first album).
