this cd is excellent. it is and older chili peppers album, quite different to their more recent Cd's. it has a funky vibe to it.definitely worth a listen.
Proper music, what else can i say !! if you like punk, rock or whatever you want to call it, then get this album and all there others, probably the best band in the world ever!!
This is the album which really got the Chili's noticed. With classics like Under the Bridge and Give It Away, they became a phenomenon. One of their funkiest albums, and possibly their greatest. Of you like funk, rock, punk, madness and down-right awes0me music, then this is for you!
Firstly let we warn you of my complete bias for the RHCP, I absolutely love them and along with the Foo Fighters I believe them to be the greatest musical act of any kind walking this fine Earth of ours.
So thats out the way, I must say i think the RHCP get this album right in every single way and the variation they give is truly immense from songs such as 'Suck My Kiss' to 'Breaking The Girl'.
I would most definately recomend that you add this CD to your collection, having said this i still think that 'Stadium Arcadium' is the best album of all time as there is not one song i think lacks quality in that album, but you can read my review on that eif you wish.
I bought this as a gift for a friend because they used to have it & I spent ages tryin to download it & only found 6 tracks so decided to have a look on ebay. It was in excellent condition & my friend is really happy with it.
The best crossover that i ever listened. This album is so simple but it sounds great. Song like give it away or under the bridge or i could have lied or blood sugar sex magik are so wonderful. I like the way which it has been registered, and anthony lyric are so wonderful both to listen and to understand. I like this one the funkiest Flea and chad's work. Also John play so funk in this album. This masterpiece has been composed in the better red hot chili peppers' moment, which is fallen the next year, and come back with Californication and Stadium Arcadium. This is a must have absolutely.
bouncing bass lines, grooving guitar riffs and funky vocals combined together make this album one of the chili peppers greatest albums to date. an exciting album that shows the energy of this band so well. each song is absurdly different. this album reflects the ealier works of the chili's but also shows the changing sound and it is a true reflection of the bands genious. an album that can not be expressed in words. however some of the tracks on the album are not for the easily offended. all in all it isa very diverse album that is a necessity for any fan of the bands music. i mean i have two copies of it :P
I've loved the Chili Peppers since I was in sixth form and first heard the Californication album right the way through - it defined my summer that year. I've bought all their albums since and decided it was time to work backwards so Blood Sugar Sex Magik was my most recent Chili Peppers purchase...it is fantastic. The CD takes you through so many different times and emotions, and is a mixture of songs with Keidis's trademark rapping and some great singing. My recommendation?...read Anthony Keidis's autobiogaphy, Scar Tissue, it explains this whole album (amongst others) and the thoughts, feelings and experiences behind it, and is a fantastic honest read. BIG THUMBS UP!
