Californication
Red Hot Chili Peppers

It’s no Blood Sugar Sex Magic. I get this is Frusciante‘s triumphant return on guitar after he left back in the early 90s but I dunno. This record is a bit too tame for me. The singles are all ok, but overall the rest of the album is just fine. It’s not terrible, it’s not great. I feel like it’s like the zenith of just regular ass RHCP songs. There’s nothing here that grabs me like their earlier stuff. Probably a good listen for someone just diving in but the old stuff is better. Hate to be that guy but it’s how I feel.
