The funk-rock breakthrough produced by Rick Rubin, balancing party energy with the tender 'Under the Bridge'. Loose and huge. Their defining record. Arrives at the top of the Red Hot Chili Peppers page for good reason.

On vinyl: '90s pressings are hit-and-miss on quality; a modern reissue is often the safer choice.
