Blood Sugar Sex Magik
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 With val

this is the most solid album i have ever listened to, i have over 350 albums and I dont think that any of them even come close to comparing to this one. Blood Sugar Sex Magik dosent have on bad song it wait….. there isnt even a good song on it the entire album is excellent. The lyrics are amazing and every instument is played with such skill its like an orgasm for your ears. Whenever I listen to this cd i just have to smile. The mix between hard songs funky songs and great rock ballads is amazing. And who can forget the 90’s classics such as under the bridge, give it away and suck my kiss are on it but those songs are just a bonus all the other songs on this cd are just incredible. theres even a robert johnson cover! Dont hesitate on this one its the best piece of music you will ever hear BUY IT NOW

This is definately one of the best records of all time. Flea’s one of the most innovative and funky bassists of the last 10 years, and John Frusciante’s solos are sure to blow your mind. Flea and CHad Smith make up what is possibly the best rythym section ever. And Anthony Kiedis’s lyrics are random yet beautiful and humorous. But despite all the bands individual talent (which is elite), what shines here is the band’s incredible chemistry. The whole album is recorded live, with hardly any dubs. They blend together so amazingly into 17 rocking songs. THere’s raw funky songs like Apache Rose Peacock, Sir Psycho Sexy, If you Have to Ask, Mellowship Slinky in B Major and The RIghteous and the Wicked. All driven by infectious funky grooves, supplied by FLea’s bass. To hard agressive rocking songs like Power of Equality, The Greeting Song, and Funky Monks. Many people think of Under the Bridge when they hear Blood Sugar Sex Magik, but I Could Have Lied may well be one of the saddest songs you’ll hear. Driven by intense passion and somewhat dark lyrics, the guitar is just beautiful. So if you haven’t a clue what Red Hot Chili Pepper’s albums to get, screw By the Way or Californication, go for the classic Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

I have to say, I have a collection of over 600 CD’s – and this would be in my top 3 of the all time greatest albums ive ever had the pleasure of listening to. Hardly ever do I “wear out” a CD – this one would have to be an exception. It was pure genious when it came out, and still is today. I think I can honestly say the Red Hot Chilli Peppers have to be one of the greatest collections of the most talented musicians to ever come together. Many people focus on Flea’s outrageous and funked up bass playing, but the fact is Chad Smith is an amazing drummer, and John Fruisciante – is near godlike to anyone who knows anything about playing Guitar. If you are younger and want to know what the REAL chilli peppers are like – get this album!!
