About Nothing's Shocking- Jane's Addiction Tribute
There is little doubt among the rock community that the legendary alternative hard rock band Jane's Addiction earn high ranks as one of the most powerful and enigmatic bands in rock history. Jane's Addiction release of Nothing's Shocking - an album like no other then, and like few others now, as influential as it is. Many critics were puzzled in '88 upon first hearing those 11 songs. "A classic love 'em or hate 'em outfit," Rolling Stone observed. "The band is great. And it is also full of shit. Often at the same time."
As described on the band's own website, the music runs from proggy pomp ("Up the Beach"), to stripped-down, barking punk ("Idiot's Rule," "Had A Dad"), to thundering hard rock ("Mountain Song," "Ocean Size"). It's dubby and doomy one moment ("Ted Just Admit It," which features samples of dialogue from serial killer Ted Bundy) and sweet and pastoral the next ("Summertime Rolls"). There's whimsy inside ("Standing in the Shower Thinking"), hilarity, too (the faux lounge-jazz of "Thank You Boys"), and... there's "Pigs In Zen." How does one even describe "Pigs in Zen" except to ask, "What other songs are like ‘Pigs in Zen?'" Oh, yes, and it also contains modern rock's "Free Bird" - the sad, sweet, and eternal "Jane Says," a steel-drum-driven pop gem that everyone can sing along to. The riff and the chorus are in our DNA a quarter-century on.
