Chart History/Awards
– “Behind The Sun” reached #7 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks.

The Uplift Mofo Party Plan is the groundbreaking 1987 masterpiece by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It is the sole album to include all four founding members on every track and features the band’s signature blend of funk-rock with influences of reggae and heavy metal. This Gold-certified work was the band’s first album to reach the Billboard 200. It features the hit standouts “Fight Like A Brave” and “Behind The Sun.”In a perfect world, the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ breakthrough album wouldn’t have been 1989’s Mother’s Milk, but 1987’s The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, and the history of this groundbreaking rock/rap band (and likely the entire subgenre it created) would’ve been drastically changed. But the Chili Peppers created most of the imperfections in their world, especially in the late ’80s, and the unusual scenario of four original bandmembers recording together for the first time on that band’s third album would tragically prove to be a one-shot deal. Veterans Anthony Kiedis (vocals) and Flea (bass) had welcomed back original guitarist Hillel Slovak for the preceding Freaky Styley album after using Jack Sherman on their self-titled 1984 debut, doing the same at this point for original drummer Jack Irons, who replaced Cliff Martinez. The energy of having these four friends from Los Angeles back together jumps out of the opening anthem “Fight Like a Brave” and the experimental “Funky Crime”; tracks like the autobiographical “Me & My Friends” and closing “Organic Anti-Beat Box Band” would stay in the group’s live repertoire for the next decade or more. Kiedis’ barking rap delivery drives the cover of Bob Dylan’s “Subterranean Homesick Blues,” and Flea’s ahead-of-their-time slapping basslines stand out in “Behind the Sun” and “Walkin’ on Down the Road,” but Slovak and Irons brought things to the Chili Peppers that no one else ever has. The drummer’s pounding funk backbeats left a blueprint for his successor, Chad Smith, and the manic intro to “Skinny Sweaty Man” sounds like Buddy Rich playing James Brown material. Slovak is at the height of his powers on the rap-rock reggae “Love Trilogy” and funky “Special Secret Song Inside,” which gained some notoriety for its anatomical undertones. But Slovak would die of a heroin overdose the following year, with Irons quitting the band afterward from the depression of the loss. Kiedis and Flea would come to grips with their own drug habits and return with Smith and guitarist John Frusciante on Mother’s Milk, breaking into the arena circuit with a hit cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” — and leaving Kiedis and Flea to wonder what might have been.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers made their stunning self-titled debut in 1984. Produced by Andy Gill, the album is the only recording to feature guitarist Jack Sherman. The Red Hot Chili Peppers launched the band’s illustrious career, which boasts multiple GRAMMY Awards, over eighty million records sold worldwide and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Standouts include “Green Heaven,” “Get Up And Jump” and “Out In L.A.”.The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ debut album sketched out their funk-metal hybrid quite effectively, especially on the warped deep groove of “True Men Don’t Kill Coyotes.” Even though their fusion of heavy guitars and slapping bass was audacious, their first effort didn’t quite gel into a cohesive album.

A pivotal album for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, 1989’s Mother’s Milk turned the tide and transformed the band from underground funk-rocking rappers to mainstream bad boys with seemingly very little effort. Mother’s Milk brought them to MTV, scored them a deal with Warner Bros., and let both frontman Anthony Kiedis and the ubiquitous Flea get back into a good groove following the death of co-founding member Hillel Slovak. With a new lineup coalescing around the remaining duo plus new drummer Chad Smith and guitarist John Frusciante, and with producer Michael Beinhorn again behind the boards, the band took everything that The Uplift Mofo Party Plan hinted at, and brought it fully to bear for this new venture. If anyone doubted the pulsating power of the opener, “Good Time Boys,” it took only a few bars of band’s outrageous and brilliant interpretation of the Stevie Wonder classic “Higher Ground” to prove that this new lineup was onto something special. Wrapping up with the aptly titled and truly punked-out “Punk Rock Classic” and the band’s own punched-up tribute to “Magic Johnson,” Mother’s Milk was everything the band had hoped for, and a little more besides. Effortlessly going gold as “Knock Me Down” and “Taste the Pain” careened into the charts, the album not only set the stage for the band’s Blood Sugar Sex Magic domination, it also proved that funk never died; it had just swapped skins.

