Editorial Review:
\N
Reunited with producer Rick Rubin and guitarist John Frusciante (both of whom were on board for the 1991's breakthrough Blood Sugar Sex Magik), the Chili Peppers waste no time in burying their last effort, the so-so One Hot Minute. Californication's kickoff cut, "Around the World," swaggers around the room, reacquainting itself with old fans and welcoming new ones. Fuzzy Hendrix vibes and popcorn bass lines still rule the roost, along with a heaping helping of disco magic and some unexpected twists. Ten years ago, Anthony Kiedis and company wouldn't have been comfortable doing revamped new wave ("Parallel Universe") or unpretentious ballads (the acoustic "Road Trippin'"), but such material fits Californication's extra-wide canvas. Except for a few meandering numbers that could have been excised, the Red Hot Chili Peppers succeed and regain their footing on the mountain of adrenalized funk. --Jason Josephes

Rating:  - Nice!
If you are reading this you must have an idea what this album is all about. It's my favorite of the RHCP albums and is universally excellent; if you are thinking of buying it you won't be disappointed.

The Peppers are at the top of their game on this album. One of my all time favorites. Every track offers something new and creative. Fantastic album makeup. BUY IT!!! It will be one of the best decisions of your life.
Rating: - a very excellent trip
I've been a fan of RHCP for years now. But had only bought one of their albums before now (Stadium Arcadium). So i decided to remedy that and i purchased Californication. I had only heard a couple songs on the cd (Scar Tissue and Californication). Both of which i really enjoyed and with the exception of maybe three songs on this cd. I found Californication to be a great trip into the minds of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. If its any indication of how good this one is. I will be back down that ... Read More
Rating:  - A nice return from the uneven One Hot Minute!
Californication was an album I had received for Christmas and was pleasently surprised how good it was. This is a rather melodic affair, basically the template for the latter day Peppers. This is a rather consistent disc much like BSSM, but without any excellent songs. Instead the songs on Californication are relatively solid. Their melodic songs take the cake on cuts such as the Velvet Glove, Savior, Easily, and most of their biggest hits. Around the World is the perfect opener for it's usual flea ... Read More
Rating: - Red Hot Chili Peppers put out another awesome album
Californication is a good album and certainly worth whatever you pay for it (assuming it's under twenty bucks). If you like the Chili Peppers at all this is a must-own along with One Hot Minute.
