Not sure I completely get your post but I'll reply anyway.

For me the test of whether I like a piece of music or not is whether or not I crave to hear it.
With that in mind it was only last week that I spent some time digging around for the ETTL video to watch.
So for me at least it's not getting old and if anything it has grown on me.

Whether or not the band have faith in themselves?
I think this is silly but maybe I'm just misunderstanding your post.
Personally I can't see the band creating new music and doing shows if they had.
To me they seem on task and really happy doing what they are doing.
At least that's what I think when I watch or read the interviews of late.

Bottom line ETTL is only one of what will probably be about ten songs on the new record.
If you don't like it hopefully you'll like the other nine.

I think it's a safe bet it will have at least something on there for even the most critical...from what I've heard

Not for nothing, but I think that humanoid meant to write, "their fate" and not "there faith"...at least the post makes more sense if read as such...

And, Mike...I agree with you, man...if a certain song speaks to you, that's what really does it...I just hope the new album is a reflection of the same innovation as was demonstrated in their albums in their early days. I haven't been too impressed with the live perfomances that I've heard from '11. Poor Perry sounds a little haggard, and the rest of the band (except Perkins) seem to be going through the motions...

The real question with the new album is:

Will it start with Perry shouting "Here we go" like all the previous studio albums?? +

[Mescal]

I never made that connection?! Nice find

Jane's Addiction To Release Album Of New Songs, The Great Escape Artist
The Great Escape Artist Is the Band's fourth studio work over 23 years
By Matt Rowe, Columnist
August 6, 2011

Jane’s Addiction has traveled over many roads. From the edgy wilds of the LA stage though the swamps of world fame; from stunning starts to messy breakups, the band that startled a rock public with their major label debut, Nothing’s Shocking, in 1988, rose to gain the affection and attention of fans.

Slow to start, Shocking soon became a classic, critically hailed, filled with enduring songs. From “Jane Says,” the biographical song about Perry Farrell’s hopelessly drug-addicted roommate with needs far beyond the chemicals that swam through her body, to the big sound of “Mountain Song,” Jane’s Addiction (also named for the same roommate) became a hugely influencial.

The high energy band was formed in 1985 by Perry Farrell, who brought in guitarist, Dave Navarro; bassist, Eric Avery; and drummer, Stephen Perkins. Before long, their wild performances in LA became legendary. Within a few short years after their formation, and after the release of a live album on indie label Triple X, the band was signed to Warner Brothers Records resulting in the issue of Nothing’s Shocking.

In 1990, the band released their second album, Ritual de lo Habitual, with its multiple covers and massive hit "Been Caught Stealing." One released cover depicted frontal nudity, with another designed to appease stores that would refuse to carry the controversial original, simply replacing the original cover with text that quoted the freedom of speech First Amendment of the US Constitution. Also on the album were “Stop!” and “Three Days.”

With increasing internal strife and Navarro’s heroin addiction, the band would soon break-up after an immense supporting tour for the album. From there, Farrell and Perkins formed the popular Porno For Pyros band, and more firmly establish the enduring Lollapalooza Festival, realized during the band’s final days of their first iteration.

But Jane’s Addiction was a band not to be denied. The band would reform, split again, and reform a third time. They released their third album, Strays, in 2003. On September 27, the band will release their fourth album, The Great Escape Artist. The album, like the announcement of Strays, is highly anticipated. With just three studio albums released over 15 years, and with The Great Escape Artist furthering that span to a period of an unbelievable 23 years, it is amazing the power this band yields in the hearts of their still quite solid fan base.

Time will tell if The Great Escape Artist matches the brilliance of their previous three. So far, the band has been unable to match the intensity of their Nothing's Shocking debut, but I would never doubt Jane's Addiction.
