Added DiffLines:

* AlternateAlbumCover: The original release of ''Ritual de lo Habitual'' depicts a painting by frontman Perry Farrell depicting three nude figures -- one male and two female -- embracing in front of a makeshift shrine. Because some retailers refused to stock items depicting nudity, the band put together a second cover for them consisting solely of the band name, the album title, and the first amendment of the United States constitution against a white backdrop. Likewise, the back cover was changed from a red curtain (referencing the one draped around the nudes on the explicit version of the front cover) to the following blurb:
--> Hitler's syphilis-ridden dreams almost came true. How could it happen? By taking control of the media. An entire country was led by a lunatic... We must protect our First Amendment, before sick dreams become law. Nobody made fun of Hitler??!

Is actually YMMV, so moving to that page


* RefrainFromAssuming: The title of "Jane Says" shows up only in some verses.
** "Ted, Just Admit It..." tends to get called "Nothing's Shocking" - it has a NonAppearingTitle, but repeatedly does an AlbumTitleDrop of ''Nothing's Shocking''. "Sex Is Violent" is another common guess, and confusingly enough the edited version on the ''Film/NaturalBornKillers'' soundtrack album ''is'' called "Sex Is Violent".

The band went into the studio some time afterwards to record their first album, with Dave Jerden behind the mixing boards. The recording process was difficult, with Farrell quarreling with everybody else over wanting more royalties, and the album's cover depicting two naked female statues [[IncendiaryExponent on fire]] got them attention from MoralGuardians. Still, ''Nothing's Shocking'' was released in 1988 to critical acclaim and commercial success, showcasing the band's [[NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly fusion of numerous genres into a specific style]] (AlternativeMetal with {{Funk}} and PsychedelicRock influences), energetic performances and Farrell's unorthodox vocals. Heavy touring followed, solidifying their "rising star" status.

* NeoclassicalPunkZydecoRockabilly: The inevitable result of throwing a vocalist influenced by 70s hard rock and funk, a guitarist into hard rock and gothic rock, a post-punk bassist, and a punk drummer into the same band. One critic referred to their style as "Music/LedZeppelin [[JustForFun/XMeetsY meets]] Music/TheCure".

* ContemptibleCover: ''Nothing's Shocking'' shows flaming nude statues. ''Ritual de lo Habitual'' arguably does this as well, depicting Farrell, his girlfriend and another female friend (who had died of an overdose) embracing, with one's breasts and Farrell's penis visible. The later of these directly relates to the lyrical content of "Three Days" and "Then She Did..."



* MoralGuardians: Not the band themselves but they did regularly get in trouble with them, especially as a result of their album art (see ContemptibleCover above).