Freaky Styley is the band’s straight-funk sophomore effort. Produced by George Clinton (of Parliament-Funkadelic), the album produced the hit singles: “Jungle Man,” “Catholic School Girls Rule” and “Hollywood (Africa).” This critically-acclaimed album marked the return of guitarist Hillel Slovak. It is one of the band’s finest efforts. Remastered by Robert Vosgien.The closest the Red Hot Chili Peppers ever came to straight funk, Freaky Styley is the quirkiest, loosest, and most playful album in their long and winding catalog. It’s also one of the best, if least heard. A year earlier, in 1984, they’d made their self-titled debut with a stiff album produced Andrew Gill of Gang of Four fame. The album had its share of good songs, most notably “True Men Don’t Kill Coyotes” and “Get Up and Jump,” but Gill’s cold and tinny production riddled The Red Hot Chili Peppers with the same sort of problem that made Gang of Four’s early-’80s albums so distasteful. Namely, the production sucks all the life out of the music and makes it seem distant and unapproachable, as if you were listening to the album in a long tunnel with reflective metal walls. Here on Freaky Styley that problem is thankfully solved: enter producer extraordinaire George Clinton. The funk legend not only gives the Peppers the sort of warm and loose-limbed production that had graced many a Parliament/Funkadelic album over the years, but he also seemingly gives the band some serious inspiration. For instance, a pair of covers of funk classics instantly stand out — “If You Want Me to Stay” (Sly & the Family Stone) and “Africa” (the Meters), the latter retitled “Hollywood (Africa)” here — and they’re made all the more standout with the addition of Maceo Parker and Fred Wesley on horns. the Peppers also write a number of strong songs of their own. If none stand out, per se — with the exception of the two covers, that is — that’s because they’re all fairly good, relatively rough songs. Sure, some are slight, no question about that, but they help the album flow from one song to the next, because the songs are all more or less different from one another in subtle ways. And they’re performed with vigor, as original guitarist Hillel Slovak is thankfully back aboard (replacing Jack Sherman, who played guitar on The Red Hot Chili Peppers and co-wrote the bulk of these songs), and he makes a major contribution to practically every song, playing straight funk here more so than the funk-metal that would characterize the band’s subsequent album, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan. And to make mention of that 1987 follow-up, the Peppers would move on to a new producer, making this their one collaboration with Clinton. They’d never quite recapture the pure funk sound of Freaky Styley again, likely as a result. That’s one reason why this album is so special, but it’s also because the Peppers have a good clutch of songs to work with in addition to excellent production. And too, they seem relaxed and at ease here, playing quirky songs without any self-consciousness, a quality lacking on their debut. It’s a quality lacking on subsequent albums also, though to a lesser degree, when the Peppers would begin sharpening their pop smarts and crafting catchy songs rather than just fun jams like these. So if you’re feeling adventurous and are drawn to the idea of the Peppers and Clinton together in the same studio back in 1985 without any pop-crossover ambitions, give Freaky Styley a listen by all means. It’s a cult classic of sorts and a world apart from the where the band would go in later years, for better and for worse.

What Hits!? is the American funk/alternative rock band The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ 1992 compilation record. The album features tracks from five of the Chili Peppers’ previous records including: Mother’s Milk, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and Freaky Styley. What Hits!? highlights singles “Behind the Sun”, “Under the Bridge” and their hit single “Show Me Your Soul” which was featured in the 1990 film Pretty Woman.The 2013 collection called Icon is simply a retitled, ‘rebranded’ version of 1992’s What Hits? It’s a good collection of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ time at Capitol/EMI — i.e., the years before they became superstars — containing the early punk-funk staples ‘Higher Ground,’ ‘Fight Like a Brave,’ ‘True Men Don’t Kill Coyotes,’ ‘Knock Me Down,’ and ‘Taste the Pain,’ plus ‘Under the Bridge’ from the Warner-era Blood Sugar Sex Magik. These aren’t the biggest Chili Pepper hits but they’re arguably the best and most vital, and it’s a good way to hear them at their earliest and nerviest.“ –Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Unlimited Love is the upcoming twelfth studio album by the American rock band the Red Hot Chili Peppers, set for release through Warner Records on April 1, 2022. Produced by Rick Rubin, the album reunites the band with guitarist John Frusciante, who left in 2009 and rejoined in 2019, replacing Josh Klinghoffer.

