Blood Sugar Sex Magik by Red Hot Chili Peppers

Pros: Funk blends seamlessly with punk attitude.
Cons: A few 'eh' songs. Profanity and sex if that bothers you.

Albums often have a few good songs surrounded by a whole lot of crap. That’s certainly not the case with a certain alterna-funk album released in 1991. Well before the world’s collective bones were jumped by Red Hot Chili Peppers, the band was ...

Pros: bring da funk!
Cons: one un-needed track

Let’s face it… if you want to be able to break down one of the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ later albums, you’re probably gonna have to take the day off. Because these funky mother-something-or-others turned soulful reflective angels tend to love ...

Pros: Insanely fun, insanely good musicianship... just plain insane.
Cons: The title track, some sections plod along.

It is July 3rd, 2002.

As July 9 approaches, slowly creeping up on an unsuspecting public, I've had an edge of nervousness about me. It's the same nervousness that I got in the spring of 2000, and in March of 2001. In May or June of...

Pros: Old-school funk that sounds like it should be backing an XXX-rated film.
Cons: 73 minutes? Grows tiresome after a time -- should have cut out some things.

Make no mistake -- this album if just full of flat-out, old-school funk. I'm talking about the kind of thing that sounds like it could have been recorded in the early to mid-70's. I'm talking about the type of stuff that Starsky and Hutch's Huggy...

Pros: Power funk of the highest order.
Cons: Aerocat stole my idea! :)

As the first part of my contribution to the “Old Glory” write-off, celebrating American independence with a write-off, what better way than with a classic album, by the kings of power-funk rock, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their album ...

Pros: Everything about this CD is perfect
Cons: None

Some of you out there may disagree with the following statement that this is really the best album that I've heard, and I've heard plenty. But it’s true: this album is rock in its purest form imaginable. The talent represented in this album is ...

Pros: Everything is a pro in this album
Cons: Nothing is a con in this album

Although many people will disagree with me and say that Californication is the Red Hot Chili Peppers best album, I firmly believe that Blood Sugar Sex Magik is the best Red Hot Chili Peppers album out there. Why? Well, I'll start to tell...

Pros: Everything. A musical masterpiece.
Cons: Naked in the rain. Nothing else

Ahhh what fond memories I have of buying this......about 8 years after its release. However this is the definitive Red Hot Chili Peppers album. It may not be as good as Californication but this was a huge step forward for the Peppers ...

Pros: Every song.
Cons: None.

This is my first opinion here ... be nice.

You all know who are the Red Hot Chili Peppers are, don't you? No? You should do! They've been around for over 20 years now you know! Get with the times will ya? ;o)

For the benefit of...

Pros: GREAT musicianship; some witty lyrics.
Cons: Some not so witty lyrics; profanity if you don't like that.

I have always been a big Chili Peppers fan, and there is not one album of there's that I dislike. But there is something about this one that is a leg up above all the rest. Blood Sugar Sex Magik was the album that made the foursome one ...

Pros: The Chili's at the prime of their excellent musical career, FLEA!!!!
Cons: Very long (73 mins!), so it's not all perfect (but nearly).

I bought this album in my local HMV for more money than I had (my sister had to lend me some), and played on my own CD player as soon as I'd got back. Considering I listened to this album after I listened to By The Way and Californication (which I ...

Pros: Amazing Masterpiece from the Peppers
Cons: none

In 1991 after the success of their breakthrough album "Mother's Milk", the Red Hot Chili Peppers signed a new deal with Warner Brothers and began work on their fifth album "Blood Sugar Sex Magik". For their producer, they chose Def...

Pros: Runs the gamut of emotions, well-crafted and very funky
Cons: Some throwaway tunes

A long time ago I used to just ignore the Red Hot Chili Peppers - kind of just passed under the radar screen I suppose. I managed to do this for quite a long time and then I heard 'Under the Bridge', went out and bought 'Blood Sugar Sex Magic'. And I...

Pros: Chock full o' funk, some very soulful tunes, instrumental harmony
Cons: A bit too long, some songs are too similar to eachother

This album is the one that broke the Peppers into mainstream success, due to hits like "Under The Bridge" and "Give It Away". The band has always been innovative, mixing punk, funk, rap, and rock into a bouncy, unbeat sound that was perfect for parties...

Pros: Groundbreaking, contains 73 minutes of music
Cons: None

This album brought worldwide commercial success to a band that was previously considered the most talented band not to have made it big. Musically, this album contains some of the most difficult guitar and bass parts ever imagineable. The album has a...
