Review by William Harasym

Album Review: Red Hot Chili Peppers – Give It Away Alright, buckle up, because this is one wild ride through the funk-fueled chaos that is Give It Away. Released in 1969? Wait, what? Okay, maybe someone got their dates mixed up (spoiler: it was actually 1991), but hey, let’s not sweat the small stuff. This album’s a genre-blending beast, hopping between Punk, Funk Metal, Rap-Rock, and whatever “Dance-Rock” even means. Produced by Rick Rubin—the guy who basically invented cool music—and engineered by Brendan O’Brien, it’s no wonder this thing slaps harder than a flea market bargain sale. Now, onto the tracks. There are like 50 songs listed here, which makes me think someone just dumped their entire record collection into this review. But two standouts? Let’s talk about "Give It Away" and "Under The Bridge." First off, "Give It Away." This track hits you like a bass solo to the face—courtesy of Flea, obviously. It's funky, sleazy, and dripping with attitude. Anthony Kiedis spits rhymes faster than you can say “Freaky Styley,” while John Frusciante shreds guitar riffs so smooth they should come with a warning label for causing goosebumps. What sticks with me most is how unapologetically raw it feels. Like, imagine if your favorite party had a soundtrack—that’s this song. And yeah, there’s like six versions of it on here (LP Version, Single Mix, Rasta Mix…), but honestly, I lost count after three. At some point, it’s less an album and more a Choose Your Own Adventure book for stoners. Then there’s "Under The Bridge." Holy moly, this one punches you right in the feels. If “Give It Away” is the life of the party, “Under The Bridge” is the lonely walk home at 3 AM when you’re questioning all your life choices. Kiedis gets introspective, laying bare his struggles with addiction and isolation over a melody so hauntingly beautiful it might make you cry into your nachos. The guitar work here is next-level magical—it’s like Frusciante reached into his soul and pulled out pure gold. You don’t forget a song like this; it’s the kind of tune that plays in your head during existential crises or awkward family dinners. Oh, and props to whoever decided to throw covers like “Back In Black” and “Search and Destroy” into the mix. Bold move, dudes. Either way, it shows they weren’t afraid to mess around and have fun, even if half these tracks feel like bonus content from alternate dimensions. So, final thoughts? Give It Away isn’t just an album—it’s a chaotic masterpiece stitched together from leftover genres, emotions, and probably some questionable substances. Listening to it feels like stepping into a time machine powered by funk, rock, and a dash of madness. If anything, it reminds us that music doesn’t need to fit neatly into boxes to be unforgettable. And now for my unexpected remark: Why does nobody ever mention the turtle? Yertle the Turtle makes a cameo, folks. Think about that the next time you're debating whether RHCP is punk or metal.

Interesting fact about Album

Here’s something cool: The Red Hot Chili Peppers' album *Give It Away* is a genre-blending masterpiece. It mixes punk, funk, metal, and even rap-rock into one wild ride. But here’s the kicker—despite its 1991 release (not 1969, by the way), it still feels fresh today. Produced by Rick Rubin, the guy behind some of your favorite records, and engineered by Brendan O’Brien, this album became a global hit, spreading across countries like Spain, Japan, and Australia. Fun fact: the track "Give It Away" has over 10 remixes on this record, from a 12" mix to a Rasta version. Clearly, they weren’t afraid to experiment!
