| 3.0 good | RLWFormula | November 14th 16 | Ahh, RHCP when they were just kids. Their first album is pretty much everything you'd expect from a bunch of coked-up funk rockers - outrageous lyrics and aimless musicianship. Regardless, this album is still relatively catchy and definitely not meant to be taken seriously in any shape or form. While the album sounds very dated, muddy, and at times incomprehensible, it should be apparent that these guys were just starting to get their feet wet.

| 2.0 poor | Antonius | February 10th 22 | The self-titled debut album is unsurprisingly, the raw sound of a young band which is experimenting and tries to establish its style through a stream of funk/rap rock tracks. There is nothing in terms of creativity but there is a lot of energy and appetite. Through his aggressive, slapping bass notes who dominate most of the tracks, it is apparent that Flea is the most talented member of the quartet. Kiedis' vocal abilities are still at a premature level. I happened to listen to the remastered version (2003) and production is bad - don't want for a minute to imagine how the original LP would sound(!). Recommendations: "Buckle Down", "Get Up and Jump".

| 3.0 good | Jared Floryan | September 8th 14 | Do not, under any circumstances, go ahead and consider this to be not as memorable nor sensational as the group's successors; Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Stadium Arcadium are two particular examples. At the time of its release, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' self-entitled debut album was a funky and passable way to start their career. The recording quality brings the tracks here down a bit as does Anthony Kiedis' uninspired vocal performance, but The Red Hot Chili Peppers in the main is fine enough.

| 2.0 poor | Matthaios | November 8th 13 | Sounds poor, musically and vocally not a fantastic start and the production is lacking desperately. Certain qualities that would make up the Chili Peppers in the future, most notably funk and groove are almost absent.

| 4.5 superb | JohnnyDepp | March 8th 10 | This album is very underrated I'd say
Buckle Down, True Man Don't Kill Coyotes, Why Don't You Love Me & Green Heaven are highlights so give it a listen

| 3.0 good | ghigno92 | March 4th 10 | Red Hot debut album isn't bad after all. "True men don't kill coyotes", "Get up and jump" and "Mommy, where's daddy?" are good tracks.
