Summary: Nice debut from the Chili Peppers
Comment: The Red Hot Chili Peppers` self titled debut is like a lot of bands` debut albums. The band showcases the Chili Peppers` unique blend of hard rock and funk in a raw, youthful manner. Obviously the songs wasn`t all that polished and the songwriting pretty immature at times, but you get a glimpse of the Chili Peppers` greatness listening to them. Favorite songs: True Men Don`t Kill Coyotes and Get Up and Jump.

Summary: The Bare Roots
Comment: Most people know the red hot chili peppers because of their Californiacation or maybe Blood sugar sex magik albums, either way those are pretty modern perspectives on a band that's been around for 20+ years. So heres the beginnings, and as basic as they are (poor producing) the real musical talent and genius benhind the songs really shines through. Though the origianl guitarist HIllel Slovak is not present and is replaced by the somewhat bland playing of Jack Sherman the same message of pure raw energy and funky vibe is still translated.Not only are the orginal tracks on here, some of the chili's first recordings are included which is awesome. I have to admit, as a modern chili peppers fan, i was skeptical after a few listens, even thinking it was kinda silly sounding, i have more recently found the cool in this album and can't put it down. RED HOT ROCKS!!

Summary: The Great Debut
Comment: The Red Hot Chili Peppers's self-titled debut CD is a good one. The charisma and flare that would show up later in their music is all evident in this first release. It's a good one to have just to see where the group came from.
There are plenty of good songs on this release: True Men Don't Kill Coyotes, Get Up And Jump, Why Don't You Love Me, Green Heaven, Mommy Where's Daddy, and Grand Pappy Du Plenty.
Definitely Recommended.

Summary: Where It All Began
Comment: 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.
