Not bad!

Advantages: Great!
Disadvantages: Few dodgy songs

I'm not really much of a rock/indie person, but I had heard the chili's Under the bridge before and I'd also heard scar tissue, so I though I'd but the album to see what it was like, and although under the bridge isn't on it, I was very impressed! Its not too heavy and they actually sing rather than some of these american rock bands who kinda scream! Its the perfect album for the car or chillin' in your room, its not really a party album. I've also ...

...tangy bit! The Track Californication is brilliant:good,catchy lyrics,fantastic video,a good beat and a mellow flow to get you going.Many of the other tracks that have been released are similar in the respect they are great soothing songs yet all the others have a quality about them!This is a quality that i have not seen topped in a mellow,chillout album such as this for a long time! Cool artwork on the inlay also attracts you! A true classic.Hear ...

From out of the wilderness

Advantages: Brilliant,visionary,sweet and pleasent
Disadvantages: Old-time fans may not be convinced...

After what seemed like forever, after splitting up rumours, after the conflict of interest with their guitarist (Dave Navarro), and after the virtual resurrection of their BSSM guitarist John Fruciante, this album was born. I have been into the chili peppers for about 10 years and nothing could prepare me for the sheer beauty and fragility of this album. After their full 18 year history of death-defying punk/funk music, this almost folky rock album ...
...emotional, powerful, sweet and fragile. Songs such as "parallel universe" have that same raw beauty the chili peppers have always had, but the sweetness of "otherside" and the downright wackiness of "around the world" have got to be heard to be believed. John Fruciantes' return marks a totally different direction for the chili peppers;away from the almost normal and banal "one hot minute" album. He alone has caused the once all-too-familiar unitedness ...

I Love This Chuffin Album, Beauty by the Chili's

Advantages: All OF them
Disadvantages: None Of Them

This was the first Chili Peppers album that I bought after having listened to half a dozen tracks from it during a school skiing trip on a cassette player (which gives an idea of how long I've had this thing). The album 'Californication' can be argued to be the most successful album of the chilis repertoire, indeed many people think this is only the second or third album by the band, not knowing the band much earlier, more funky sounding albums. ...
...Frusciante and Chad smith, the former two being original members and the latter replacements for the late Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons. Here is a list of songs and my feelings on them: 1. Around The World, This track is for the hardcore fans of old, a funky song with intensely fast guitar moments, this track also has a much softer chorus that previous chilli songs, perhaps a signal that this album was another level of progression for the band. ...

excellent

Advantages: catchy tunes and original songs.
Disadvantages: a couple of not so good tracks

red hot chilli pepper's latest album has been immensely popular. the latest single released from it, the title track 'californication', has done well in the charts too, and probably the most famous single from the album, 'scar tissue' is very well known. the album is a good mix of soft and loud, angry and sensitive and melodic and rocky. the lead singer anthony keidis has a wide vocal range and a distibctive voice, and along with the other band ...

You mean you dont have it

Advantages: Not a single bad track on the album. Almost all tracks are excellent!
Disadvantages: None

My favorite album of all time. It beats Nirvana, AC DC or anything else like it. There are two reasons this is my favorite album of all time: 1) The songs are excellent beyond belief. 2) There is not a single song on the album (there's 15 of them) that I don't like! With tracks ranging from rock to funk to heartfelt melodies this album has something for everyone. 'Scar Tissue' is a very moving and beautiful song whilst 'get on top' is a lot more ...
...album is top! (in fact I really should list every single track as they are all great! If you are not blown away by this album you must be a die-hard dance/raver or really hate light rock (shame on you both!). All of the lyrics are meaningful, thoughtful and often touching. Combine this with the Chilli's ability to write, play, perform and sing fantastic music I've not found a better album since... Enjoy! ...

