Records]]. The album was preceded by the band's [[Jane's Addiction (album)|eponymous live debut album]]. ''Nothing's Shocking'' was well received by critics and peaked at number 103 on the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]], eventually being certified platinum by the [[RIAA]]. The single "[[Jane Says]]" reached number six on the [[Hot Modern Rock Tracks|''Billboard'' Modern Rock Tracks]] in 1988, although the album was subject to censorship due to its cover and the music video for the second single, "Mountain Song". It received a nomination for the [[31st Annual Grammy Awards|31st Grammy Awards]] in the category for [[Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental|Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance Vocal or Instrumental]],<ref>{{cite news|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=UUAaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=miQEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7019,2655419&dq|title=Complete list of Grammy nominees|date=January 13, 1989|access-date=November 26, 2010|work=[[Times-News (Hendersonville, North Carolina)|Times-News]]|location=Hendersonville, North Carolina|page=14|publisher=The New York Times Company|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160313072804/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=UUAaAAAAIBAJ&sjid=miQEAAAAIBAJ&pg=7019,2655419&dq|archive-date=March 13, 2016|url-status=live}}</ref> ultimately losing to [[Jethro Tull (band)|Jethro Tull]]'s [[Crest of a Knave]]. Since its release, the album has continued to receive widespread acclaim and is now regarded as one of the most important [[Alternative Rock]] albums of all time and one of [[List of 1980s albums considered the best|the greatest albums of the 1980s]]. ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' ranked ''Nothing's Shocking'' at number 312 on its "[[Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time|500 Greatest Albums of All Time]]", while frequently appearing on "best album" lists of the 1980s. ==Background== Jane's Addiction was formed in 1985 in Los Angeles by singer [[Perry Farrell]] and bassist [[Eric Avery]]. After going through multiple drummers and guitarists, they eventually recruited guitarist [[Dave Navarro]] and drummer [[Stephen Perkins]]. Jane's Addiction became a sensation on the Los Angeles club scene, primarily headlining at [[Scream (music club)|Scream]], and won interest from a variety of record labels. While the group decided to sign with [[Warner Bros. Records]], they insisted on releasing their debut on [[independent record label]] [[Triple X Records]] first.<ref>Mullen, p. 113β15</ref> The band's manager negotiated the largest advance up to that point, with Warner Bros. signing the band for between $250,000 to $300,000.<ref>Mullen, p. 118</ref> In January 1987, the band recorded its debut ''[[Jane's Addiction (album)|Jane's Addiction]]'' during a performance at the [[Roxy Theatre (West Hollywood)|Roxy Theatre]], at a cost of $4,000.<ref>Mullen, p. 119β21</ref> Before the album's release, Jane's Addiction supported British band [[Love and Rockets (band)|Love and Rockets]] on a two-month tour in late 1987.<ref>Mullen, p. 158</ref> In late 1987, the band opened for former Bauhaus vocalist [[Peter Murphy (musician)|Peter Murphy]] at the now demolished Fender's Ballroom in Long Beach, before entering the studio to record their debut studio album, ''Nothing's Shocking,'' in January of 1988. ==Recording== [[Warner Records|Warner Bros. Records]] gave Jane's Addiction a list of producers to choose from. The band's frontman, [[Perry Farrell]], appreciated [[Dave Jerden|Dave Jerden's]] work as engineer on [[David Byrne]] and [[Brian Eno]]'s album, ''[[My Life in the Bush of Ghosts (album)|My Life in the Bush of Ghosts]]''. Jerden said he "jumped" at the chance to work with the group.<ref>Mullen, p. 165</ref> "I had a demo tape of 18 songs," Jerden recalled, "and I listened to it every night all summer. I picked nine songs from the tape and put them in an order. And then I said to the band, 'Let's do these nine songs. You'll rehearse them in this order, and we'll record them in this order.' And that's what we did."<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/production-legend-dave-jerden-on-13-career-defining-records-586973 |title=Production legend Dave Jerden on 13 career-defining records |website=[[MusicRadar]] |date=October 30, 2013 |access-date=June 21, 2018 |last=Bosso |first=Joe |page=8}}</ref> During the recording sessions, Farrell stated he wanted 50% of the band's publishing royalties for writing the lyrics, plus a quarter of the remaining half for writing music, adding up to 62.5%. Bassist [[Eric Avery]] said he and the other members β guitarist [[Dave Navarro]] and drummer [[Stephen Perkins]] β were stunned by these demands.