Free Music Notes for Red Hot Chili Peppers: Greatest Hits
Free Music Review: Sweet......
Hit: 5 Stars
The Chili Peppers have brought to the world a different sound for about the past two decades. When it comes to originality, the Chili Peppers are pretty much on top with the rest of them. For those who are fans, you probably need no review to find out how good this compilation of Chili Peppers hits is. For those who don't know, keep reading.
If you're just getting into the Chili Peppers, I would highly recommend this album so that you can see just how good the albums they put out were. Although this CD does have a lot of great hits, I still feel like there could have been more songs added to the list. The album starts off with the two classics which basically jump started the career for the Chili Peppers. I wouldn't even say jump start, I would have to say turbo boost their career becuase they were already popular in the Southern Cali area. Anyway, those two songs would be "Give It Away" and "Under the Bridge". Songs from this album that were chosen were pretty good ones but they were missing a couple that should have been included. Other hits from the album "Blood Sugar Sex Magic" included on this album are "Breaking the Girl" and "Suck My Kiss". Those were very good hits and that was definitely the ground-breaking album for the Chili Peppers.
Next we have "Californication" and "Scar Tissue" which were two really good songs from the long awaited album, and the album that would mark the return of guitarist, John Frusciante, "Californication". This was indeed an instant classic. The style changed just a little, but the Chili Peppers were still as funky as ever. This wasn't my favorite album from them, but definitely still a fan favorite. Other songs from "Californication" included on this album are "Otherside", "Road Trippin'" and Parallel Universe".
The least two complimented albums were of course "Mothers Milk" and "One Hot Minute". There was only one song taken from each of these albums. From "One Hot Minute" was the song entitled "My Friends". I didn't really care for this album because they switched their guitarist. Yeah they switched to a great guitarist in Dave Navarro, but I didn't feel like the Chili Peppers were the Chili Peppers without John Frusciante. "Mothers Milk", on the other hand, is a Southern Cali Classic. The only song taken from this album and added onto the greatest hits was "Higher Ground" which was a cover of the Stevie Wonder classic. This is when Anthony Keidis and Flea had picked up amazing drummer Chad Smith, and teenage guitarist John Frusciante. This album was probably the Chili Peppers at their funkiest stage. If you haven't heard this album, you should listen to some samples, if any, or you should purchase this album if you have an open-mind about music in general.
The last album that the Chili Peppers released was "By the Way". The songs from this album that were included on the greatest hits were "By the Way" and "Universally Speaking". I thought that this was also an album in which there were a lot more good songs that could have been added onto this compilation of Chili Peppers greats. Both songs are pretty average but still good songs.
Last but not least would be the three songs not featured on any of the Chili Peppers previous albums. "Fortune Faded" which is a really good song that can be compared to the hits from the album "By the Way" and "Save the Population" which is an average Chili Peppers song arguably deserving to be featured on the greats. Then there's "Soul To Squeeze" which was personally one of my favorites. This was actually a song featured on the soundtrack to the movie, "Coneheades". This would also be the last song released from the Chili Peppers that featured John Frusciante as guitarist before his leave of absence. This would also become a great hit for the Chili Peppers before having to find a replacement for John Frusciante. Very mellow but still very funky. The bass line on this is phenomenal and is unlike any I've heard before for such a mellow song. Very creative. Chad Smith on drums gives an amazing performance in this song where it seems like he would play off beat. Amazing singing as well guitar riffs. Definitely one of the best!
I gave this album 5 stars because although this isn't the best that they have, it's still a good quality CD with a lot of great songs.
Since I seen people making their own rendition of the Greats by the Chili Peppers, I felt like I had to do one of my own just to give people an idea of other good songs. These are my favorites listed in alphabetical order with the album that it was released on:
Around The World - Californication
Blood Sugar Sex Magic - Blood Sugar Sex Magic
Breaking The Girl - Blood Sugar Sex Magic
By The Way - By The Way
Californication - Californication
Can't Stop - By The Way

Scar Tissue - Californication
Soul To Squeeze - Coneheads Soundtrack
