About
As of 2026, it's 27 years old.
Californication marked the triumphant return of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, reuniting with guitarist John Frusciante to make their most melodic, mature, and successful album to date. After years of turmoil, the band swapped some of the funk-punk chaos for sun-bleached melancholy and genuine songcraft.
'Scar Tissue,' 'Otherside,' and the title track became radio staples, and the album sold by the truckload, cementing the band's comeback.
Melodic, reflective, and hugely successful, Californication is the album that brought the Chili Peppers back from the brink and made them bigger than ever.
