The fifth studio album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and featuring a lovely tribute for the late Hillel Slovak in 'My Lovely Man'. These are just a few of my favourite songs: 1. The Power Of Inequality A powerful opener driven on by Frusciante's riff. His guitar comes close to sounding like an electric saw of sorts for his solo before the fourth verse. 2. If You Have To Ask No need to "add a little lust to the funky ass Flea bass", as it's so laid-back that it's horizontal throughout the verses. There's a break that has the band jumping, and, in keepin' it real they've left the applause in for Frusciante's guitar solo which ...  Read the complete review

Ive always felt like 12 people living in one, as if i were in the middle of a ...  Read the complete review

Blood Sugar Sex Magic is RHCP hippest album to date. Where One Hot Minute was dark and heavy, Californication soft, beautiful and powerful, this is just pure rocking power! Here Anthony’s voice is harsher and hipper, not better or worse than at the moment, just slightly different, John Frusciante with less powerful and more speedy playing, Flea with bouncy bass and Chad Smith with, well, longer hair. If you are a Chilli’s fan (you better be!) than you will love this, and if not, it’s a great way to start getting into them. The Flaws The music really is superb, although it does take a while to get into. It’s ...  Read the complete review

Considering this album was recorded in a haunted house and where the beatles first took LSD, you might think there was a powerful influence over this album;you may well be right... This was the first album by the chilis' on the Warner Brothers record label.They were signed to EMI before,who really weren't that interested in the band.They refused to promote the band that well,they hired a particularly uptight producer (Andy Gill formerly of Gang of Four) and Mothers Milk (the album before this) featured a brand new lineup.The only remaining original members were "Flea" the bass player,and Anthony Keidis,the singer.Mothers Milk introduced the ...  Read the complete review
