My favourite Peppers record. Also, Navarro’s live performances with the band were amazing. He had such an incredible groove, he gave the songs a swagger and a slightly harder edge and it really worked.
For me, it is my favourite Chili Peppers album. I have always appreciated them for trying new genres outside the usual "white boy funk rap" that dominated their early 80's sound, but this album took it to a whole new level. It feels raw, dark and very melancholic, pretty much influenced by Dave Navarro, whom I would wager is his most creative work (along with the Deconstruction album perhaps?) I used to bounce between BSSM and OHM as my favourite, but I can firmly say that OHM takes that spot. Cheers for covering it fellas 👍
Awesome! Really happy to hear it. Agree with a lot of what you said. It is truly an under appreciated album. How do you feel about their work after this album?
@scratchatrack I like their work after OHM quite a lot! It is hard to pinpoint, but By The Way may be the first song I really liked by them when I was younger. I know they get slack for becoming a "pop-rock" band, but I have to give them props for still being a major band on the touring circuit with a longlasting legacy and the ability to stay relevant in today's elastic music culture. What do you guys think of their later work?
I haven't listened to this album since the 90s. I remember actually liking it pretty well at the time. I'm not really a RHCP superfan, but "My Friends" is probably my favorite track they've written. I'll have to listen again and see how it holds up today.
I’ll have to check this album out. I’ve never been a fan of RHCP, but I’ve grown to like a good portion of their hits (though I’ll never be a fan or Give it Away).
I really need to check this album out again. BSSM is one of my all time favorite albums and I'm huge Jane's Addiction fan. My expectations were ridiculously high for this album. I don't think anything could have lived up to It,lol.
Underrated. I’m a big fan and John Frusciante is my absolute favorite guitarist. But this album is such a gem, there’s nothing else like it in their discography. Psychedelic hard rock with so many great songs on it. And thanks for the separating the video into chapters! I know it’s extra work but it is appreciated.
2 new forgotten albums are coming up. No song from Josh's albums have been played during last tour (since John is back). Its up to them but i' m just pointing out.
25 years after first seeing Aeroplane (first video I ever saw of the Peppers) on MTV I gave this album a few listens. Just awesome and weird. It is definetly their grunge album. Got a wtf reaction too when first hearing the middle part of One Big Mob. Had to tune it down, because I was afraid my neighbors would assume that a woman gets brutally murdered lol. But beside that I really like that part, because it sounds much like Type O Negative. The slow build up is great and I think it should've had a better payoff like a cool guitar solo instead returning to the I am you are me part.
I think " One Hot Minute " is four and half stars for me . Great album . Warped , Coffe Shop , Pea , Tearjerker , My Friends , Deep Kick ....Walkabout , Aeroplaine ....one of t\ best RHCP albums for sure .
Personally....I think its the 2nd best Chilis Album overall and its really a close 2nd to BSSM. I absolutely think Dave belongs in Janes and Frusciante belongs with the Chili's but....this album is great and has some killer B sides as well. Ive seen the Chilis on every tour since 88 and the tour they did with Dave was in the top 2 as well. It was easily the most powerul they have ever sounded. Typically the people who discount this album are the over Zealous Frusciante purests. This album got good reviews at its release and the show was packed all 3 times I saw them on the OHM tour...would have been cool to get at least one more album with Dave on guitar just to see where they would have gone but at the end of the day....everyone is back where they need to be....BUT....OHM is still a great record. I could do without Walkabout, Aeroplane and Tearjerker...(replace them with Strectch and Lets Make Evil).
I think it's because of Dave he is a legend of a guitarist though but fans didn't like the change, I thought the album was great not as good as later stuff but it wasn't bad per say.
This was the first time I understood musical chemistry. I figured they're a great band, he's a great guitar player, Jane's and the peppers were fairly similar(they both played bits of funk,punk, rock, psychedelic). I figured it would be a perfect fit. It wasn't, lol.I also realized how much John contributed after this album.
This is the apogee of the Reh Hot rhythm section, Flea and Chad are on fire on this record, and everything will be much flatter after that. I also find that Kiedis expresses his vocal abilities the most. Navarro is a far more varied and accomplished guitarist than Frusciante (whom I adore, by the way). The only fault I have with this album is that it's a bit over-produced (too many layers of guitars), whereas BSSM was very raw.
It's just a different vibe. BSSM is a fun psychedelic trip. One Hot Minute is a really dark trip. Two sides of the same drug. People are not that comfortable listening to the latter, demands more from the listener and maybe a certain mood. Great album still.
I understand scratching Tearjerker but scratching the title track???? Id scratch Pea. By the way, this album used to be my 3rd least favorite album. Now its my 2nd fav...Californication is still amazing.
It has all the pros and cons that usually come with a mega successful band’s Drug Album, which are usually frustratingly inconsistently brilliant and awful at once

It had been a while for me as well but glad I checked it back out!
I’ll have to check this album out. I’ve never been a fan of RHCP, but I’ve grown to like a good portion of their hits (though I’ll never be a fan or Give it Away).
It was really good to revisit it again. A unique album but has some real high points for me!

