Dense, distorted, and emotionally heavy. A departure into psychedelic metal and dark introspection that swaps California sunshine for midnight shadows.
September 8, 1995 · Warner Bros. Records
A heavy, gothic-tinged gloom descends on the band's signature bounce, as the arrival of guitarist Dave Navarro steers the music into a dark, drug-addled haze. The buoyant, hyper-sexualized funk of their past is replaced by a dense, brooding alternative rock weight, where distorted, metallic riffs collide with vulnerable lyrics detailing grief and addiction.
