Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are, in my opinion, a band that you cannot dislike. They are so unique, you almost fear that someone in the future will copy their sublime style. "Californication" is another remarkable addition to the chain of superb RHCP albums. The album contains some hits that you may have heard on the radio, including "Scar Tissue", "Otherside" and the title track, "Californication", but there are also some great songs that are heard ...
...In the majority of songs on the album, you can really see why the Chili Peppers are so successful. Threy mix a style of rap with soft rock, particularly in the opening track, "Around The World". Their use of instruments is magnificent, and they really express the lyrics through the music. Unfortunately, the album is slightly flawed. The songs seem to become less and less inspiring as the album plays. The final track, "Road Trippin'", is a perfectly ...

Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Well I was told the other day that I was missing out on not listening to this album! And damn they were right, I put it on after purchasing this album foe the very cheap price of two pound fifty in the bargain bin, in HMV! Dispite all my metalhead friends saying arrr no don't buy that get this metal album instead I decided to have a listen anyway! Wow was I amazed! Its probably one of the most influencal albums I've ever heard! With such catchy tunes ...
...it, just how can you! Recorded back end of 1998 and released early 1999, john frescainte and the rest of the chilli's inspire people around the world still to this date! The list of fantastic tunes are: - 1) Around the World - what a way to start this rather chilled out album, with a heavy bassline, addictive tune or what! advise you to turn the extra bass up on your cd player just to kept the fullk effect of that fantas5tic bass line! Great stuff! ...

Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

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 ...

...there is rap type vocal . The chorus has a soulful sound to it and is very easy to listen to. The chorus booms out: I know I know for sure, That life is beautiful around the world, I know I know it’s you, You say hello and then I say I do. The lyrics are about the band going on tour around the world to entertain their fans. They mention some of the different countries they’ve been to such as Moscow and Sicily. Kiedis talks about falling ...

Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Californication is the latest in a very long string of hit albums by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. The album however brings a welcome change to the old college band music. The album shows a more mature approach to alternative music and I definitely prefer this to the old stuff. Songs like Scar Tissue and Otherside stand out as the best songs but it is very hard to pick out favourites in such a good album. Towards the end however, the band revert back ...
...latest single Road Tripping. Five songs in total have been released of this album all experiencing success both sides of the Atlantic. This album is definitely an all-time classic and I’m sure it cane find a place near the top of anyone’s CD collection. I have heard, however, that for the next album RHCP are going back to the old style so this could be your last chance to hear this music … so buy it now. ...

Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

This by far is my favourite CD of the Red Hot Chilis because I liked the lyrics, the guitar tab, and the music it self. I liked all of the songs and I also enjoy playing them on the guitar becuse they are so much fun to play. I recommend this CD over all of the other RHCP CD's. So if you are stuck with what to get someone for christmas then get this CD because it is one of the best. I also recommend from the Red Hot chili's One Hot Minute. ...

Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

The Red Hot Chilly Peppers have been around for some time now, but as far as i can see, they are still going strong. Their newest album "californication" is an obvious example of this. This if a very mellow and relaxed album, featuring some amazing tracks, i.e. scar tissue and californication. The have a unique blend of mellow rock and heavy metal. which makes them leagues ahead of many other indie bands. As far as i'm concerned they are one of the ...

Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

I hadn't really heard any music from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, apart from Californication, so i took a dive at the deep end and went and bought the album not knowing what to expect. I was really impressed with their music and discovered a great song called Scar Tissue which is great to listen to! I have recommended this album to a lot of my friends and their all agree that it's top class, and well worth purchasing. I can find no fault with any ...

Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

I found that this cd was really good as an RHCP album, but where was the growth? The new progressions? Lyrics? It seemed to be like their old albums without anything new to it. The vocals on emmett remus was amazing, and the ballad porcelin (sp?) was breathtaking. But take more risks boys! And find your shirts. I really liked the the cover design, the juxtaposistion was very innovative. I have always been a good fan of these boys, and this release ...
...scar tissue, which is one of the best on the album. I think if you were to ever listen to only one song off of the album, this should be the one. Have you seen the video? Awesome. This album was one of the first I bought with my own earned money, so it is pretty much a memorable time for me. As I said, nothing new, but still amazing!!! ...

Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

A well-versed fan of Red Hot Chilli Peppers might disagree but I think this is by far the best album that the band have produced (even better than their greatest hits). It has the perfect mix between laid back serious songs and faster paced jump-around songs. A special mention has to go to 'Scar Tissue' and 'Otherside' which will forever remind me of the years of teenage angst I spent listening to them. Those who like their music a bit more lively ...

Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

They sound more in jive as a group and they added intensity and sensuality on the songs in this album. Since Fusciante stepped in (replaced Navarro for the guitars), the sound and the feel changed along with the guitarist shift. Fruscian gave it a more "I'- about-to-burst feel" to the songs. Scar Tissue can be a good example of the style and feel shift of this album from the previous album "One Hot Minute". Makes you want to just sing along with ...
...Kiedis was too good of a vocalist for me to handle. Their performance in Woodstock 99 was a wreck!.. A lot of people just went crazy and got out of control. They say its because they played "Fire" as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix's song, and as a favor to Henrix's sister. Man that was crazy. I heard a lot got hurt. and some girls in the crowd were molested and raped. Shops around the place were broken into and destroyed. The next day, The band were ...

Review of Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers

OK, I'll admit it- I am a pretty new fan of the RHCP; before recently, I oly knew a few of their songs. But I think this album will definitely convert a whole bunch of new fans like me. Antony Kiedis has a very distinctive voice, but there's still great variety on this album. The instantly recognisable Scar Tissue (the band's biggest hit from this CD) is still the best track, perhaps along with other singles Otherside & californication, but make ...
