The review appeared in the September 22, 1988 issue of Rolling Stone, reviewing Jane's Addiction's album "Nothing's Shocking"[1]. The "unprolific" pop artist reviewed alongside them in the same article was Randy Newman, whose album "Land of Dreams" was also covered[1]. For Jane's Addiction, the song described as a "worthy Left Coast successor" to Lou Reed's "Walk on the Wild Side" was "Jane Says"[1]. The two songs characterized as "hard-boiled riff rockers" were "Mountain Song" and "Ocean Size"[1]. These tracks showcased the band's heavy, guitar-driven sound that drew the Led Zeppelin comparison while maintaining their own distinctive Los Angeles edge. For Randy Newman, the song described as a "virtual rewrite" of a track from his "Born Again" album was "Dixie Flyer," which echoed themes and musical elements from his earlier work[1]. The closing track that incorporates the phrase "you send me" from Sam Cooke's classic was "I Want You to Hurt Like I Do"[1]. This track demonstrated Newman's characteristic blend of cynical lyrics with soulful musical references. The review highlighted both artists' significance in 1988's musical landscape, with Jane's Addiction representing the evolution of hard rock and Newman continuing his tradition of sophisticated, sardonic pop songwriting. ## References [1] Rolling Stone, September 22, 1988, Steve Pond review of Jane's Addiction "Nothing's Shocking" and Randy Newman "Land of Dreams"
