Jane’s Addiction’s second album, 1990’s Ritual de lo Habitual, is a hallmark of the genre-mashing eclecticism that would define the direction rock took in the coming decade. With lyrics that dwell on love, loss, death and rebirth, the nine-song opus bops restlessly between a metalized spin on Red Hot Chili Peppers funk-rock, Zeppelin-indebted hard-rock and more, dipping into prog-rock grandeur on “Then She Did” and unleashing a psychedelic sprawl on the 10-minute standout, “Three Days.” It truly comes alive on wax.
