Mychildrensstore.com essential recording |
|
With valuable assistance from producer Rick Rubin, the Peppers find just the right blend of punk, funk, and hip-hop. Even with a running time of 74 minutes, this 1991 breakthrough has continuity and cohesion both within and across the 17 cuts. Riding Flea's surging bass, Anthony Kiedis delivers his explicit lyrics with a rapper's flair, extolling the virtues (and outlining the dangers) of sex and drugs. Plaintive ballads such as "Breaking the Girl," "I Could Have Lied," and the hit "Under the Bridge" give the album depth and provide contrast to the raw energy of "Mellowship Slinky in B Major," "Funky Monks," and "Give It Away." Rubin masterfully fuses John Frusciante's raunchy guitar with the irresistible grooves. --Marc Greilsamer |

Black album of RHCP |
|
Black Sugar Sex Magic is a good album but bland if compared to the first 4 albums. Alot of changes happened on this album like Flea had abandoned his rough awe inspiring bass slapping which drains out the energy in most of the songs like fair enough he was stepping into a new zone with his bass playing and trying to reinvent his musicianship as a bass player but it isn't as good as before, Anthony Keidis for the first time starts getting professional voice coaching which explains why his voice sounds different than on the Hillel Slovak albums and writing radio friendly love songs some are good like the Led Zeppelin esque "Breaking the Girl" which is one of the best songs on the album if not the band has ever recorded and the funky title track which according to Anthony Keidis' biography about his current twisted relationship with his current girlfriend. The other love songs like Under the Bridge and I could of lied are overrated really bland not because of the lyrics but the rest of the musicianship is bland and has no energy. Overall the album has got some great essential songs like Suck My Kiss even though the lyrics get on my nerves, Power of Inequality, Give it Away, The Greeting Song and as I said before Breaking the Girl The album looses alot of steam after Under the Bridge with boring bland songs with weird random song titles like Sir Psycho Sexy, Apache Rose Peacock and Naked in the Rain. Also another hitch with the album is it doesn't contain that b side song Show Me Your Soul which was on the Juliet Roberts' Movie Pretty Woman soundtrack which is one of the best RHCP songs they ever done with John Frusiciante. Also he is a great guitar player but he will never have the magic and energy he had on Mother's Milk but still his musicianship is impressive and very mature since he was only 21 at the time. But in the next RHCP albums he reinvents his musicianship by being influenced by 80s new wave bands like new Order and mixing it with funk it just does not work especially with Anthony Kiedis's voice which explain why those albums don't hold a candle to this album and their predecessors also he and Flea were arguing on the By The Way album because John had forbid Flea to use his slapping in the guitar tracks he was writing so in other words he lost the plot when he returned to RHCP in the late 90s even though Californication has got a few gems like All Around The World. Back to BSSM Funk purists would most likely hate this album because of it's clean crisp production and radio friendly feel on the songs. I have to admit it took me a while to get used to the album after listening to their previous albums because of the changes and I generally think this album grows on you over time but however I am sick and tired of the hype claiming that this album is the best if anyone considers this their best album it's the equivalent of labelling the black album MetallicA's best album or Def Leppard's best album Hysteria. |

Red Hot Chili Pepper Blood Sugar Sex Magic |
|
Awesome cd I don't know what happened to RHCP's!! They've turned weak in their old age!! No more kick ass music. Now they're soft corporate sweet music stuff like Jim Croce and stuff. Too bad. |

In their elements |

Unlike later efforts, Rubin actually did streamline all the Chili Pepper's flavorful funk-rock divisions into a most cohesive effort to date, even with light latter-half repetition. |

RED HOT CHILI-PEPPERS BEST |
|
This is one of the best pop albums produced in the 90's. "Give It Away", "Under the Bridge", and "Breaking the Girl" are all enormously popular radio anthems by now, but every single song on this CD is great. This album has an energetic yet layered sound which draws you in . If you want some hard-hitting songs, try "The Greeting Song" or "Give It Away". If you want some songs you can just sit back and listen to, try "Breaking The Girl" or "I Could Have Lied". This album is definately RED HOT CHILI-PEPPERS best. |

The album that defined the band. |
This album is pure joy, moment by moment, from start to finish. I don't think there's a lacklustre second on the whole album. When I first heard this I was about 13 or 14, and just getting into guitar. I can honestly say that if I hadn't heard this album my life would have been very different.
The energy that the musicians manage to get onto this album is astounding.
Of all the music that the Chili Peppers have done over the years, I think this album is the one that defined the band. Up to this point they were musos that were really into funk and being silly, without depth to their songs. After this point they seem confused and addled by their own success, and have tried to carry the flame that burned so bright on this album for another (nearly) two decades after it was a natural statement. On this album, there is a convergence of forces that is truly rare and extremely special. Things like this don't happen very often. |
