This is a mediocre album at best. Jane's Addiction guitarist Dave Navarro replaced John Frusciante after he quit the band in 1992. And Navarro is a great guitar player, but his sound is more rooted in metal than funk and rhythm like the Chili Peppers. The stylistic differences are very apparent on this recording. Lyrically, the album seems like a step down from Blood Sugar Sex Magik. And the album's best cut, "My Friends," is ballad that was made solely for the "Under the Bridge" crowd. Overall, this album is a forced commercial attempt by a group of very talented musicians.
