Californication - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

1999 saw the release of The Red Hot Chili Peppers seventh studio album "Californication", an album that brought loyal fans back to the fold after the mixed reaction to its predecessor "One Hot Minute", as well as winning the band armies of new followers. It has currently sold over fifteen million copies worldwide, making it the band's most successful album to date. More importantly it also saw the return of ex-guitarist John Frusiante, who had left the band in 1992 while the group were in the middle of touring 91's "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" release.
The record was a change of style for the Chili Peppers, especially compared to "One Hot Minute". Although "Californication" still contained elements of their once unique "punk funk" sound, it leaned towards more melodic riffs (for example, "Scar Tissue" and "Otherside") and focused on songs with structure rather than jam sessions.