The first single, “Black Summer”, was released in February 2022; it became the Chili Peppers’ fourteenth number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart chart. The second single “These Are the Ways” followed in April 2022. A world tour is set to begin in June 2022.The twelfth album from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Unlimited Love, is notable for several reasons: Next year, the band will have been around for 40 years; it’s their first since 2009 with on-again, off-again guitarist John Frusciante; and they’ve returned to producer Rick Rubin, who helmed their 1991 commercial breakthrough Blood Sugar Sex Magik. The old gang sounds like they’re having more fun than ever. “Aquatic Mouth Dance” is at once undeniably RHCP and also like nothing they’ve done before: With a breezy R&B chorus and a vibrant wash of brass, it’s almost an Earth, Wind & Fire song; it’s also Flea at his finest, delivering super-funky bass that shows why he’s gone from being seen as a party doofus to earning real respect. A wild tribute to 1980s LA nightlife, the song name-drops John Doe, the Misfits, Billy Zoom, “the old Starwood” and the long-closed Cathay club where the band got its start, and even offers a self-referential wink to an old album: “Spilling beer is a good fountain/ Like the milk from a mother’s tit.” The band is also in a nostalgic mood on loose-limbed “Poster Child,” a wah-inflected wordplay buffet: “Melle Mel and Richard Hell/ Were dancing at the Taco Bell/ When someone heard a rebel yell … Lizzy looking mighty thin/ The Thompsons had another twin … Steve Miller and Duran Duran/ A joker dancing in the sand.” With its “ayo-ayo” chorus, “One Way Traffic” already feels like classic RHCP, as Anthony Kiedis laments his friends getting older and settling down: “Now they read them catalogs.” (His escape? Driving down the PCH, music turned up, to a killer surf spot.) There are heavy moments—”These Are the Ways” is pure grunge; “Here Ever After” feels ominous; and “The Heavy Wing” lives up to its name with eye-watering guitar—and dreamy ones that showcase Frusciante’s fluid touch (ballad “Not the One,” the Steely Dan chill of “Let ‘Em Cry,” the slip-and-slide R&B of “She’s a Lover”). There’s even a song that does both, as “Whatchu Thinkin'” flies from pretty, slightly psyched-out melody to blissed-out jam. The band is also, after all these years, still able to evolve and surprise. “Bastards of Light” gets almost country before it crests in a grunge breakdown; “White Braids & Pillow Chair” is a slice of experimental weirdness, weaving in bits of gospel and rumbling Western scores. (The verdict is still out on Kiedis’ Hiberno-meets-pirate affectation on the stomper “Black Summer.”) This is much, much more than a legacy band turning out the same old stuff. – Shelly Ridenour

The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ best album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik benefits immensely from Rick Rubin’s production — John Frusciante’s guitar is less overpoweringly noisy, leaving room for differing textures and clearer lines, while the band overall is more focused and less indulgent, even if some of the grooves drag on too long. Lyrically, Anthony Kiedis is as preoccupied with sex as ever, whether invoking it as his muse, begging for it, or boasting in great detail about his prowess, best showcased on the infectiously funky singles “Give It Away” and “Suck My Kiss.” However, he tempers his testosterone with a more sensitive side, writing about the emotional side of failed relationships (“Breaking the Girl,” “I Could Have Lied”), his drug addictions (“Under the Bridge” and an elegy for Hillel Slovak, “My Lovely Man”), and some hippie-ish calls for a peaceful utopia. Three of those last four songs (excluding “My Lovely Man”) mark the band’s first consistent embrace of lilting acoustic balladry, and while it’s not what Kiedis does best as a vocalist, these are some of the album’s finest moments, varying and expanding the group’s musical and emotional range. Frusciante departed after the supporting tour, leaving Blood Sugar Sex Magik as probably the best album the Chili Peppers will ever make. –Steve Huey

