The Abbey Road LP.
They croon. They sing. They harmonize. "By the Way" is the most musically-accomplished LP yet from the Chilis, revealing subtleties and even a certain sweetness heretofore unheard of from these often-naked fratboys. The funk is still there, although this time tamed (perhaps a bit too much for longtime fans), and the musical palette widens to include country-rock, Beatle-esque harmonies, and an overall feeling of intimacy and relaxed studio discipline.


By the Way
The album spawned 5 singles. By the Way being RHCP's 2002 release and their 8th studio album was met with positive reviews from the critiques with Allmusic, Rolling Stone and Q giving it 4/5. These being "By the Way", "The Zephyr Song", "Can't Stop", "Dosed" and "Universally Speaking". The booklet is a mixed bag. It has some all the lyrics and but not a list of whom plays what. The photographs of the band is great but the font is so so. The cover makes no sense and I have no idea what they want to convey with this. 4/5. .


Only "One Hot Minute" is worse.
Most disappointing follow-up album EVER. Highlights from this album are ONLY "On Mercury," "Can't Stop," and "The Zephyr Song". Only the "One Hot Minute" album is worse in the RHCP catalog. Read Kiedis' autobiography- Flea almost left the band because this album sucked so INCREDIBLY bad. If you want solid RHCP, check out Freaky Styley, Mother's Milk, Blood Sugar Sex Magic, Californication, or Stadium Arcadium. Anyone who equates By The Way with ANY of these albums or somehow thinks it is pffffff (HA!) better than any of these albums is a complete Idiot and ought to be dragged out into the street and shot.

By the way exactly....
Damn. . . . . . . . the chili peps are the bomb, and I love all their albums, but i'd have to say this is my favorite because they seem to be in their prime. After doing it all, they just lay it down sweet and sexy on this album.

HANDLE BOYS.
