The brothers felt they had done as much as they could with pure noise pop and made their next albums, ''Darklands'' and ''Automatic'', [[New Sound Album\|New Sound Albums]] - the former was more melodic and acoustic while the latter was classic-rock influenced [[Alternative Rock]]. Both were well-received and spawned a few hits ("Happy When It Rains" and "Darklands" for the former, "Head On" and "Blues from a Gun" for the latter). The band's first album of [[The Nineties]], ''Honey's Dead'', continued with the sound of ''Automatic'' but added more [[Industrial Metal]] influences. Its first single, "Reverence" attracted controversy for its lyrics (with choice couplets like ''I wanna die just like Jesus Christ/I wanna die on a bed of spikes'' and ''I wanna die just like JFK/I wanna die in the USA'') and was banned from being played on BBC Radio 1 and ''[[Top of the Pops]]''. [[No Such Thing Asas Bad Publicity\|It became a hit in the UK]]. Another [[New Sound Album]] followed, ''Stoned & Dethroned'', which was very melodic and folky, but intra-band tensions were worsening. After another album, The Jesus and Mary Chain split up for good in 1999. The band received more attention post-split through [[Revival Byby Commercialization]], as [[Sofia Coppola]] used their song "Just Like Honey" at the end of ''[[Lost in Translation]]''. The band finally reunited in 2007, playing for the first time in 8 years at the Coachella Festival. Notably, [[Scarlett Johansson]] joined them on stage to sing backing vocals on "Just Like Honey".
