Stadium Arcadium »rank: 1272 by: Red Hot Chili Peppers 0ur Review: :Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers calls the band’s first new album in four years, Stadium Arcadium, the most-anticipated album of the spring, 'the best thing that we’ve ever done…. There’s this weird kind of sublime, subliminal undercurrent that is suggestive, in a spirited way, of our earliest records.' Exuding all the passion, energy and funked-up rock that have made the Red Hot Chili Peppers one of the most popular bands in history, the ...
	Blood Sugar Sex Magik »rank: 1696 by: Red Hot Chili Peppers 0ur Review: :Limited edition Japanese pressing of the 1991 album comes packaged in a miniature LP sleeve.

WP. 2OO6. essential recording:With valuable assistance from producer Rick Rubin, the Peppers find just the right blend of punk, funk, and hip-hop. Even with a running ...		Californication »rank: 2450 by: Red Hot Chili Peppers 0ur Review: :\N :Reunited with producer Rick Rubin and guitarist John Frusciante (both of whom were on board for the 1991's breakthrough Blood Sugar Sex Magik), the Chili Peppers waste no time in burying their last effort, the so-so 0ne Hot Minute. Californication's kickoff cut, 'Around the World,' swaggers around the room, reacquainting itself with old fans and welcoming new ones. Fuzzy Hendrix vibes and popcorn bass lines still rule the roost, along with a heaping helping of ...
	By the Way »rank: 5505 by: Red Hot Chili Peppers 0ur Review: :2OO2 album. :When the Red Hot Chili Peppers first appeared smeared in neon body paint with socks dangling precariously from their wieners, even the most faithful funk-metal convert couldn't have conceived they would be around some 2O years later, carrying on in much the same fashion. Despite a long history of tragedies and personnel upheavals, the California quartet's eighth album is mostly business as usual--and business, as usual, is quite good. The title track, 'By the ...		One Hot Minute »rank: 7526 by: Red Hot Chili Peppers 0ur Review: :At the time of its release, 0ne Hot Minute was viewed as the beginning of a new direction for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Guitarist John Frusciante had departed and former Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro joined the ranks after some false starts with short-lived replacements. Band chemistry here isn't quite up to past standards. Navarro stretches out throughout the album, imbuing tunes with a heavy dose of hard rock and psychedelia and providing a stark contrast ...
	Mother's Milk »rank: 4056 by: Red Hot Chili Peppers 0ur Review: essential recording:The Chili Peppers finally hit their stride with Mother's Milk, for the first time making their breakneck mix of funk, rap, and metal smooth enough to attract the masses, while keeping it raw enough not to alienate old fans. They've straddled that edge ever since. lt didn't hurt that they offered a pretty mainstream cover of Stevie Wonder's 'Higher Ground' to introduce the album. That single though, and the rest of Mother's Milk (including 'Knock ...		Freaky Styley »rank: 11408 by: Red Hot Chili Peppers 0ur Review: essential recording:With their second album, Freaky Styley, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were still growing into their oversize funkdafied britches. The polished funk-punk-metal-rap hybrid of later albums was still in its seedling stage here, with the group yet to successfully merge those elements. Still, there's a consistent old-school garage feel. Flea's bass lines, normally in hyperdrive, are clipped and springy, like bare feet hopping on a hot Los Angeles blacktop. Lead singer Anthony Kiedis risks sounding ...
