"If You Want These Kind of Dreams It's Californication"

Pros Awesome music, both soft and savage.
Cons Trendy drums.
Recommended it? Yes

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are back, and they are certainly red hot. They cooked up an album that is so diverse and yet not. The now completely sober band has created a set melody driven masterpieces while still retaining the hardcore edge that is the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

John Frusciante... Read full review »

Pros Great album finds the Peppers in top form.
Cons Runs out of steam towards the end.
Recommended it? Yes

By now, most people know about how Californication brought the Red Hot Chili Peppers back to the top of the game after the commercial failure of One Hot Minute. It is also well known that Californication spun off several hit singles, many of which are still getting radio airplay to this day. So I... Read full review »

Pros A rebirth for the Chilis, one of the finest albums of the 90s.
Cons Kinda tails off in the second half.
Recommended it? Yes

Okay, so I've decided to re-write my Californication review. My first review of this album was only my fourth after joining the site, and it was pretty weak, only getting nine rates deservedly. Well, not like I'm much better equipped to tackle reviewing such a classic right now, but I'll give it a... Read full review »

Taking a look from the Otherside -- the band matures

Pros an essential rock album, one of the top releases of 1999
Cons some songs deal with recovery from drug addiction, which may not be interesting for some.
Recommended it? Yes

This is the album that features the return of John Frusciante, who battled heroin addiction after leaving the band after the fame he experienced from the Blood Sugar Sex Magik release so many years previously. Frusciante replaces his replacement, Dave Navarro (formerly the guitarist for the band... Read full review »

Pros The sound of the Peppers return
Cons Nothing
Recommended it? Yes

Now that I have your attention, I guess I need to clear up the title of this review for people who are wondering about me! The Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of the most unpredictable bands out there! Knowing that, they decided to play a concert with nothing but socks on their penises! Ok..that?s... Read full review »

37 Helpfuls 38 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Amazing songs, stellar musicianship, and beautiful vocals
Cons "Porcelain" is a weak, pretentious song
Recommended it? Yes

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been one of the most solid, consistent rock bands throughout the past twenty years or so. Their survival can be linked to their ability to constantly evolve and shift between many genres of music, blending their influences seamlessly. They have faced many hardships as...

Chili Peppers Once Again Become "California Kings"

byPacManY2J Dec 23, 2008
36 Helpfuls 37 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros Several amazing rock songs
Cons A bit of tapering off after a strong first half
Recommended it? Yes

Things cooled off a bit for The Red Hot Chili Peppers with 1996's One Hot Minute.  It was stylistically all over the place and contained several dark oddities, but it was a great album nonetheless.  Unfortunately, it may have been a bit too odd for some, as the album was a commercial...

Hot and Bothered

Pros Good Album, interesting mixture
Cons some lyrics are not for the light hearted
Recommended it? Yes

Fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers will love Californication. The big surprise may be that some who aren't, will be now.
Californication combines the music style we've come to expect from the Peppers, fraught with slightly disturbing lyrics, with a kinder, more gentler sound with songs like... Read full review »

Why I thought the Peppers would never be good

byGuildenstern Apr 9, 2001
33 Helpfuls 34 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? Comment
Pros Good blend of rock and grunge with the bands'; trademark funk
Cons The funk
Recommended it? Yes

I never thought the Peppers would manage to make an unquestionably good album. Yes, I accept that ?Blood Sugar Sex Magik? was a good album, especially for the dedicated fans of the band and who somehow managed to see something in their early releases. But the problem is that there doesn?t seem to... Read full review »

A Spicy Concoction

Pros several good tracks, versatility of band is on display
Cons weaker second-half of cd
Recommended it? Yes

The Red Hot Chili Pepper's One Hit Minute was pretty weak, but the band recovered with their effort on their latest album, Californication. The CD showcases the band's range and versatility: from funk tracks to hard rock to softer ballads. Their lyrics are as strong as ever and the return of lead... Read full review »
