Basically a Jane's Addiction album with Flea and Anthony filling in their respective spots in the band's personnel. Underrated as hell

One Hot Minute is quite the oddity in RHCP's discography. Not quite a top-tier record and yet not a bottom-tier one either, it sits in the middle. To be completely honest, I feel this is one of their most interesting records. Yes, you read right. It still has some of that spirit from BSSM remaining, even if it doesn't execute things on the same level. Not the best place to start, and only worthwhile to fans of the band, it will take a patient listener to enjoy this record. But listen to it. Even if it's not their best, there are gems to be found on here. The major weakness is the midsection: "Pea", "One Big Mob" and "Walkabout" ruin the album's flow are are completely skippable. Even so, I encourage those into the band to check this out, it might be worth your time.

Not as hideous of an album as I used to think, but it's still pretty bad.

Have to admit that I keep coming back to this album - and despite Frusciante's absence, the added psychedlia in fact adds hugely to the feel of it. It actually shows just how flexible the Chili's are in their adaptation to Navarro's input, whilst staying true to themselves. Keidis adds another layer to his songwriting here - definitely darker themes explored.

Not a bad album but this record strays a bit too far from their funkier elements that made this band's prior work so catchy and memorable... Will credit that the final third of this album was the pinnacle of this record!

Sure their wahka-wahka white boy funk can irk and lyrically sometimes are oh so dopey, but this is just so wacked out, loud, and legit rowdy that it's hard not to get sucked in. And when heavy fever freakout jams are balanced with the softs of courtly boy-pop choruses, generous acoustic layering, pedal-psych dream states, a solid ballad or two, a fishy Flea+bass only track -- all pretty impeccably played minus the final btw -- it makes for a jumbled-whatever rollercoaster that's noisy and versatile. They jerk tears and confess love for the whiskers etc. of then-recently-deceased Kurt Cobain, they dance in the coffee shop like Iggy Pop, they absolutely shred your face off and shove static down your earhole then get a classroom-o-kids to sing along or goof about on a "Walkabout". Ooo and they do spoken word: culmination of free-spirit altered-mind nostalgia trip is "But love and music can save us, and did"; target of putdown lobbed by itty bitty pacifist a "homophobic redneck dick". Eh, fair enough.

I have three words to kick off with: vindicated by history. It's no secret that One Hot Minute was a commercial failure at the time of release, and the critical reception for this record back then wasn't too kind either - compared to Blood Sugar Sex Magik at least. Most people were quick to dismiss the album mainly because John Frusciante was nowhere to be found throughout it, and in his place ended up being Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro. Frusciante's an excellent musician, songwriter, and all, but I wouldn't call him a god; besides, Navarro has proven with his contributions to JA and Red Hot Chili Peppers' sixth studio effort that he too is a great guitarist. Featuring some of the most brooding lyrics to have ever been put on a RHCP outing, the writing and recording process, and reinstated heavy metal riffage considering Navarro's background, One Hot Minute stands as the band's darkest release yet. It also houses a fine selection of very underrated tunes and boasts a criminal average here. Issued in 1995, the affair is in retrospect an overlooked gem from start to finish. So warping and emotional to match.

The only truly emotional thing the Chili Peppers have ever put out. Sounds great too, screw the haters.

The more I listen to the Chili Peppers, the more I appreciate John Frusciante's influence on them. It's a shame he wasn't on board for 1995's One Hot Minute. The follow-up to the 1991 classic Blood Sugar Sex Magik is a bit of an underwhelming release, but it has flashes of brilliance that warrant it a listen. It is a funky album, but it has heavier riffs than it's predecessor. However, some of the softer songs on the album, like "My Friends" and "Tearjerker" are the best featured. It drags heavily in the middle, but it is bookended by a couple of great songs in "Warped" and "Transcending". Though Frusciante was missed, One Hot Minute is not without substance, even if it is spread out over the album. Also, for you Flea fans, he has a solo song called "Pea" that is kind of humorous.

I can't begin to fathom why on earth this album would have a lower rating than their current "I'm With You", this album has so much heart and merrit... I personally believe most people's beef with this album lies with the fact that the Chili's temporarily changed their sound and got a replacement member that seemed to only work on a proffessional level. However, this album has many great songs with amazing changes and overall brilliant instrumentation. It was the first album that Flea really took the lead with his bass, without being too gratuitous or over the top. Songs such as Deep Kick and Aeroplane make you want to move and singles like "My Friends" bring a much more 90's psychadelic metal influence to it, however, what's wrong with that? Navarro may be a douche, and easily manifests that through some of his technical guitar playing. However, I would say that he DID know what he was doing and he managed to make a decent follow up to BSSM. Sure, it couldn't truly hold a candle, but as it's own thing, I wouldn't hesitate to call it a great album to your music collection..

This album is fucking fun, and gets a nice amount of criticism for being weird. Conveniently, I love weird music, and the quirkiness the Chilis put on display for One Hot Minute is very enjoyable. Sure, it's quite the radical departure from Blood Sugar Sex Magik, but it was a very vital change for the band and their future. Overall, One Hot Minute was indeed one hot moment for the Chili Peppers, and one that should not be given less credit than it deserves.

walking into guru-moo?? get serious! this is timeless! Displays Dave Navarro's talent unlike anything else he has touched. This projects RHCP's chemistry that binds them throughout the years, and although later releases can hit the shitter for all I care, every road trip is not complete without at least one spin.

I always thought the Peppers were severely overrated, and this album at most stands as a testament to the fact that Flea should never be allowed to sing. Ugh.

Well I think you guys are being a bit harsh, but thats just my opinion. I think this album should be judged on it's own merits and well...this album itself was never meant to be widely accepted in the mainstream. Overall I think the album is a solid effort, even though it's not something we're used to from the Chili Peppers.

I don't really like this album as much as the other stuff from these guys. There are only a few songs that catch my attention and the rest are just boring. Aeroplane is one that I love and that's saying something negative about the album when they only song you really like is the single. Yeah, this album isn't too good.
