Blood Sugar Sex Magik

Firstly let we warn you of my complete bias for the RHCP, I absolutely love them and along with the Foo Fighters I believe them to be the greatest musical act of any kind walking this fine Earth of ours.

So thats out the way, I must say i think the RHCP get this album right in every single way and the variation they give is truly immense from songs such as 'Suck My Kiss' to 'Breaking The Girl'.

I would most definately recomend that you add this CD to your collection, having said this i still think that 'Stadium Arcadium' is the best album of all time as there is not one song i think lacks quality in that album, but you can read my review on that eif you wish.

I told you i was biased.

This was the Red Hot Chili Peppers album that brought them into the limelight, and now 18 years later it is still regarded as, and is a fantastic album. It includes their massive hit `give it away` which is still listened to by millions of people around the world today, as well as many of the other songs such as `under the bridge` and `suck my kiss`. As a massive Chili's fan i serously recommend this. If your looking to buy an album that you haven't got yet, this is the one you need.

Overall a generally good album with the odd exception easily the best RHCP album. 9/10

(S) = Single

Easily one of the best albums EVER! certainly the best Chili's album. A must own for any fan of music there is something for everyone on this album.

RHCP are fast and funky! Almost all their songs are wild, fluid and sometime funny, not to mentioned their tongue wagging lyrics! Kiedis is a vocal phenomenon. Flea is a genius on musical instruments. Frusciante is a maestro on bass and Chad have some explosive drum play! If you want something that can knock your head out, this is it. Blast!!
