My mate got this before me, and the way I look at music will never be the same again. The Red Hot chilli Peppers have really pulled it out the bag with a truly spectacular album, Californication. With great lyrics and guitar rifts, this album is an all time great and will always be remembered.
There is a great variation of songs in this awesome album. Starting off, 'Around the world' was a top 20 hit in England and is a great song and shows a new side to the Peppers never seen before. A power-funk tune that gets you going but then the real songs that make this album truly amazing album.
‘Parallel Universe’, ‘Scar Tissue’, Otherside’ and ‘Californication’ show the true rock on this album, and they are just brilliant, underlining the Peppers ability to vary there music without dipping under the extremely high standards set by earlier albums such as ‘Blood sugar Sex Magik’. These four songs (with Californication being my personal favourite) would be enough on their own, but instead the album includes 15 tracks, all of a very standard (well, most of ‘em anyway).
Included in those four songs is ‘Get on Top’. This is a real gritty, dirty song, which took a while to grow on me, but has finally found a place in my collection of quality tunes.
The album continues well, with ‘Easily’ proving an immediate hit. Unfortunately, with the exception of the impressive ‘This Velvet Glove’ and ‘Road Trippin’ (with some great acoustic work, the album goes a bit downhill. However, the earlier songs easily make up for that.
John Frusciante’s return is much to the delight of Peppers’ fans (including me). He doesn’t disappoint either, with a very good contribution to the overall album, which, I have to say again, is truly spectacular. If you haven’t got it, GO BUY IT NOW.
