Back when "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" came out I was living in Dallas. I remember hanging out with a friend of mine doing bong hits and just listening to music. My friend put this CD on and I thought it was quite different and unique. It wasn't really my cup of tea. Back then I was really into Hard Rock/Heavy Metal music. The louder the better I liked it!
Fast forward to last week when a co-worker hands me "By the Way" and tells me to take listen. He thought it was very good. I told him I'm not a big fan of The Red Hot Chili Peppers. He said it was not typical RHCP and I should listen anyway. I took a quick listen and thought it wasn't too bad so I decided to burn a copy. I then took the copy and listened to it it on my portable system on my train ride home. The more I listened the more I really liked this CD. It doesn't sound anything like what I remember the RHCP sounding like all those years ago. It was definitely more "mainstream." When I got home I popped it into my home system and could really tell that this was a very well produced CD also. I have listened to it a few more times and think this should be in the running for CD of the year for 2002. Two thumbs up. By the way for those that know spanish take a listen to "Cabron." I just had to crack up when I heard that song.
