Blood Sugar Sex Magik
Without a doubt, one could say 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' was produced at the peak of the Chili Peppers' carreer, despite it being their fifth. It holds songs such as Suck my Kiss, Under the Bridge and Give it Away which all posed a strong statement for the young 90s band. They have little room to improve because of their excellence and progress. Something they're missing in their recent album 'Stadium Arcadium' was the great bass lines by Flea, a long time member of RHCP. The success was a surprise due to the loss of two members, the guitarist, Hillel Slovak, who died in 1988 due to heroine overdose, and the drummer, Jack Irons, whom left because of the death.
John Frusciante, a solo guitarist, joined in 1989 to put out 'Mother's Milk' the same year, which did not nearly make as much success as Blood Sugar Sex Magik made two years later.
Most would consider this album being a funk rock genre, and it's true that the majority of their earlier work has the funk feel to it with the outstanding bass lines and the crazed shouts of Anthony Kiedis. Although their later work is losing the classic style and turning to alternative rock, so this album is in high regard.
Worthy of a 4.5 out of 5
