TODAY’S YESTERDAY ALBUM – ‘Nothing’s Shocking’ – 2nd LP by JANE’S ADDICTION
Remarkable albums from the past…
‘Nothing’s Shocking’ by JANE’S ADDICTION
Released: 23 August 1988 / Second longplayer
ALL MUSIC wrote: “Although Jane’s Addiction’s 1987 self-titled debut was an intriguing release (few alternative bands at the time had the courage to mix modern rock, prog rock, and heavy metal together), it paled in comparison to their now classic major-label release one year later, Nothing’s Shocking. Produced by Dave Jerden and Jane’s Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell, the album was more focused and packed more of a sonic wallop than its predecessor; the fiery performances often create an amazing sense that it could all fall apart at any second, creating a fantastic musical tension.” Score: 5/5 – Full review here