<ref>Mullen, p. 166</ref> One day, Jerden drove to the studio to find Farrell, Navarro, and Perkins leaving; Farrell told him the band had broken up and there would be no record. Warner Bros. called an emergency meeting to resolve the situation. Farrell received the percentage he sought, and the other members received 12.5% each. Avery said the incident had a profound effect on the band, creating an internal fracture.<ref>Mullen, p. 168</ref> Not long after the royalties dispute, Farrell and Avery β who had cofounded the band β had a falling out. This was the result of Avery's newfound sobriety as well as an incident in which Farrell believed Avery had drunkenly tried to pick up his girlfriend. "Unfortunately," Farrell recalled, "the tensions between Eric and I affected the whole family. Some people were asked to take sides, and others just moped about because they didn't know what was going on."<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Nasty habits |magazine=[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]] |issue=30 |date=August 2001 |last=Halbert |first=James |page=58}}</ref> Perkins, however, is reported to have got along with Navarro, Avery, and Farrell.<ref>Mullen, pp. 169β171</ref> ==Music== The writing process varied from song to song. "Some came from Eric's bass lines," noted Navarro, "some from guitar, some came from Perry, some came from drum riffs, and some just came from free-form jams. There was really no formula." Avery wrote several songs, including "[[Mountain Song (Jane's Addiction song)|Mountain Song]]", "Had a Dad", "[[Jane Says]]", and "Summertime Rolls" (the latter two of which he also created the guitar parts for). For his songs, Avery came up with lyrical concepts that Perry Farrell would create lyrics for; for example, "Had a Dad" dealt with Avery discovering he had a different biological father.<ref>Mullen, p. 167</ref> "Jane Says" and "Pigs in Zen", which first appeared on the band's [[Jane's Addiction (album)|self-titled 1987 debut]], were rerecorded for ''Nothing's Shocking''. The later version of "Jane Says" features a steel drum while the spoken interlude in "Pigs in Zen" is completely different. "Mountain Song" β originally released in 1987 on the soundtrack for the film ''[[Dudes (film)|Dudes]]'' β was also rerecorded. Musically similar to the original, it is sung in a higher key, to be consistent with the rest of the record. The 1987 original saw a more widespread release when it was included on the band's 1997 outtake/alternate/live and new compilation ''[[Kettle Whistle]]''. [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] bassist [[Flea (musician)|Flea]] played trumpet on "Idiots Rule".<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Nasty habits |magazine=[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]] |issue=30 |date=August 2001 |last=Halbert |first=James |page=60}}</ref> ==Packaging== Farrell and his then girlfriend Casey Niccoli created the cover image, which features a sculpture of nude female [[conjoined twins]] on a rocking chair with their heads on fire. He initially hired Warner Bros. employees to create the sculpture, but β after learning how to create sculptures by watching them closely β fired them and created the artwork himself.<ref>Mullen, p. 177</ref> "The idea came from a dream I had," he recalled. "There were these two women swinging back and forth. They were joined at the hip and shoulder, and their hair was on fire. I just went from there, and Casey assisted me. We had a fellow come and do a [[plaster cast|plaster body-casting]] of her, then we made the twins' hair and head gear from [[pipe cleaner]]s. You'll notice the chair rocks from side to side, as opposed to back and forth, so we had to have that made specially. We also went shopping for fake eyeballs."<ref>{{cite magazine |title=Nasty habits |magazine=[[Classic Rock (magazine)|Classic Rock]] |issue=30 |date=August 2001 |last=Halbert |first=James |page=56}}</ref> Owing to the cover, nine of the eleven leading record store chains refused to carry ''Nothing's Shocking''. It was issued covered with brown paper.<ref>Mullen, p. 178</ref> ==Release== "''Nothing's Shocking'' was released on August 23, 1988. Three singles were released to support the album, "Jane Says", "Mountain Song", and "Ocean Size." "Mountain Song" and Ocean Size" were both accompanied by music videos, however, [[MTV]] refused to air the former's [[music video]] owing to a scene containing graphic nudity.