Description:
Reunited with producer Rick Rubin and guitarist John Frusciante (both of whom were on board for the 1991's breakthrough Blood Sugar Sex Magik), the Chili Peppers waste no time in burying their last effort, the so-so One Hot Minute. Californication's kickoff cut, "Around the World," swaggers around the room, reacquainting itself with old fans and welcoming new ones. Fuzzy Hendrix vibes and popcorn bass lines still rule the roost, along with a heaping helping of disco magic and some unexpected twists. Ten years ago, Anthony Kiedis and company wouldn't have been comfortable doing revamped new wave ("Parallel Universe") or unpretentious ballads (the acoustic "Road Trippin'"), but such material fits Californication's extra-wide canvas. Except for a few meandering numbers that could have been excised, the Red Hot Chili Peppers succeed and regain their footing on the mountain of adrenalized funk. --Jason Josephes

Pros:
|
Quality sound from one of the best in the business
|
|
Cons:
|
|
|
The return of John Frusciante to the Red Hot Chili Peppers was welcomed as the sound on this album was back to the caliber fans had thought was lost on the previous album (one hot minute).
The Red Hot Chili Peppers always amaze with their musical talent, and range of styles, from 'Around the World' to the final cut, the mellow 'Road Trippin' - RHCP is back in full force with one of their best efforts to date.