Following up Blood Sugar Sex Magik proved to be a difficult task for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In 1993, two years after Blood Sugar, former Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro joined up, but it was still another two years before One Hot Minute appeared, due to various personal problems. Navarro’s metallic guitar shredding should have added some weight to the Chili Peppers’ punk-inflected heavy-guitar funk, but tends to make it plodding. By emphasizing the metal, the funk is gradually phased out of the blend, as is melody; the grinding chant of “Warped” is hardly as twisted as anything on Freaky Styley, or even “Give It Away.” The ballads “My Friends” and “Transcending” are blatant attempts to hold on to the mainstream audience gained by “Under the Bridge,” but the melodies are weak and the lyrics are even more feeble. One Hot Minute is as musically ambitious as Blood Sugar Sex Magik, but is even more unfocused, which means it provides the fewest thrills of any of the group’s albums. –Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Many figured that the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ days as undisputed alternative kings were numbered after their lackluster 1995 release One Hot Minute, but like the great phoenix rising from the ashes, this legendary and influential outfit returned back to greatness with 1999’s Californication. An obvious reason for their rebirth is the reappearance of guitarist John Frusciante (replacing Dave Navarro), who left the Peppers in 1992 and disappeared into a haze of hard drugs before cleaning up and returning to the fold in 1998. Frusciante was a main reason for such past band classics as 1989’s Mother’s Milk and 1991’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik, and proves once and for all to be the quintessential RHCP guitarist. Anthony Kiedis’ vocals have improved dramatically as well, while the rhythm section of bassist Flea and drummer Chad Smith remains one of rock’s best. The quartet’s trademark punk-funk can be sampled on such tracks as “Around the World,” “I Like Dirt,” and “Parallel Universe,” but the more pop-oriented material proves to be a pleasant surprise — “Scar Tissue,” “Otherside,” “Easily,” and “Purple Stain” all contain strong melodies and instantly memorable choruses. And like their 1992 introspective hit “Under the Bridge,” there are even a few mellow moments — “Porcelain,” “Road Trippin’,” and the title track. With the instrumentalists’ interplay at an all-time telepathic high and Kiedis peaking as a vocalist, Californication is a bona fide Chili Peppers classic. –Greg Prato

The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ eighth studio album finds the California foursome exploring the more melodic freeways of harmony and texture, contrasting the gritty, funky side streets of their early days. Luckily, with this more sophisticated sound, the Peppers have not sacrificed any of their trademark energy or passions for life, universal love, and (of course) lust. Although they recorded the spiky Abbey Road EP in 1988, this album actually sounds a lot closer to the Beatles’ Abbey Road, with a little of Pet Sounds and elements of Phil Spector’s lushest arrangements all distilled through the band’s well-traveled funk-pop stylings. Harmony vocals and string arrangements have replaced some of the aggressive slap bass that the group was initially recognized for, but fans of both the gentle and the fierce Chili Peppers styles will embrace the title track and first single, “By the Way.” In fact, this song on its own could almost be a brief history of everything The Red Hot Chili Peppers have recorded: fiery Hollywood funk, gentle harmonies, a little bit of singing about girls, a little bit of hanging out in the streets in the summertime, some rapid-fire raps from Anthony Kiedis, some aggro basslines from Flea — the song plays like a three-and-a-half-minute audio version of Behind the Music. Overall, the album leans more toward the melodic end of their oeuvre, but they have grown into this kinder, gentler mode organically, progressively working toward this groove little by little, album by album. What once were snapshots of a spastic punk-funk lifestyle have grown into fully realized short stories of introspection and Californication. Though the pace of the album falters at times (particularly in the verses; the choruses are all pretty spectacular), it is refreshing to see that as the four Chili Peppers continue to grow older and more sure of themselves, their composition and performing skills are maturing along with them. –Zac Johnson

