Red Hot Chili Peppers Album, By the Way, Is Excellent

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 E.P. in 1988, this album actually sounds a lot closer to the Beatles Abbey Road, with a little of Pet Sounds and elements of Phil Spectors lushest arrangements all distilled through the bands well-travelled funk-pop stylings.
