Blood Sugar Sex Magik

This was my favorite from them until I listened to Stadium Arcadium, but it's still a really great album

Did not expect to get such an amazing sounding pressing of this album. The etching on the vinyl reads BBJJ-147-02, which means it was pressed at Optimal Media in Germany. Also on the etching is 1-528928-D is a 2011/2012 remastered analog cut of the original 1991 recording without any digital compression. If you have the right speakers and amplifier you will hear a significant difference. Worth every penny.

BSSM Sounds nice. Been a long time. Measuring 173 but great sound.

Great record. Maybe their best? Great producer. Great band.

Excelente lo recomiendo

The Chili Peppers have been around for almost 29 years. The band is much older than me or any of my friends who know and listen to them. We grew up with the Chili Peppers as a famous band with great songs from the past twenty years that had become major hits. But back in early 1991, the Chilis were mostly just an alternative rock group that had a mix of funk, punk, and metal that didn't always come together perfectly with the reputation of performing only wearing one sock each. They were crazy party animals whose first guitarist died in 1988 from an overdose. They had four albums, only one of which made it on Billboard. Blood Sugar changed all that into what we know today. Two of their most successful songs ever, "Under the Bridge" and "Give it Away," came from this album. It was the right combination of music types that came out at the right time, when people were looking for new types of rock to go mainstream. There are plenty of great songs, especially those two singles. "Breaking the Girl" has a great little bridge with a bunch of percussion sounds, and there are plenty of great sounds and funky lyrics on songs like "If You Have to Ask," "Apache Rose Peacock," and "My Lovely Man." The chorus in "The Power of Equality" is in a minor chord or something and sounds a little sour, but it works. There are also some sexual references, such as the name of the song "Suck My Kiss" and, the eight and a half minute monster, "Sir Psycho Sexy." Unfortunately, the biggest flaw on this album is that several of these songs sound very similar. A friend of mine will often play songs from Blood Sugar in a playlist, and I know that the songs are by the Chili Peppers right away, but can't figure out what song it is without listening to the lyrics. I'd say there are five or six songs like that (which is why it's only four stars). Strangely enough, "Under the Bridge" and "Give it Away" are very different songs compared to each other, and aside from the five similar songs, the rest of the album follows suit in trying to expand the type of music that the band is coming up with. There are some softer, sweeter songs, like the sorrowful "Under the Bridge," one of the first times that frontman Anthony Kiedis really sings, or "I Could Have Lied." There are some more crazy songs, like "The Greeting Song" (whose lyrics I still mostly cannot understand to this day). This one album showcases the Chili Peppers' versatility and different musical styles, a great mix between the good ole days that many people aren't aware of and the success that came afterwards. This album is essential listening.

Excelente sonido, muy buena compra.

IT BSSM

A must have 2 LP set. Arrived in immaculate condition. It sounds awesome!! Played on Audio-Technica AT-LP3XBT-WH Turntable, Pre-Amp Fluance PA10, Receiver Denon AVR-S570BT, Speakers Polk Audio RTI A1, Sub-Woofer Audioengine S8

Miracolo cd nuovo e arrivato con la cover integra! L album del 1991 dei r.h.c.p è forse l'album più famoso del gruppo quindi è da prendere sicuramente se siete appassionati di questo genere di musica.

bien reçu

Worthy pressing for a quality, classic record. This record has been recut from the analog tapes supposedly and the stage shines with minimal digital interference.

高校の頃から大好きなアルバムで、1曲目から17曲目までとにかく楽しめる名盤。 圧巻は勿論「GiveItAway」だが、アルバムタイトル曲「BloodSugarSexMagic」もいい。 「UnderTheBridge」の素朴な物悲しさも情緒があって素晴らしい。 是非、聴いてみていただきたいです。 購入して後悔は無い1枚です。
