Back in time

9 July 2022

Band: RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS (Los Angeles)
Active: Since 1983 / 12 LPs (so far), with this
year’s Unlimited Love as the most recent one.

Anniversary album: BY THE WAY – 8th LP
Released: 9 July 2002 – 20 years ago today

NME said: “By god is it ever long (it’s 16 tracks), but on the whole it showcases
enough of what makes the Chili Peppers a very good rock group – chief among
these are John Frusciante’s excellent, inventive guitar playing, and the fact that
it is with tremendous conviction that Anthony Kiedis belts out even the most
ridiculous words.” Score: 7/10.

TUTV: I’m not an ardent RHCP fan, but this LP is their best ever to my
ears, after deleting the 6 not-so-good tracks out of the total of 18.
