"Scar Tissue" won the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Song. CALIFORNICATION was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Album. "Scar Tissue" was nominated for the 2000 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.

"Californication" was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal and for Best Rock Song.

CALIFORNICATION finds The Red Hot Chili Peppers once again in the more straightforward punk-funk mode of BLOOD SUGAR SEX MAGIK. This return to their original sound also marks the return of prodigal son John Frusciante, who takes over for his replacement, Dave Navarro. The Chili Peppers fill CALIFORNICATION with material shaped by personal and professional turmoil, resulting in a somewhat more sensitive approach than one might expected from a band whose hard-core following are skate-punks and drunken frat-boys. Songs such as "Otherside," "Scar Tissue" and "This Velvet Glove" overflow with background harmonies, while Frusciante's unadorned guitar provides support for Anthony Kiedis' emotive singing and broken-hearted lyrics.

The title track is one of the most impressive songs this quartet has written--It tells a tale of wandering souls who've lost their way searching for the American Dream in California. This sensitive showing does nothing to undermine the Chili Pepper's trademark aggressive musical style. If anything, their playing has gotten tighter--as evidenced by the chicken-scratch funk of "Get On Top" and the scat-sung approach of "I Like Dirt." The most impressive anomaly on CALIFORNICATION is "Savior," an ethereal track that finds Frusciante playing with a tone reminiscent of early Peter Green.

Certified 4 x platinum by the RIAA featuring 'Californication'. 1999 release produced by Rick Rubin.

Engineers include: Jim Scott, John Sorenson, Greg Fidelman.

Red Hot Chili Peppers: Anthony Kiedis (vocals); John Frusciante (guitar); Flea (bass); Chad Smith (drums).

Additional personnel: Patrick Warren (Chamberlin organ); Greg Kurstin (keyboards).

Rolling Stone (6/24/99, pp.63-69) - 4 out of 5 - "...tunes that tickle the ear, romance the booty, swell the heart, moisten the tear ducts and dilate the third eye. All this inside of song forms and production that reveal sublime new facets upon each hearing....Not exactly your average white band."
Entertainment Weekly (6/11/99, pp.63-4) - "...the Peppers sound more relaxed, less grating, and...more introspective than ever before...." - Rating: B+
Q (1/00, p.85) - Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1999."
Q (7/99, p.112) - 4 stars (out of 5) - "...the band's intrinsically eclectic nature ensures that they wander into new musical areas.... [reinforcing] their knack for great, unsual pop..."
CMJ (6/28/99, p.5) - "...combines the best elements of the Peppers' ever-broadening sound, from healthy doses of power-funk...to more straight-forward rock...,revealing the band's increased strength as songwriters....Kiedis's voice sounds much more confident and melodic..."
Melody Maker (6/19/99, p.52) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...'Parallel Universe'...smoulders with sidewinding splendour, sorta Janes Addiction rendezvousing with Dark Star on the set of 'Mad Max'....hearing a veritable rawwwk classic like the title track...you have to be glad they're still around."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.55) - Ranked #89 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "[T]he album adds a West Coast psychedelic haze to the band's patented P-funk-punk."
Mojo (Publisher) (7/99, p.100) - "...the Chili's latest riff-test should awaken even the rustiest of wedding-tackle....[their] characterful, tongue-in-somebody-else's-cheek approach still hits the spot..."
NME (Magazine) (6/5/99, p.38) - 6 out of 10 - "...they've never lost their knack for making everything sound like a gleefully sticky schoolyard euphemism, for revelling in the leering testosterone and goateed bass that stalks the world of nightmare..."

5 stars The Chili's Will Never Go Wrong!
This is probably my favorite Chili Pepper cd. It is so soothing, funky, and overall...Awsome! Every song is sooo good. Scar tissue sometimes makes me sad. Eeaasilleeeheeee lets get carried way. Yes. This is good music, baby!

2 stars Compressed and distorted
This RHCP album contains great melodies,... but the sound is so crappy, distorting and clipping all over the place. I always wondered what was the point of putting all this compression and distortion in that great album? When I first listened to this album I thought that the CD was defective or that there was something wrong with my stereo. It actually made me go and download an MP3 version which sounded just as bad. I think that the sound engineer was really high when he mastered this one. So... 5 Stars for music 1 Star for sound (there is no 1/2 star)

3 stars Loudness War, this one lost
While I agree with everyone else here in regards to how well this album was put together musically, technically this album was mastered in a way that has scarred it for life. There is distortion in many places, specifically listen to the voice at the beginning of "otherside" you'll hear a kind of poppy-static sound. This is the digital distortion that happened as a result of pushing the limits of the digital recording to the max. If you want it loud you can turn it up yourself, but to have the mastering engineer try to squeeze it out for us ruined it. There is word the LP version of this album was remastered, so check it out.

5 stars Best Red Hot Chili Pepper Album of all time.
When you hear this album you automaticaly picture yourself on a sunny beach in California. That's what this album is all about. It makes you want to go to California. You can totally tell they are from LA because its got a very smooth and phunky sound. Very relaxing. You can chill to their music. The best songs from this album are Around the World, Scar Tissue, Get on Top, Easily, Emmit Remmus, This Velvet Glove, and Savior. One of the best albums ever!!!!

THE YELLOW SHARK consists of Frank Zappa compositions commissioned by the German orchestra Modern Ensemble in September 1992. The tracks included here are Zappa's reconstructions of these pieces, as well as early tracks and more recent songs. Includes liner notes by Rip Rense, Frank Zappa and Peter Rundel. Frank Zappa was not only a great satirist, an incredible guitarist and eclectic bandleader, he was also one of the most prolific composers of the 20th century. His avant-garde instrumental compositions ranged from the ridiculously absurd to outright masterpieces. On a series of European concerts in 1992, the unique Ensemble Modern performed many of Zappa's works ...