It was really great to revisit this one. I think it may have been the first RHCP album I owed. Been thinking about grabbing it on vinyl.
Underrated. I’m a big fan and John Frusciante is my absolute favorite guitarist. But this album is such a gem, there’s nothing else like it in their discography. Psychedelic hard rock with so many great songs on it.
And thanks for the separating the video into chapters! I know it’s extra work but it is appreciated.
Hahaha, yeah, it takes extra time but since we put the songs in there now it is actually much easier.
Amazing video guys. This is one of my fav rhcp albums
Thanks!! We have an episode on Californication and Blood Suger you might enjoy!
This might be my fav rhcp album alongside btw
It is very underrated!! Even RHCP doesn't think that much of it from what I hear!
@@scratchatrack that sucks
2 new forgotten albums are coming up. No song from Josh's albums have been played during last tour (since John is back). Its up to them but i' m just pointing out.
YEah, makes sense he wouldn't want to play those songs.
One of my favorite albums ever. The raw power and intensity combined with that chili peppers funky vibe it’s just next level shit
25 years after first seeing Aeroplane (first video I ever saw of the Peppers) on MTV I gave this album a few listens. Just awesome and weird. It is definetly their grunge album.

Hahahah, always need to be aware of who your neighbors are! Where do you rank this in their catalogue?
@@scratchatrack personally my favorite tbh. But I love every album from 84 to 95 plus Stadium, because I did not listen to the other albums yet.
Personally, the album is probably in my top five Chili Peppers albums.
1. Mothers Milk
2. BSSM
3. Uplift Mofo
4. One Hot Minute
5. Californication
Solid list!! Reminds me I need to pick up BSSM on vinyl!
I think " One Hot Minute " is four and half stars for me .
Great album . Warped , Coffe Shop , Pea , Tearjerker , My Friends , Deep Kick ....Walkabout , Aeroplaine ....one of t\ best RHCP albums for sure .
I agree i prefer this album to Californication
It's not a Melotron in Terjk it's a violin, it has the credits on the cover
Thanks for letting us know! Where do you rank this in RHCP albums?
@@scratchatrack FIRST! No doubt!
Personally....I think its the 2nd best Chilis Album overall and its really a close 2nd to BSSM.

Yeah, some amazing work on this album. The whole band seems to pretend it doesn't exist now and they don't play anything from it.
I think it's because of Dave he is a legend of a guitarist though but fans didn't like the change, I thought the album was great not as good as later stuff but it wasn't bad per say.
I'm really happy I checked it out again. A different appreciation this time around.
@@scratchatrack Appreciated this thank you 🙌🏼

This is my favorite RHCP album.
It's soooo good!
@@scratchatrack meet me at the Coffee Shop. We can dance like Iggy Pop!
Crazy... its second best album after BSSM and one of the greatest of the mid 90's over all
yeah, it's a pretty divisive album. Most love it or hate it.
This is the apogee of the Reh Hot rhythm section, Flea and Chad are on fire on this record, and everything will be much flatter after that.
I also find that Kiedis expresses his vocal abilities the most.
Navarro is a far more varied and accomplished guitarist than Frusciante (whom I adore, by the way).
The only fault I have with this album is that it's a bit over-produced (too many layers of guitars), whereas BSSM was very raw.
By the Way is their best album
Where do you rank this one?
It's just a different vibe. BSSM is a fun psychedelic trip. One Hot Minute is a really dark trip. Two sides of the same drug. People are not that comfortable listening to the latter, demands more from the listener and maybe a certain mood. Great album still.
Yeah, I like the way you put that. Two sides of the same drug. I guess I've always gravitated to the dark side:)
I understand scratching Tearjerker but scratching the title track???? Id scratch Pea.
By the way, this album used to be my 3rd least favorite album. Now its my 2nd fav...Californication is still amazing.
It has all the pros and cons that usually come with a mega successful band’s Drug Album, which are usually frustratingly inconsistently brilliant and awful at once
Because there's 1 or 2, max 3 good songs on it.
I think it's a great and underrated album. Different from what they did with John, but still some great work here.
@@scratchatrack Everyone is entitled to their opinion I suppose.
BSSM
ONE HOT MINUTE
BY THE WAY
CALIFORNICATION
......rest don't matter