Indulgence has long been a way of life for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, yet they resisted the siren’s call of the double album until 2006’s Stadium Arcadium. Sure, 1991’s breakthrough Blood Sugar Sex Magik was as long as a classic double LP, but such distinctions mattered little in the era when vinyl gave way to CD, and they matter less now, as the CD gradually gives way to digital-only releases. In fact, like how Blood Sugar was the tipping point when the LPs ceded ground to CDs, Stadium Arcadium could be seen as the point when albums were seen as a collection of digital playlists. Yes, it’s pressed up as a two-disc set — including an extravagant but pointless special edition housed in a clunky box that includes a make-yer-own-spinning-top — but this is an album that’s designed for you to mix and match, create your own playlist, rip and burn on your own. It’s designed for you to sequence its 28 songs in some kind of cohesive manner, since the band sure didn’t take the time to do that here; it’s the first major album by a major band that makes as much sense on random as it does in its proper sequencing. Well, that’s not entirely true: the official 28-song album does begin with “Dani California,” the clearest single here, the one thing that truly grabs attention upon first listen and worms its way into your subconscious, where it just won’t let go, as so much of Anthony Kiedis’ catchiest melodies do. After that, it’s a long, winding path of alternately spacey and sunny pop, ballads, and the occasional funk workout that used to be the Chili Peppers’ signature but now functions as a way to break up the monotony. And there needs to be something to break up the monotony, not because the music is bad but because it all exists at the same level and is given a flat, colorless production that has become the signature of Rick Rubin as of late.
Rubin may be able to create the right atmosphere for Flea and John Frusciante to run wild creatively — an opportunity that they seize here, which is indeed a pleasure to hear — but he does nothing to encourage them to brighten the finished recording up with some different textures, or even a greater variety of guitar tones. As such, the bare-bone production combined with the relentless march of songs gives Stadium Arcadium the undeniable feel of wading through the demos for a promising project instead of a sprawling statement of purpose; there’s not enough purpose here for it to be a statement. That fault is down to the band not forming the raw material into something palatable for the listener, but there’s also the problem that as a lyricist Anthony Kiedis just isn’t that deep or clever enough to provide cohesive themes for an album of this length; he tackles no new themes here, nor does he provide new insight to familiar topics. To his credit, he does display a greater versatility as a vocalist, cutting back on the hambone rapping that used to be his signature and crooning throughout the bulk of this album, usually on key. That said, he still has enough goofy tics to undercut his attempts at sincerity, and he tends to be a bit of a liability to the band as a whole; with a different singer, who could help shape and deliver these songs, this album might not seem as formless and gormless. But there is a fair amount of pleasures here, all down to the interplay between Flea and Frusciante. While drummer Chad Smith does prove himself quite versatile here, gracefully following the eccentric turns and meanderings of the bassist and guitarist, the string instruments are the reason to listen to Stadium Arcadium. That’s always been the case to a certain extent with the Chili Peppers, but here it’s especially true, as they push and pull, rave and rumble, lie back and rock out — pretty much spit out anything they can do on their instruments over the course of 28 songs. As good as much of this is, there is a little bit of monotony here, since they’re working variations on their signature themes, and they haven’t found a way to make these variations either transcendent or new; they’re just very good renditions on familiar themes. These tracks rarely betray their origins as studio jams — more than ever, it’s possible to hear that the track came first, then the song — and while that can result in some good listening, it all does kind of drift together. That said, there are no bad tracks here — it’s all of a relatively high quality — but there are no standouts either, so it takes a very dedicated fan to start sorting out the subtleties between the tracks (not the wheat from the chaff, since it’s all wheat). And while those hardcore fans may certainly enjoy the make-your-own-adventure spirit of Stadium Arcadium, it’s hard not to feel that it’s the band’s responsibility to take this very good repetitive album and mold it into something sharper and more effective. So call it the rock version of Peter Jackson’s King Kong: there’s something pretty great and lean buried beneath the excess, but it’s so indulgent, it’s a work that only a fanboy could truly love. –Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Losing John Frusciante for a second time doesn’t send the Red Hot Chili Peppers into a tailspin. By now, the Chili Peppers shed guitarists like a second skin, changing their outer layer but retaining their inner core. Such is the case with I’m with You, the band’s first album since 2006’s Stadium Arcadium. If that double-disc was defined by its unwieldy sprawl, its songs spewed not sequenced, I’m with You is characterized by its focus, both within individual tunes and the songs as a whole. New guitarist Josh Klinghoffer — veteran sideman and longtime pal of Frusciante who provided secondary guitar on the closing stretch of the Stadium Arcadium tour — doesn’t compete for center stage the way previous Peppers did. He doesn’t strut, he weaves, disappearing so completely into the arrangements he doesn’t seem to leave his signature despite the heavy layers of guitars on each cut. This makes I’m with You the flipside of One Hot Minute, where the Chili Peppers bent over backward to accommodate Dave Navarro: the Peppers don’t miss a step, they almost seem relieved to be carrying on without Frusciante. Part of that could be due to a newfound musical elasticity, a reflection of Flea taking music theory classes at USC during the group’s half-decade gap between albums. Certainly a song like “Happiness Loves Company” — half Beach Boys, half Kinks — shows a compositional dexterity unthinkable for previous incarnations of the Peppers, but there’s no showiness here, the album is all about precision. This extends to Anthony Kiedis, who neither hams it up on the ballads nor goofs around on his raps, he merely serves the purposes of the song like the old pro he now is. Ultimately, the Red Hot Chili Peppers are served well by that professionalism; they’re long past the point of proving themselves, they’re no longer here for a party, they’re rock & roll lifers, and I’m with You illustrates they can settle into maturity convincingly. –Stephen Thomas Erlewine

