Jane's Addiction isn't the first band on this List to equate shock value with quality music. Actually, it's a pretty minor offender compared to some of the more egregious examples on the List, but take a look at that album cover. Cue well-practiced eye roll sequence.
As I have said many times before, I am not a metal fan. You would think the late 80s would then be my safe space, but I guess not. Thankfully, this was more "alternative metal" so I was able to enjoy it more. Many of the songs had an unexpected softness to them that I appreciated. I particularly liked "Jane Says."
Predictably, this band fell to drugs and in-fighting, which is a shame. Only one more album for 1988!
RATING: 3/5
