Californication [CD] [PA]

Californication brought the Red Hot Chili Peppers to the public eye with its titular single that really garnered them a ton of new fans. The album holds its funk roots but adds the rock sound that really launched them. It's an incredible album with many great songs. "Scar Tissue" is notable, winning the band a Grammy but others like "Otherside" and "Porcelain" are just as heartfelt while tracks like "Get on Top" and "I Like Dirt" more playful. One of my favorites is "Easily" with a bridge/chorus that really hooks you hard. A definite must have for any RHCP fan and an instant classic.

RHCP delivers some classic songs (besides Californication). Frusciante's guitar is out of this word. you can really enjoy it and feel it in many songs not only scar tissue. Different aim from the One Hot Minute album, but, it still gives you a kick in your brain with its quality of songs.

I happen to think that Californication is their best album to date. The song writing is strongest here and they had mounted a colossal comeback after struggling towards the end of the century. They managed to make a solid album full of classic tracks that resonates with me to this day.

This album is undoubtedly one of the best albums the Chillies have ever created, and possibly one of the best albums of all time. Truly a classic, in fact, why are you even reading this review? Shouldn't this album already be on its way to your house by now?

This is a great RHCP album. The songs are more straight forward radio friendly. Much more so than their previous more funk driven raw sounding albums. It is still a great album. A must for all fans.

I never had the experience to buy this Cd until recently. If I knew it was as good as it was I would have bought it back in '99 when it first came out. The price was also great!!! Over all a great deal!!!

The CD has great songs on it. IT has the groups most popular songs that was on the radio. It has a song on the cd that I never heard before. I started listening to that song a lot.

Well, I had to give it a listen, but what I found out was I'm not big on the Peppers, a few good tunes but plenty I don't like about the CD, too much "rapping" for me!
