Reviews
It is fair to say the guys were very imature way back when they started and you can hear it in these songs. Anthony even stated in his book that he didn't take his music very seriously at this stage, and nor did the fans take their music very seriously. At the time, they merely entertained high school and college students and didn't care too much for the stardom that would one day await them.But over the years after releasing more and more records, fans of the band have slowly but surely added this debut effort to their Red Hot Chili Peppers catalogue and I doubt many would be disappointed with it. While not as good as the albums that would follow it, it does contain a couple of really good tracks (Out in LA, Green Heaven) with solid guitar riffs and a couple of their usual funky sounding tracks (Baby Appeal, Grand Pappy Du Plenty). Is is mainly Flea and Anthony's album as Hillel and Jack Irons were absent on this album, but Jack Sherman was still a decent guitarist in his own right and will be remembered through a few of these songs.
If you are a keen Chili Peppers fan and haven't gone right back to the beginning yet, now is a good time to buy this album as it contains 5 bonus demos that weren't available on the original release. ~Nathan Dodds, amazon.com
