Advantages: Excelent song writing
Disadvantages: odd duff moment

...World, Scar Tissue, Otherside and Californication itself. Just a pity they don't play live in UK much these days... ... Read review

Advantages: an intresting mix for its time!
Disadvantages: not so intresting in parts!

Review on The Red Hot Chilli Peppers- Well where to start, TRHCP are a hard band to review, especially there albums just which one to go for! So I went with the one and only californication! This is a classic of there greatest work, with the much acclaimed song scar tissue, even if u don’t know the band this song will be in the back of your mind and you will be like *hey im sure I have heard that somewhere!* With its mellow start off and drums, ...

Advantages: flea, john, easily, road trippin'
Disadvantages: none

These topless gym addicts have once again produced another amazing album. This one is so good it would definitely be a contender for the best rock album of all time if such an award existed. There isn?t one bad song on the whole of this album that would have made it incredibly difficult to select which sings to release as singles. However, Rick Rubin (the producer) and the band did well choosing to release All Around the World, Scar tissue, Otherside, ... Read review

Advantages: how long have you got
Disadvantages: not long enought - need more chilli peppers

...i have to say that californication is one of my faveraites. Red hot chilli peppers are a funk band and californication are there 7th album. the ablum, i think, is totally different to all of their others (i.e. out in l.a. and freaky style) as it is way more to the side of acoustics drums and bass guitar. i think californication is the most rockified album they have released and is aimed more at the rapidly expanding market of soft, acoustic music. *now ...

Advantages: Another quality album from the Chilis
Disadvantages: You might not still be listening after a couple of months

Californication is another great album from one of the giants of the rock world. Many of these tracks are superb, and all are good quality. The chilis have proved that they can appeal to the masses - already two singles from the album have entered the UK chart. They have struck a balance between pleasing their regular fans and diversifying to win over new fans. The guitar playing is solid as usual, and the vocals are good, but Flea's bass playing ...

Advantages: what can i say
Disadvantages: none

Californication is The red hot chilly peppers latest offering and I don’t think it will disappoint. Scar Tissue is the reason I bought this album and believe me it was worth it just for that – I don’t mean to say that the other songs are not (in the main) equally brilliant. Californication is another stand out track “space may be the final frontier, but it’s made in a Hollywood basement.” If you like The red hot chilly peppers then you’ll love this, ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: none

Californication by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers has definitely got to be one of the best albums of the past few years. After being introduced to it by friends on our regular so called "games" lessons I have to admit I have become a complete addict. With quality songs such as otherside (my personal favourite) and scar tissue you cannot find a better album to chill out with your mates to. The old Red Hot Chilli Pepper album “Blood, sugar, sex, magic” ... Read review

Advantages: Good Songs :-)
Disadvantages: Bad Songs :-(

Being around since the mid-eighties, The Red Hot Chili Peppers have obtained legendary status with musical delights such as 'Under The Bridge' and their albums 'One Hot Minute' and 'Blood Sex Sugar Magik' which really are brilliant if you like that type of music and who could forget their sensational tour in the red square of Moscow... So with their latest Album 'Californication' all expect more of the same. Unfortunately you can't always get what ... Read review

Advantages: With four Top 30 singles, it is easy to listen to and could turn anyone into a fan.
Disadvantages: The only disadvantage is even in the sales in the shops, its still £9.99 (or there abouts).

Its been 4 years since their last release 'One Hot Minute' and have since seen the departure of Ex-Janes Addiction Guitarist Dave Navarro. With John Frusciante back at the helm on guitar....they've done it again. This album is just pure chili pepper. It has everything, Flea's(Bassist)funky grooves, Chad's (Drums)tub thumping (and often mellow) beats, John's (Guitar)melodic riffs and of course Anthony (Vocals) blessing the microphone with his lyrics ...

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Yes, its official, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are still as good as ever with their new album Calafornication. But this time they've moved slightly away from their funk rock style that made them so big in the early nineties and shown us their more mellow and thoughtful side. Anyone doubting their ability to do this should listen to songs like "Otherside", "Californication" and the fantastic "Scar Tissue". If you liked "Under the Bridge" and "My ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent music
Disadvantages: Some weaker moments

I'm not a huge Red Hot Chilli Peppers fan, at least i wasn't until i bought this. When i heard the multitude of wonderful singles released from this CD i knew that i had to buy it. It was a decision i don't regret. The singles are brilliant, everyone knows trhat, but the other songs are good too, the RHCP's diversity really comes through. The songs do sound similar in parts, but it doesn't take long to get to know and love them. Make no mistake, this ... Read review

Advantages: Lots Of Heartstopping tracks!
Disadvantages: Two poorer songs!

...with a funky tune. Otherside, Californication and of course Scar Tissue are the main heartstopping tracks. Scar Tissue is a nice soft mellow track with Otherside and Californication with heavier guitar parts. This Velvet Glove is another sure to be classic as its very similar to Scar Tissue in style. I feel there are a couple of poorer songs in the album. I like dirt and Porcelain are not in the same class as the other songs i feel. Anyway this ... Read review
