This is the only RHCP album that I have become bored with. I agree it is still a great album, maybe I just listened to it too much. Like I like the songs... just become bored with them... except maybe can't stop and because I hate TV, throw away your television,cabron is fun and Dosed is unique...

A very underrated album, Red Hot Chili Pepper's best imo. Anthony Kiedis is at his best in this album, whereas he usually drags the band down.

When this album first came out, I was bummed because there was no funk and too many feminine sounding harmonies. I listen to it now and realize just how much depth this album has. There are subtleties in these songs that are so simple, yet so beautiful and genius. Then it all closes out with the epic "Venice Queen", which is like a little story book at the end of the album. Very underrated.

Nostalgia wins the game for me here, the album may not be too good but still above average.
I used to play this album non stop just because of the singles they are amazing.

I have really mixed feelings about this one. I remember starting secondary school when this album came out. It was really popular, especially amongst people my age. I pretended to like RHCP just to fit in, and I bought this album out of conformity. I've just listened it to the first time in about 8 years. I think the first half is just AWFUL. The tracks are horribly mainstream - I hate them all, even despite the nostalgia. However, the second half of this album is actually pretty good (from track 7 and onwards). My favourite tracks BY FAR are Can't Stop, Tear, Minor Thing, and Warm Tape.

Solid album, not a stand out.

Overall, it's perhaps the most consistent RHCP album. It just doesn't have the high points of Californication and BSSM. Nothing wrong with this album at all - a solid listen. It just doesn't knock my socks off.

Almost as good as 'Californication'. Favs 'Can't stop' and 'Zephyr song'.

Very mellow progression from already-pretty-mellow Californication. They try for something more moody and complex, and in my opinion they succeed. A great album.

I don't understand the hate this album gets. It's unbelievable. There are no bad songs! I think this has the best first 4 songs on any album ever.

I absolutely love Venice Queen. I thought it was a Radiohead song at first. This is the Place, Midnight, and Tear are severely underrated as well. There is no way you can think these songs all sound the same. I think if everybody else called this a masterpiece like BSSM gets labeled, people would accept it as such.
