I LIKE DIRT
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by Chris_Padden

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...last temptation of my mind’ 6. Californication The title track and still one of the best on here. This was the song that finally tempted me to splash out on this, and I like this. Again a slow and acoustic song but is powerful and loud in its own right. The moral behind the song is the fake world of Hollywood and all the hype behind it. ‘It’s understood that Hollywood sells Californication’ 7. Easily Good song ... Read review

Listen to people, but obey your Conscience
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by SachTen

Advantages: Californication, Otherside, Scar Tissue
Disadvantages: Right on Time

From the monumental, original sophomore effort ‘Blood Sugar Sex Magik’ in 1991 to today’s ‘By The Way’ it has been a decade full of experimentation, energy, and brilliant musicianship for a Los Angeles quartet. Starting with competitors like ‘Rage Against the Machine’ their Rap-Rock mixed music has survived enough to compete with Today’s bands like ‘Limp Bizkit’, ‘Linkin Park’. ... Read review

Changing The Future Of Music... For The Better
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by DaveGriffiths

Advantages: Most songs are strong and of new acquired quality
Disadvantages: Couple of songs do not fit the bill

...and growing. The release of Californication was greatly praised by most music critics all around the World, and fans were going crazy with live performances. The answer was "By The Way", the album that was produced too quickly, but still got some good reviews. The reason for their success, is that they appeal to almost everyone. All th people that I have talked to, like the Chili Peppers! If your looking for a classic to add to your shelf, suitable ... Read review

A real return to form
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by Mercury

Advantages: Contains some stunnning songs, great guitar riffs, thumping bass and drums combine excellently with great vocals and lyrics.
Disadvantages: There are a couple of weak songs which mean only four stars not five

...range of musical styles. Californication sees the return of John Frusciante to the groups line up, which is no bad thing as he was involved in the bands most successful album Blood Sugar Sex Magik which contained the magnificent Under The Bridge, recently covered by none other than All Saints. I had not really considered buying the album when it came out but have been consistently impressed by the singles that have been released from it and decided ... Read review

You got to get it put it in you
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by cocopops

Advantages: x
Disadvantages: x

...title track of the album Californication is another slow acoustic track. 'Its understood that Hollywood sells Californication'. I believe that indicates that this is another track about the big marketing of Hollywood. Easily is another rockin song. The lyrics in this track deal with the temptations of life. 'Easily, lets get carted away'. I don’t even want to think about what Porcelain is about. This is the softest song I have ever heard ... Read review

No sign of cooling down
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by little_fat_pad

Advantages: A great mix of genres and good value - fifteen tracks
Disadvantages: Too much place names and stuff, plus often very similar songs

...whole. Any good? I'll say. Californication is one of the best purchases I've made in ages. It's the perfect album for new RCHP fans, or even those who have escaped HearSay in the pop world and aren't familiar with modern rock. This is one of the Red Hot Chili Pepper's best albums yet, and fan or not, I seriously recommend you buy it. ... Read review

Red Red Hot Hot Hot Chilli Peppers
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by danradders

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 ... Read review

Dream of Californication
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by Gorman

Advantages: Lots of great songs and tunes
Disadvantages: The chili peppers are getting old and might not be around much longer

Before I tell you about californication heres how they were before it. They started out in Fairfax High school, Anthony became friends with Flea(Michael Balzary) and they wrote some songs together before Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons joined the band. Hillel and Jack quit the band and joined another band called What is This. Jack Sherman and Cliff Martinez then replace them. The band is now called The Red Hot Chili Peppers, then their first, ...

Red Hot Willy Slappers
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by kingsanj

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 Red Hot 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. ... Read review

They've still got it
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by yhwman

Advantages: Some great songs
Disadvantages: A few shouty songs :(

The departure of Dave Navarro and the return of John Frusciante signals a return to the more funky side of the Chili’s. No doubt everyone who disliked their previous album, One Hot Minute, will be glad of this but personally I liked the change in style that was present on it. Anyway, the CD: Around the World is a beautiful song mixing in bright and breezy verse with a soaring chorus. Scar Tissue, the first single off the album, you must have heard ... Read review

Dream of Californication
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by Cantthinkofaname

Advantages: Chili peppers! a return to greatness, some absolutly classic songs
Disadvantages: some not so great songs mainly Porcelain

...A much faster song than californication before it which helps to add balance to the album. 8)Porcelain: One of the only weaknesses of the album, and what i view as the worst song on it, although that might just be me but its very slow and fairly depressing. 9)Emitremmus: Strong bass line in the back ground but not really that great guitar. 10)I Like Dirt: Another return to the classic RCHP funk-punk. 11)This Velvet Glove: One of my favourites ...

Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by wingnut888

Advantages: New style of rock
Disadvantages: Have to go to the shop to purchase it

...lyrics and great song. 6. Californication This is my favourite track from this album. It is actually the first song I heard from RHCP and it is the reason why I like this band and the reason why I got this album. Anthony Kiedis sings amazingly. The lyrics are awesome. Plus its been No. 1 in the charts for a long period. I recommend watching the music video, it's brilliant. 7. Easily Nice track, lyrics are good, the style is quick but it's ... Read review

arguably the best album......EVER
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by Dr_Pepper

Advantages: Return of Frusciante
Disadvantages: last few are a bit dissapointing.

...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 ... Read review

A quality album
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by Agewills

Advantages: It has so many good tracks.
Disadvantages: Some of the songs do sound a tiny bit similar.

Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers is their best album and one of my favourite albums.The first track is good but there are better tracks.The only track that I don't like is track 8:Porcelain. The best tracks on it have to be 3:Scar Tissue, 4: O Otherside, 6:Californication, 7:Easily, 11:This velvet glove and Road Tripping (15).I'm not saying that the other songs are bad but this songs are the best.I didn't think that I would like this ...

Their best yet???
Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers by JS682

Advantages: songs 1-7
Disadvantages: songs 8-15

I had never really heard of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers until my brother bought their album when we were on holiday in Mallorca. As soon as we got back into england he put it onto the CD player and i was in love. The album had so much funky punky style it was stupid, the lead singers voice was smooth and clear and the lyrics in all of the songs. The only things that lets the album down is that the first half, 7 songs, are brilliant, but the second ... Read review
