One Hot Minute
by Red Hot Chili Peppers

This is a really underrated album. There are no big hits like on their other records, but it’s definitely worth a listen — if only for My Friends, which easily ranks in the top 3 Red Hot Chili Peppers songs. (Edited)

Cet album est largement sous estimé. C'est mon deuxième album préféré du groupe après BSSM. (Edited)

This album was a big disappointment. It's the only blemish on their brilliant 15-year run from Blood Sugar Sex Magik to Stadium Arcadium. But obviously because it's the Chilis there are some great tracks on the album. I like Aeroplane, My Friends, Transcending and my personal favourite Tearjerker. The rest of the album is very mediocre. (Edited)

A criminally underrated album, "One Hot Minute" is one of the strongest RHCP albums if you want my opinion. It is the proggiest album they've ever done, and I like that. I think the RHCP have a tendency to use a recipe when they're writing songs nowadays, but this is definitely not the case on this one!

Three tracks particularly stand out when you consider how prog this album is: "Deep Kick", "One Big Mob" and "One Hot Minute". Those three tracks are all longer, made of multiple sections and they're full of surprises. I really like those tracks.

There are also the hits, "Aeroplane", "My Friends", "Warped" and "Coffee Shop". I think they're all equally good and on par with any RHCP hit from any other album. "Warped" and "Coffee Shop" are especially hard and maybe heavier than what we usually expect from these guys, but I really like it because it is well put together and produced.

Then, there's the amazing "Walkabout" and "Falling Into Grace" that are more on the funky side of the road and really fit well into the record. The last two songs, "Shallow Be Thy Game" and "Transcending" are really heavy and prove without a doubt that Dave Navarro truly had something great to offer to this band.

"Pea" and "Tearjerker" would be the only songs I didn't like as much as the rest, but they still fit well into the album.

All in all, a very heavy album, with a little bit of prog and funk, that will surely keep you interested for the entire listen. Give "One Hot Minute" a chance, it's definitely worth it. (Edited)

definitely their least groovy one, but they still rock! It got its wtf moments like 'Pea' and the second half of 'Transcending', but is still a pretty consistent album.

Best songs:
- Aeroplane
- Tearjerker
- My Friends