Back to their best

Advantages: Funky, sexy and cool
Disadvantages: Lacks a real hit like Under The Bridge

That the Chili Peppers still exist is nothing less than a miracle. Their original guitarist died from a heroin overdose, second six stringer John Frusciante left after ground-breaking single Under The Bridge and nearly went the same way, and singer Anthony Kiedis admits to fighting a continuing battle against the drug. Little wonder than this, their eighth album, should be so downbeat. Yet it's a mood that suits the harmonies and contemplation of ...

Are they as good as they used to be

Advantages: Good mix of songs
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

In their new album "Californication" you can tell by the style of the songs that the group is becoming more mature and talented. I personally enjoy and like the song "Scar Tissue" as it reminds me of my holiday last Summer. The cover of the CD is very colourful adn attractive. The CD is well worteh the £12.99 I paid for it, I would really resommend this album to anybody who is interested in the Red Hot Chilli Peppers nad is into Indie music. ...

Hot peppers!

Advantages: Great music!!
Disadvantages: Unhappy neighbours

To be honest, I bought this album for one track - Otherside- thinking that the rest of the album would be somewhere between crap and ok. But I was so wrong! The whole album is excellent! My favourite track is of course Otherside, but the rest of the album is just as good, especially Californiacation. Yes, there are some naught lyrics in amongst the track listing, but if you listen to the lyrics properly you'll see that they are there for a reason ...

Sufer Rock still rules

Advantages: Back at their best
Disadvantages:

This album has been a long time in coming, and I'd have to say that after the classic Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik this has to be the best Chilli Peppers album ever. They give you your moneys worth with a total of 15 tracks, not a weak link in site. From the soulful chart success "Scar tissue" and "Around the World" to the thoughtful "otherside" and witty title track "Californication", this is a must for all Chilli Peppers fans. This album is lyrically ...

RHCP are back with a more mature sound..

Advantages: Scar Tissue, Californication, Road Trippin, Parallel Universe, Otherside
Disadvantages: Porcelain

...joined as guitarist. Californication is the result of John Frusciante re-joining the band and a new harmony settling over them. This is a completely new sound from the band who gave classic funk-rock like Give It Away and Suck My Kiss. The sound is all together more grown up and mellower with songs such as Scar Tissue, Otherside and the title track Californication. But they show they are the same funk band who can belt out the dance floor fillers ...
...never heard of time! Perfect for chilling out in the summer sun or driving along with nothing on your mind. However Californication is my personal favourite album from the Chili's since One Hot Minute. It is an absolute classic and should be purchased by everyone! ...

Great album

Advantages: All of it
Disadvantages: None

I love the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and this album ROCKS. It is full of brilliant tracks, and unlike nearly all other albums there is no fillers or wastes of time at all. The album is mainly composed of great rocking tunes, guitars, drums and great vocals. There is the odd slower track, bu this just adds to the greatness of the album. The first 7 tracks are all amazing, and the album flows from one to another seemlessly. My favourite track is the ...
...World'. If you have bought this and like it, then get 'Blood Sex Sugar Magik', it is more of the same which is a good thing. It also features the classic track 'Under The Bridge' which beats the All Saints version in to the ground. A great album, and the best £10 you could ever spend. ...

Get on Top

Advantages: Lots of songs
Disadvantages: a bit too quiet in places

Californication is yet another marvellous creation by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, containing all the expected elements of one of their albums. There is variety throughout, with rock, indie, a bit of funk, and some slow, simple ballads. This in itself should make you want to listen, as there is guaranteed to be at least one song you'll like. The album itself is quite lengthy, with 15 songs, each, in my opinion, standing out from the rest in their ...
...the quieter songs, 'Scar Tissue', which was a hugely successful single, and 'Roadtrippin', the latest and probably last single release from the album. Other songs which stand out for me are 'Porcelain', with, once again, it's soft and melodic qualities, and 'Californication', with it's mild rock beats. This is very quiet as RHCP albums go, but as they further their career, I'm sure they're allowed to calm down. All I can say is, buy it! ...
