I actually really like this album... a lot. I would easily put it above Mother's Milk. It has depth to it actually that no other Chili Pepper's album has. Lyrically the best Peppers album. I think Navarro did a better job than Josh...

darker lyrically, rougher musically (thanks to Navarro for better or worst), this album is the last true statement of the band as an edgier piece with the full funk vibe and the punk attitude that marks their legacy. While it would be impossible to put it at the level of Blood, Sugar, Sex Magik, the pure intensity in more of the tracks make it an album far more interesting that everything they did after. Then again, maybe I just enjoy it precisely because most others prefer to hate it just because it has Dave instead of John Frusciante...

Dave Navarro was not a good fit. There is still some quality here, and it sounds like they're having fun experimenting. Overall, however, this is pretty forgettable.

As good as it can get without John, not that Dave isn't a great guitarist, he fit better with Jane's.

This isn't one of their most popular albums, but I think it's still great. Navarro is compatible with them and the result is a different kind of Peppers album. The material here is excellent but I can understand how someone wouldn't want to come back to it; there's just better alternatives in their discography.

I think I'm the only one that prefers this over an other Chili Peppers album.

For every Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, there will always be an equal case of two great tastes that don't go together for everybody. Granted, Navarro can be overbearing at points, and this does have a different, somewhat offsetting (to some) style than all their other post-Mother's Milk releases. However, any album that has great songs like "My Friends" "Aeroplane" "Walkabout" and "Falling Into Grace" and is still somehow hated/ignored makes for a severly underrated album.

Besides, in the end all was put right with the world and they went right back to writing countless songs about California and how awesome it is.

Aeroplane is a highlight
