Pros: Creative music and lyrics;
"Transcending" Cons: Didn't live up to expectations for a lot of people
The Red Hot Chili Peppers had a tough assignment: create a successful follow up to their huge smash, Blood Sugar Sex Magik. Many say they failed, but I see One Hot Minute as a very good album that just couldn’t live up to its predecessor....
Pros: Amazing sylistic depth and replayability; technical skill has never been better Cons: Flea sings; too vulgar to share with my kids
I must admit, I have never been a Chili Peppers fan. With the exception of their brilliant cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" (from their 1989 album Mother's Milk), I'd always found something lacking in their music. The guitar playing seemed...
Pros: Every track rocks; abundance of great, real rocking; variety to every single track Cons: One Big Mob is only "really good" instead of being "superb"
Although many may disagree with that statement, that "One Hot Minute" is the Red Hot Chili Pepper's second best CD (Next to their ground-breaking Blood Sugar Sex Magik), I have to think this is true. This CD is not only fantastic to listen to, but I ...
Pros: My friends, The title track. Bass. Cons: Everything else. Wrong musical style for the band. Band not performing well
If you arent a serious Red Hot Chili Peppers fan it is unlikely you own this album, and thats probably a good thing. This is sort of the album that some fans avoid talking about or can produce heated debates between the Chili Peppers hardcore ...
Pros: Brings out the best of RHCP musically; alternative hard rock that's twisted and psychadelic Cons: Not their most accessible album; fans of Californication probably won't like it
After guitarist John Frusciante decided he'd had enough red hot fun for a lifetime and left Red Hot Chili Peppers in 1992, Dave Navarro was eventually brought in as a replacement. During Navarro's time in RHCP, the group recorded One Hot...
Pros: The more rough, rock sound Cons: "Coffee Shop" and "Pea"; Flea is not the greatest singer
This CD was definitely a change from the Red Hot Chili Pepper's last, BloodSugarSexMagik. Instead of a funk sound, the Peppers turned a little more rock with help from a new guitarist, Dave Navarro. I bought this album simply because I love the ...
Pros: The two singles Aeroplane and My Friends were solid Chili Peppers songs Cons: Boring, uninspired, Anthony Kiedis sounds like he's sleepwalking through his vocals, Dave Navarro relies on "studio magic" too heavily...
I'm not sure what it is about The Red Hot Chili Peppers' music that has often left a sour taste in my mouth. It's true that they have a unique sound (I can't think of anyone who does punk/funk/rock like them), and yes, it's true that Flea is...
Pros: Possibly RHCP's best outing to date, rivalled only by Bloodsugarsexmagik. Cons: A little TOO overtly experimental at times.
One hot band. Four hot musicians. One hot replacement guitarist.
Alternately contemplative and amorous vocalist Anthony Keidis, virtuoso bassist Flea, and drummer Chad Smith were pretty much up the creek without a paddle once Red Hot Chili...
Pros: Good hard rock effort from the Peppers Cons: Lack of funky hooks
When "BloodSugarSexMagik" was released in 1991, it was a landmark album for the band and they were becoming successful. To guitarist John Frusciante, the success was confusing and meaningless. On their tour of Japan in 1992, Frusciante...
Pros: Has some of those catchy melodic rockers the band often makes, Flea's bass is amazing Cons: Not the right album to start off if you're trying to get into the band.
This is the follow up album to the most critically acclaimed RHCP album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik. When it first came out in 1995, it received mostly mixed reviews. While this is a solid effort from the band, it isn't up to par with what we know they're...
Pros: Flea's amazing talents on the bass guitar Cons: Not as catchy as most Red Hot Chili Peppers albums
The most notable thing about "One Hot Minute" is how different it sounds to all their other albums. The reason for this is that Dave Navarro, from Jane's Addiction" recorded the guitars for this album. John Frusciante, the guitarist on...
I like the Chili Peppers, but have never been a huge fan. The first cd of theirs that I ever bought was "One Hot Minute," and that was solely because of Dave Navarro taking over on guitar. I love Jane's Addiction, and couldn't wait to see...
