(5 out of 5 stars)
"Before the Red Hot Chili Peppers were synonymous with Californication (1999), By the Way (2002), and Stadium Arcadium (2006), they were best known for "The Rockin' Freakapotamus" sound of their fourth album, Mother's Milk (1989), which is a in-your-face fusion of guitar-driven rock, funk, metal, punk, rap, and southern California testosterone. Mother's Milk was the first RHCP album featuring John Frusciante (who rocks out with almost overpowering guitars) and drummer Chad Smith, and includes covers of Hendrix's "Fire," "Castles Made of Sand," and "Crosstown Traffic," and a cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground." The remastered edition of Mother's Milk has never sounded better. Complete album setlist includes:
