About This Item
2012 . With valuable assistance from producer Rick Rubin, the Peppers find just the right blend of punk, funk, and hip-hop. Even with a running time of 74 minutes, this 1991 breakthrough has continuity and cohesion both within and across the 17 cuts. Riding Flea's surging bass, Anthony Kiedis delivers his explicit lyrics with a rapper's flair, extolling the virtues (and outlining the dangers) of S*x and drugs. Plaintive ballads such as InchBreaking the Girl,Inch InchI Could Have Lied,Inch and the hit InchUnder the BridgeInch give the album depth and provide contrast to the raw energy of InchMellowship Slinky in B Major,Inch InchFunky Monks,Inch and InchGive It Away.Inch Rubin masterfully fuses John Frusciante's raunchy guitar with the irresistible grooves.
