Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers > Reviews

Advantages: coaster
Disadvantages: money

This album is not very good at all. I can not see what all the fuss is about mybe my title was a little missleading as the album is not terrible, just slightly awful. I am not a huge fan of Red Hot Chilli peppers music I must confess but to me this is the worst of the lot. I got it a while ago now from woolies for a tenner which isnt bad. I gave it the benifit of several hearings but to me it was very poor. It carried no cleaver messages and was ... Read review

Advantages: Great songs
Disadvantages: None

Californication really is a very good album, with very good singles released. I am very surprised that none of the released songs did particularly well. Californication and the group have won countless awards for this album, and they are well deserved. I cannot say that I dislike any of the songs on the album, there are ones which are not as good as others but they are still very likable. The album gets off to a very good start, with 'Around the World' ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant for just listening to
Disadvantages: Not good if you're feeling down...

The first time I listened to a Red Hot Chili Peppers album, (Blood Sugar Sex Magik), I'll admit that I found it disappointing. My friends all told me how wonderful they were and I found it an anticlimax. On listening again and again, I found myself becoming addicted to the sound that is the Chili Peppers. This new album does them justice. There is a song for every side, from the fairly loud "Parallel universe" to the mellow and superbly played "Scar ... Read review

Advantages: Some good tracks
Disadvantages: Some not so good tracks

I have to say that i'm quite disappointed with this album as a whole despite there being several songs of top quality. The album starts with "Around the world" which is an allright start with weird lyrics and only made good by Ant Keidis's brilliant voice. Next up "paralell universe which is instantly forgettable and not worth lingering on. However "Scar Tissue" is one of the best tracks on the album and with the good "Otherside" and the absolutely ...

Advantages: Californication, Scar Tissue, Otherside, Emit Remmus, Velvet Glove
Disadvantages: none

...hits like Scar Tissue and Californication you cant go wrong at all. When i purchased this CD i was hoping for something good but i got way more than what i had anticipated. There isnt one track on this album that gets old fast and the sound quality is just perfect. The musical genius that went into the making of this album is just something else. even the album art is uber cool. its peppers magic at its best. its got it all funk punk rock mellow everything ...

Advantages: The abum is one of those that you can go to sleep with or be kept awake by.
Disadvantages: If you haven't heard any of the songs before try to listen to them from napster or a friend

This album has got to be one of the all time classics - even non chilli peppers fans won't be able to help themselves from becoming fanatical. I first listened to "Californication" on my sisters boyfriends Minidiscplayer and within 2 weeks had that album. The album has a mix of (Compared to the rest of the album) fast songs and slow relaxing songs, The fact is that on a recent school skiing trip on a coach i listened to "Californicatio" practically ...

Advantages: timeless
Disadvantages: some of the songs are fairly heavy

Great album, an album you will want to play over and over. The cd contains a mixture of more easy listenening songs such as track 8 -'porcelain' to more rocky tunes such as track 4- 'otherside'. My favourite Red Hot Chillie's album, capturing their unique style of rock. Despite not knowing several of the tracks before i bought the album, they all become instant favourites after playing the album just a few times. I have had the album since 2001 and ... Read review
