Californication

Many figured that the Red Hot Chili Peppers' days as undisputed alternative kings were numbered after their 1995 release One Hot Minute, but like the great phoenix rising from the ashes, this legendary and influential outfit returned back to greatness with 1999's Californication.  Guitarist John Frusciante's return brings a successful revival with notable tracks like "Around the World", "I Like Dirt", and "Parallel Universe". The album also showcases the band's versatility with pop-influenced songs like "Scar Tissue", "Otherside", and "Easily". With cohesive instrumentalists and strong vocals, Californication is a Chili Peppers masterpiece..
