Critical reception

Trouser Press wrote that "while Deconstruction can claim a few decent songs and Dave Navarro’s dazzling guitar work, the album is ruined by utterly toneless vocals — both Navarro and bassist Eric Avery are credited, but whomever is doing the singing makes former bandmate Perry Farrell sound like Pavarotti."[5] PopMatters called the album "terribly underrated."[6] Exclaim! wrote: "Deconstruction is an ethereal and evolving affair, containing both Eric and Dave's stringed histrionics and ever-morphing jams, yet again lacks the edge of Jane's Addiction, and meanders when it should rock, almost to the point of being lackadaisical."[1]

Personnel
gollark: Yes, that is very bad code.
gollark: The official docs are like apioforms then; async IO is just trendier.
gollark: Imagine using threads instead of utter asynchronicity.
gollark: Probably because it's mostly GCed and such.
gollark: Yes, I find myself more productive in Nim in general for unfathomable reasons.