2022 release, the 13th studio album from the alt-rock band. “We went in search of ourselves as the band that we have somehow always been. Just for the fun of it we jammed and learned some old songs. Before long we started the mysterious process of building new songs. A beautiful bit of chemistry meddling that had befriended us hundreds of times along the way. Once we found that slip stream of sound and vision, we just kept mining. With time turned into an elastic waist band of oversized underwear, we had no reason to stop writing and rocking. It felt like a dream. When all was said and done, our moody love for each other and the magic of music had gifted us with more songs than we knew what to do with. Well we figured it out. 2 double albums released back to back. The second of which is easily as meaningful as the first or should that be reversed. ‘Return of the Dream Canteen’ is everything we are and ever dreamed of being. It’s packed.”The Red Hot Chili Peppers are having fun in 2022. After Unlimited Love, released seven months ago, the Californians are following up with Return Of The Dream Canteen, certainly their best album in a long time. Why? Because its raw, stripped-back vibes drop us right in the middle of a hefty, super-controlled jam session. Of course, the two records were recorded at the same time, but the band clearly wanted to deliver two distinct musical intentions—and it works. It’s obviously impossible to escape their adolescent ravings about ‘high school’, and tedious teachers on the single ‘Eddie’. But the main thing is that the second half is all Stratocaster, which entails a series of pretty adventurous ideas. For example, there are two tracks which use electronic drums: ‘My Cigarette’ (which is almost reminiscent of Prince) and the TR-808 cowbell-clad ballad that is ‘In The Snow’. These pleasantly surprising choices are mixed together with the usual irony of ‘Peace and Love’, the whispered pop delirium of ‘Shoot Me A Smile’, and of course the essential funk-rock urges on ‘Afterlife’ or on the single ‘Tippa My Tongue’. Like its predecessor, Return Of The Dream Cantine is produced by Rick Rubin, who clearly pushed the band to remove any sense of artifice and thus contributed to making this album such a great success in terms of its composition and arrangement. – Brice Miclet

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Greatest Hits (2003/2014)

