Red Hot Chili Peppers "Californication" Rock Music CD Review

Californication is the latest Rock CD realeased by the extremely talented group Red Hot Chili Peppers and they have once again have delivered a brilliant collection of tracks. I'm confident Red Hot Chili Peppers fans, and Rock fans alike will be pleased with this one.

Unfortunately, it's not everyday that I get a CD from an artist that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just can't force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Californication. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Red Hot Chili Peppers's most impressive releases ever.

Listen to and I think you'll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Red Hot Chili Peppers are in top form.

While this entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are Around The World [track 1], This Velvet Glove [track 11], and Right On Time [track 14].

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 9, Emit Remmus. Wow!
