Advantages: plenty of good songs, good lyrics and music Disadvantages: the album could lose a couple of tracks to make it better
After hearing Scar Tissue and Californication when round a mate’s house on MTV, it seemed impossible not to buy this album, especially after hearing that it had gone platinum over forty times world-wide.
I did not really know what the ‘Peppers’ were about, what kind of music they played (well, I knew it was rock) or what kind of style they had. I knew their previous album (blood sex and magic or something) had gone down really well, and that this was a brilliant follow-up to it.
The first six tracks on this album are basically faultless. Around the World (number one) starts with this magic guitar riff, and expect this from the rest of the album. This is followed by Parallel Universe then Scar Tissue, one of the hits of the album. Basically every line of the verses ends with a ‘…aaaawwww’ sounding ...
Advantages: All the great songs which they did!!! Disadvantages: Most songs have already been released (obviously) so they'll have been heard.
was the first song by The RedHotChilliPeppers that I heard and for a while it was my favorite- this song is the RHCP at their greatest!
4) Scar Tissue - At first this song didn't do it for me, I started off with it not being in my list of greats but now it's nearly their, this song has grown on me greatly over the years.
5) Soul to Squeeze - This is another great song on this astounding collection, this is absolutly great and that's that.
6)Otherside - This song is another good one bit slower than some of the others.
7) Suck my Kiss - Not my favorate that has to be said but.
8)By the Way - Most modern people know this song as it is one of the most recent on the album. I gotta say I do really like it.
9)Paralell Universe - Another great song from them, not as fast as some others but still great.
10) Breaking the girl ...
Advantages: Great performances, excellent lyris and very well produced Disadvantages: Some weak tracks
Like many people my age I bought Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic and listened to it endlessly during my adolescence. However, after that I pretty much stopped listening to the RedHot Chili Peppers until I heard this album. This album reunites producer Rick Rubin and the original replacement guitarist John Frusciante who both also worked on the aforementioned Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic. The full line up is Anthony Kiedis, Flea, John Frusciante, and Chad Smith. This maintains the funk rock tradition that the RHCPs are famous for while adding some mature introspective ballads; this makes for the RHCPs most mature album to date. Some hardcore fans of the band might not love this album as much as other RHCP albums, simply because their are more non-rock songs than on previous albums.
1. Around the World – This is a trademark RHCP funky rock ...