The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ first Warner Bros. Greatest Hits album spans almost 15 years of rock greatness. Featuring all of the band’s best- loved recordings, Greatest Hits includes “Under The Bridge” (#2 pop and gold), the Top 10 “Scar Tissue,” six classic Modern Rock #1s, a pair of Modern Rock Top 20s and three other fan favorites plus two brand-new songs. Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Greatest Hits will be en fuego this holiday gift-buying season.The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Greatest Hits is a compelling listen, culling tracks from the band’s 1989 breakthrough, Mother’s Milk, to its melodic 2002 release, By the Way. In some ways, one could view this as the best of the John Frusciante years, charting most of the band’s work with the talented guitarist after the death of original member Hillel Slovak. The tracks here are all hits, including such stellar singles as “Give It Away,” “Under the Bridge,” and Frusciante’s first single after his phoenix-like resurrection from heroin addiction, “Scar Tissue.” It should be noted, though, that as a Warner-issued hits collection such fan favorites as “Taste the Pain” and the touchstone antidrug anthem “Knock Me Down” – both from the 1989 EMI release Mother’s Milk – aren’t included. (Similarly, nothing from the Chili Peppers’ rambunctious early efforts – including 1984’s Red Hot Chili Peppers, 1985’s Freaky Styley, and 1987’s The Uplift Mofo Party Plan – appears on this hits collection.) Nonetheless, Greatest Hits still portrays the band as one of the most consistently brilliant groups of its generation. Helping to paint this picture are such solid cuts as the group’s searing, albeit overplayed, 1989 cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Higher Ground” as well as its rarely available addition to the Coneheads movie soundtrack, “Soul to Squeeze.” Not surprisingly, “My Friends” is the sole cut to make it from the band’s disappointing one-off effort with Jane’s Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro, One Hot Minute. Throw in two new tracks (“Fortune Faded” and “Save the Population”) that easily match the quality of the material collected here, and you’ve got one of the most consistently listenable Chili Pepper releases since Blood Sugar Sex Magik. For fans who gave up after Frusciante left the band, Greatest Hits is the perfect reintroduction.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik is the chart-topping fifth studio album by American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, released on September 24, 1991. Produced by Rick Rubin, it was the band’s first record released on Warner Bros. Records. The musical styles of Blood Sugar Sex Magik differed notably from the techniques employed on the Chili Peppers’ preceding album, Mother’s Milk, and featured little use of heavy metal guitar riffs. The album’s subject matter incorporated sexual innuendos and references to drugs and death as well as themes of lust and exuberance.Peaking at number one in Australia, New Zealand and Canada, and at three on the United States’ Billboard 200, the album has sold over 13 million copies worldwide and was the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ introduction into worldwide popularity and critical acclaim. Blood Sugar Sex Magik produced an array of hit singles including the hugely successful “Under the Bridge”. The other four singles released were “Give It Away”, “Suck My Kiss”, “Breaking the Girl”, and “If You Have to Ask”. Guitarist John Frusciante quit the band mid-tour in 1992 (not returning until 1998) due to his inability to cope with the album’s popularity. Blood Sugar Sex Magik is recognized as an influential and seminal component of the alternative rock explosion in the early 1990s. Steve Huey of AllMusic noted that Blood Sugar Sex Magik is “…probably the best album the Chili Peppers will ever make.”

The Red Hot Chili Peppers’ best album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik benefits immensely from Rick Rubin’s production — John Frusciante’s guitar is less overpoweringly noisy, leaving room for differing textures and clearer lines, while the band overall is more focused and less indulgent, even if some of the grooves drag on too long. Lyrically, Anthony Kiedis is as preoccupied with sex as ever, whether invoking it as his muse, begging for it, or boasting in great detail about his prowess, best showcased on the infectiously funky singles “Give It Away” and “Suck My Kiss.” However, he tempers his testosterone with a more sensitive side, writing about the emotional side of failed relationships (“Breaking the Girl,” “I Could Have Lied”), his drug addictions (“Under the Bridge” and an elegy for Hillel Slovak, “My Lovely Man”), and some hippie-ish calls for a peaceful utopia. Three of those last four songs (excluding “My Lovely Man”) mark the band’s first consistent embrace of lilting acoustic balladry, and while it’s not what Kiedis does best as a vocalist, these are some of the album’s finest moments, varying and expanding the group’s musical and emotional range. Frusciante departed after the supporting tour, leaving Blood Sugar Sex Magik as probably the best album the Chili Peppers will ever make. –Steve Huey
