Full review
I bought Californication on the recommendation of a friend, having only heard ScarTissue. What a friend. This is my favourite album I own, purely because it is sheer class. With only two weak tracks ( Get On Top being one of them), Californication gets me every time. Opening with the jumpy Around the World, the album promises to deliver - and by 'eck it does. My favourite song of all time is on this album - OtherSide, I'm a sucker for it's gorgeous baseline. My other favourite tracks include the singles Scar Tissue and Californication, the last song Road Trippin and the funky Right On Time. Whatever mood you're in, the album cannot fail. An essential in every rock-lovers collection.
