Amazon Review

When the Red Hot Chili Peppers first appeared smeared in neon 

body paint with socks dangling precariously from their wieners, 

even the most faithful funk-metal convert couldn't have conceived 

they would be around some 20 years later, carrying on in much 

the same fashion. Despite a long history of tragedies and personnel 

upheavals, the California quartet's eighth album is mostly business 

as usual--and business, as usual, is quite good. The title track, 

"By the Way," is a powerful, bruised piece of slap-bass and 

intermediary white-boy rapping. "Universally Speaking" pays sweaty,

soulful tribute to singer Anthony Kiedis's hometown of Detroit.

And "Lemon Trees on Mercury" sounds eerily like it could have been

lifted from 1984's Freaky Styley. The band's reliable eclectic 

side, meanwhile, surfaces on the Latin-flavored "Cabron" and moody 

"Venice Queen." But the biggest surprise is "Tear," a masterful 

homage to the Beach Boys that suggests the Chili Peppers' 

perpetual state of arrested development may someday lift.