<ref>Mullen, p. 179</ref> Farrell decided to release the video commercially, adding twenty minutes of additional footage to create the ''Soul Kiss'' home video.<ref>Mullen, p. 180</ref> Lack of airplay on MTV and [[modern rock]] radio meant ''Nothing's Shocking'' sold only 200,000 to 250,000 copies in its first year of release.<ref>Mullen, p. 190</ref> By 1998, it had been [[music recording certification|certified]] platinum by the [[Recording Industry Association of America]] for shipments of one million copies in the United States.<ref name="RIAA"/> After the album's release, the band went on tour, opening for [[Iggy Pop]] and The [[Ramones]]. The tour helped bring attention to the band, who, by the end of the tour, were headlining clubs and theaters. ===2012 remaster=== A remastered edition of ''Nothing's Shocking'' was released on June 19, 2012 on a 24 karat gold disc.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.audiofidelity.net/content/janes-addiction-nothings-shocking|title=Jane's Addiction: Nothing's Shocking|publisher=Audio Fidelity|access-date=September 24, 2013}}</ref> Other than the addition of remastering production credits and a cardboard slipcase over the standard jewel case, the liner notes and artwork are almost identical to the original release. Likewise, the track list remained unchanged. The most notable artwork difference between the original and the remaster is in the color of band name typeface on the cover: the original is rendered in a deep teal color with black outline while the remaster features a light grey type with purple outline. Produced by Audio Fidelity, the remaster had a limited production run of 5,000 units. Each pressing came individually numbered. ==Critical reception== {{Music ratings | rev1 = [[AllMusic]] | rev1score = {{Rating|5|5}}<ref name="AM">{{cite web

Jane's Addiction as "the true heir to [[Led Zeppelin]]" and called the album "simultaneously forbidding and weighty, delicate and ethereal", while also distinctly more "hardheaded and realistic" in sensibility than Led Zeppelin's music.<ref name="RS"/> ''[[Los Angeles Times]]'' critic Richard Cromelin commented that Jane's Addiction "sounds supremely assured as it alternates its taut, brutal [[heavy metal music|metal]] alloy with oddly endearing moments of reflection", describing their style as "a bracing throwback to rebellious sources and forces of excess like old [[Black Sabbath]] and [[Alice Cooper]]".<ref name="LAT"/> [[Ken Tucker]], writing for ''[[The Philadelphia Inquirer]]'', found the album's lyrics incomprehensible in meaning, but viewed them as secondary to the music, which he deemed "first-rate β deceptively slapdash, passionately messy, thoroughly exhilarating."<ref name="PI"/> ''[[Kerrang!]]''{{'}}s Phil Wilding hailed Jane's Addiction as "the second coming" and posited that their innovation would be "understood" over time,<ref name="Kerrang"/> while ''[[Q (magazine)|Q]]''{{'}}s Martin Aston wrote that the band manages to recall acts such as Led Zeppelin and [[Van Halen]] without resorting to "the plagiarism that plagues the [[heavy metal music|HM]]/[[hard rock]] genre."<ref name="Q"/> Jack Barron of ''[[NME]]'' credited Jane's Addiction for having "breadth" and concluded that they "come from a town ruled by glam where talent is only mascara deep, but this is no five-year-old's IQ on show here."<ref name="NME"/> At the end of 1988, ''Nothing's Shocking'' was voted the 34th best album of the year in ''[[The Village Voice]]''{{'}}s [[Pazz & Jop]] critics' poll.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://robertchristgau.com/xg/pnj/pjres88.php |title=The

summarizing Jane's Addiction as "Alice Cooper revisited" while conceding that "if they stick at it like the pros they'll be, they might land an '[[Only Women Bleed]].'"<ref name="VV"/> ==Legacy== In a retrospective review, [[AllMusic]]'s Greg Prato called ''Nothing's Shocking'' a "now classic" album and "a must-have for lovers of cutting-edge, influential, and timeless hard rock."<ref name="AM"/> Steve Hochman, writing in the 2004 edition of ''[[The Rolling Stone Album Guide]]'', regarded it as an "often stunning" work whose songs juxtapose "slinky Zeppelin thunder with personal/poetic imagery recalling [[Lou Reed]]."<ref name="RSAG"/> "Even with all the baggage of prophecy and influence," wrote Ian Cohen of ''[[Pitchfork (website)|Pitchfork]]'', "''Nothing's Shocking'' lives as a poignant,
