this new found genius was mainly inspired by the return of john frusciante, who had left the band 6 years earlier to live as a full time smack junkie, who was just about dead when dave navaro left and the band brought him back in. they wrote the album with inspired bass and guitar rytmes and the result can be found in record stores.
CALIFORNICATION
AROUND THE WORLD could be a lot better after the wicked start to it, sounds like the old funk sound that most people didnt like, i agree too but the outro is good

CALIFORNICATION my mate daviid butler says its too long, but how can art be too long? this is master craftsmanship, class riffing on guitar good bass support, deadly lryics, drumming matches pefectly 9/10 (im only showwing off now, im such a tit, but i can play this 2 )

EMIT REMNUS this is outragous! LONDON IN THE SUMMER TIME - VERM VERM VERM
VERM...... Sounds like a ferrari waiting to blow your pants off. this is the simplest song to play( providing youve a fender statocast and a neat supply of electricity) youll need it all, what a song the chorus just totally rocks out. and intelligent use of a wah wah pedal and bar does the rest.

TRHIS VELVET GLOVE good song this, they are a very spiritual band and it can be seen in the regflections of this.
7/10

thisa album doesnt seem to be as popular as the previous one, i dont see whhy doh, its much more intelligent and beutifull. everone knows the by the way single, but the rest of the album is introspective, (bit of a cliche here, but hes jusyt broke up with his bird, and all that goes with)
BY THE WAY the 1st single, good intro, hey everyone knows it, ill give it...........say..

MINOR THING this is a surprisingly good song. the one before it starts off the same more or less, but that was a big 5 minute break for people to go to the jacks without stopping the c.d. THIS song on the other hand is class, and a sollo from frusciante is totaly foxy.
8/10
