Free Music Review: CD Great, DVD has it problems
Hit: 4 Stars
While the CD is obviously fantastic, experiencing the same DVD production issues as detailed by the two reviewers from Texas. This is very disappointing as the content is sensational, but extremely difficult to watch. Have Warner release any info about this issue?????Free Music Review: Good, but unfortunately lacking

First off, I'm huge Chili Peppers fan, and love all there cd's, and do think this is a good cd, but it is just sadly lacking where it could have been a perfect cd, if it had been complete. Most the songs that were picked were hits that most people have heard, however the cd is missing some big songs, most notably, Zephyr Song, Around the World, and Aeroplane. plus, on a lesser note, Knock Me Down, Magic Johnson, and Love Rollercoaster, plus it would have been cool to have had the Ramones cover of Havana Affair on a Peppers CD. Since the cd is only 66 minutes at least three more songs would have fit, or if anything, why include Parallel Universe or Road Trippin, they were great songs, but not 'hits' like the others.... However, on a good note, all the songs sound great, and it is great having all of them on one cd. ...the new songs are great too.
As forthe DVD, this makes up for the incomplete feeling of the cd. Since it includes the videos to almost all there videos, but not all, it is a great collection, nonetheless. Two are missing one is probably due to Legal Issues and Copyright, that being Love Rollercoaster, the other is the first version to My Friends, though the other version is on the DVD, I always liked the first version, and it would have been nice to have had both, however, if you listen to the commentary on the track, they explain why it was excluded, unfortunately. However, my DVD did seem to have some type of looping problem that didn't let me play all through, and I had to keep hitting the menu to get to the next song, and after any song not on Blood Sugar Sex Magic, it would go back to the video listing for BSSM, I'm assuming it is some pressing mistake, because I traded it in for another and same problem on two DVD players, however, each song has a commentary which is quite insightful, and a couple of behind the scenes, and on tour footage, and other footage. Overall, it is a great album to add to your collection, just to have most the videos on one DVD, and most the songs on one cd.
Free Music Review: Weird
Hit: 3 Stars
Let me start this by saying that the Red Hot Chili Peppers are my favorite band of all time. I have loved all of their 8 previous disks, so naturally I would love this CD right? Not really, while the songs themselves are awesome, I would have to say that this CD is a little strange. The order of the songs is what makes it strange. Hearing "Californication" played right after "Give it Away" is strange. This CD would be better if the songs were in chronological order so you could see the bands progression. I also think that the single "Love Rollercoaster" should have been on here. The new tracks are really awesome and leave me ready and waiting for the next chili peppers album next summer.Free Music Review: Audio quality leaves a little to be desired...
Hit: 3 Stars
I think the compilation is great and the DVD is wonderful to have but I think the sound quality on the CD is lacking. I don't know if it's my stereo but I tried it on our main system, our mini-bookshelf system, and in my car and the quality was pretty much the same....very average and very flat. There was no punch to any of the music. I heard one of the songs playing on the radio and it sounded great so I have to wonder if it's the CD. Other than that, although that's kind of major, it's a pretty good collection.
