Product Description
RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS (or as Barney Gumble from the Simpsons would call them - 'Chilly Willy') are back in fine form - with BY THE WAY - and it's their way or the highway.
Listen to
The first single 'By The Way' has been embraced by all sections of the music world, fans love it, radio adores it, video programmers are seduced and we at hmv.com.au are tremedously excited to be presenting you with the band's 8th studio recording.Constantly ahead of music trends and endlessly inventive - RHCP are an inseparable, integral part of the 90-00's musical landscape, and every issue of a new album is a global event.
Said to by lyrically retro- and introspective, BY THE WAY is musically a step further away from the rap-metal fusion adopted by numerous imitators.
The record is produced by Rick Rubin (who looked after their Blood Sugar Sex Magik, One Hot Minute and Californication albums) and features the 'classic' line-up - Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante, Flea and Chad Smith.
Rest assured, it's going to be one Red Hot summer.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - By the Way
AHHH!!!! I am so tired of hearing people say that the chilis have sold out. In case these people have not noticed, the chilis like to tweak their style just a little bit on each album. Just because their music now is not exactly like it was 15 or 20 years ago doesn't mean that they sold out, it just means that they felt like making a different type of record. Anyone that knnows anything about them would agree that they like a wide range of music and listen to lots of different styles. I personally, love this album, they got a bunch of songs on it that are really great live(ex. Don't Forget Me, Can't Stop). Frusciante is definitely my favorite guitarist of all time, and he shows his brilliance in this album, as do all the other members. So, all I have to say is BUY THIS ALBUM AND ALL THE OTHER CHILIS ALBUMS BECUASE THEY ROCK!

Retirement Plan
The Red Hot Chili Peppers' eighth studio album finds the California foursome exploring the more melodic freeways of harmony and texture, contrasting the gritty, funky side streets of their early days. Luckily, with this more sophisticated sound, the Peppers have not sacrificed any of their trademark energy or passions for life, universal love, and (of course) lust. Although they recorded the spiky Abbey Road EP in 1988, this album actually sounds a lot closer to the Beatles' Abbey Road, with a little of Pet Sounds and elements of Phil Spector's lushest arrangements all distilled through the band's well-travelled funk-pop stylings. Harmony vocals and string arrangements have replaced some of the aggressive slap bass that the group was initially recognized for, but fans of both the gentle and the fierce Chili Peppers styles will embrace the title track and first single, "By the Way." In fact, this song on its own could almost be a brief history of everything the Red Hot Chili Peppers have recorded: fiery Hollywood funk, gentle harmonies, a little bit of singing about girls, a little bit of hanging out in the streets in the summertime, some rapid-fire raps from Kiedis, some aggro bass lines from Flea — the song plays like a three-and-a-half-minute audio version of Behind the Music. Overall, the album leans more toward the melodic end of their oeuvre, but they have grown into this kinder, gentler mode organically, progressively working toward this groove little by little, album by album. What once were snapshots of a spastic punk-funk lifestyle have grown into fully realized short stories of introspection and Californication. Though the pace of the album falters at times (particularly in the verses; the choruses are all pretty spectacular), it is refreshing to see that as the four Chili Peppers continue to grow older and more sure of themselves, their composition and performing skills are maturing along with them.
