Californication, Red Hot Chili Peppers, 1999 Warner Brothers

I think you are overanalizing the holy hell out of that comment.

I think he was merely stating that RHCP do funk better than any other white artist/band. And thats his opinion, one that I share I might add.



Now you're just being an elitist douche.
 
I like this album from start to end. I still listen to it every once in awhile. I will say I enjoy their older stuff more. Just the feel of their older stuff appeal to me more. I have never seen them live,yet. But from what I've heard they give great shows. I respect them for actually caring to try and give the best show they can each an every time.
thanks
the iron man
 
Yes, this album is seriously hard to listen to all the way through, the production makes your ears bleed

Would be curious to hear this album remixed
 
Personally I think RHCP should have stuck with the pure funk on Freakey Styley. I am a huge George Clinton fan. BSSM is still my favorite. I don't like Californication much.
 
out of all the **** i end up listening to during me and my aunts stale get together's driving to the ****ing cheesecake factory, i enjoy maroon 5 the most :)

they're catchy and fun, with decent enough lyrics that make me mildly happy :D

edit: getting back to red hot chili peppers >.>
 
I agree to the fullest extent...HOWEVER, Around The World and Scar Tissue are in their own right very well done. I think Scar Tissue was my personal second favorite, it was so original and different from the other songs. But ever since I heard the song Californication, I was hooked instantly....Right now it's my favorite song from them.
 
I never said it was bad, I said it was bland. And I do like Frusciante best, but that maybe because I think his solo work is better than RHCP. and teenage angst poetry? Why don't I pull up my favorite verses by the people I call my favorite songwriters?

Blake Sennett: "August i'll see you soon / under yellow moons / where i'll gather whats left of you / and august im on your side / or did I speak too soon? / now we've crossed the great divide"

Elliott Smith: "Drink up, baby, look at the stars / ill kiss you again between the bars / where im seeing you there / with your hanRAB in the air / waiting to finally be caught"

Patrick Wolf: "A boy like me is told he is both nine and ninety / And boy like me should shut those books join the army / but a boy like me would never be seen fighting for peace / I want total chaos and a holiday home in the east"

Will Sheff: "if I could tear his throat / and spill his blood between my jaws / and erase his name for good / don’t you know that I would? / Don't you realize I wouldn’t pause / that I would cut him down with my claws / if I could have somehow never let that happen."

Conor Oberst: "Now that its june, we’ll sleep out in the garden / and if it rains, we’ll just sink in to the mud / where it is quiet and much cooler than the house is / and there's no clocks or phones to wake us up / because i have / learned that nothing is as pressing / as the one who is pressing would like you to believe / and i'm content to walk a little slower / because there's nowhere that i really need to be"

I don't see where you drew that statement from.



Theres very few songs that I like that I would consider 10/10, the rating on this album he gave is ridiculously high for every song.



I was talking about Scar Tissue, not the entire album.
