With valuable assistance from producer Rick Rubin the Peppers find just the right blend of punk funk and hiphop Even with a running time of 74 minutes this 1991 breakthrough has continuity and cohesion both within and across the 17 cuts Riding Fleas surging bass Anthony Kiedis delivers his explicit lyrics with a rappers flair extolling the virtues and outlining the dangers of sex and drugs Plaintive ballads such as Breaking the Girl I Could Have Lied and the hit Under the Bridge give the album depth and provide contrast to the raw energy of Mellowship Slinky in B Major Funky Monks and Give It Away Rubin masterfully fuses John Frusciantes raunchy guitar with the irresistible grooves Not to be missed on this limited 180g import vinyl version
