    Pros: None

    Cons: None

    After many, many years of recording touring and changing line-up,RHCP gave us CALIFORNICATION,an album of such range and quality,it is difficult to fault. The first three tracks are probably the best first three tracks of an album I have ever heard.A...round The World is explosive, old-style Chili Pepper funk, Parallel Universe is a more traditional rock number,combining a bouncing rhythm with a deafening guitar driven roar,and Scar Tissue is a sad,melodic love song where frontman Antony Keidis gets to show off an unrivalled vocal range.Unfortunately, it would be asking too much for the rest of the tracks to be half as good, but a few come tantalisingly close! Title track CALIFORNICATION is a six minute masterwork of complex guitar riffing and clever lyrics which asks if the culture of America's elite is as enviable as they would have you think.Funkier numbers like Get On Top,I Like Dirt and Right On Time hark back to the Peppers roots, while Savior is a mind-boggling look at what the Peppers can do when they want to do something completely different. Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of the biggest and best bands in the world now,and CALIFORNICATION is the nail in the coffin of anyone who claims otherwise.They richly deserve the multi-platinum success this album brought them, and they have moved on from being the young white funk pretenders to being the benchmark for a whole new generation.Buy this album and be inspired.

    This album is so good because every single track on the cd is good. This is pretty much the only cd i have i play without skipping through songs. Very good.

    Great CD, even though I'm not typically a RHCP fan. "Around the World" has the best few seconds of bass guitar I've ever heard, "Other Side" has an excellent guitar solo, "Californication" is just an all around awesome song, "I Like Dirt" and "Right... on Time" are also great, and "Purple Stain"'s lyrics give me and my friends something to talk about.

    i give this a 5 because even though i think BSSM is the best and always will be, this is still a beutiful record. Frusciante brilliance isnt as detailed in this as BSSM but is still there and and on songs like Californication, Otherside, Easily and R...oad Trippin' it shows.Anthony's voice is more sincere on here and less funkier. i dont know how to feel about the direction the peppers r now taking but watever they do ill always love them 4 it.

    a fine album

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 8, 2002

    Ive been a fan of the chilli peppers since mothers milk. they have certainly changed their style of music. this is a more mature and mellow album. it shows they can write catchy music together instead of their typical metal/ funk they where accustom ...to. i would reccomend this to anyone into alternative music Read more Less
