| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Many figured that the Red Hot Chili Peppers' days as undisputed alternative kings were numbered after their lackluster 1995 release One Hot Minute, but like the great phoenix rising from the ashes, this legendary and influential outfit returned back to greatness with 1999's Californication. An obvious reason for their rebirth is the reappearance of guitarist John Frusciante (replacing Dave Navarro), who left the Peppers in 1992 and disappeared into a haze of hard drugs before cleaning up and returning to the fold in 1998. Frusciante was a main reason for such past band classics as 1989's Mother's Milk and 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and proves once and for all to be the quintessential RHCP guitarist. Anthony Kiedis' vocals have improved dramatically as well, while the rhythm section of bassist Flea and drummer Chad Smith remains one of rock's best. The quartet's trademark punkfunk can be sampled on such tracks as "Around the World," "I Like Dirt," and "Parallel Universe," but the more poporiented material proves to be a pleasant surprise "Scar Tissue," "Otherside," "Easily," and "Purple Stain" all contain strong melodies and instantly memorable choruses. And like their 1992 introspective hit "Under the Bridge," there are even a few mellow moments "Porcelain," "Road Trippin'," and the title track. With the instrumentalists' interplay at an alltime telepathic high and Kiedis peaking as a vocalist, Californication is a bona fide Chili Peppers classic. - Greg Prato, All Music Guide |
