Retrieved May 13, 2022.The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a particularly good example, as their 1991 classic Blood Sugar Sex Magik stands in stark comparison. Here, the dynamics are superb, the mastering compression is mild, and in my opinion, it’s one of the best recordings to come out of the 90s. Top Billboard 200 Albums – Year-End 2000". Billboard. Archived from the original on May 26, 2018 . Retrieved December 27, 2020. John's guitar technique had deteriorated by this point from not having been tested or exercised in two years, so there are no virtuoso performances like those that we have come to expect from him on this recording, but that is an advantage, I think, as the simplicity of the songs is the key to their genius. Flea's bass playing is simple too, but highly inventive and harmoniously effective. This was a time when the Chili's were playing with each other, delighting in each other's ability, and pushing each other along, which is why this is probably the most satisfying post One Hot Minute record they have yet released. Hell, even Anthony's sex rap nonsense seemed to take on an unusual poignancy for the first time. Dutch album certifications – Red Hot Chili Peppers – Californication" (in Dutch). Nederlandse Vereniging van Producenten en Importeurs van beeld- en geluidsdragers. Enter Californication in the "Artiest of titel" box. Select 2000 in the drop-down menu saying "Alle jaargangen". This LP is a bit better - the vocals are a little more natural, and Flea's bass is a tad bit deeper. It has a slightly more natural feel to it. That's about it really, aside from some light EQ improvement which just could be the difference between my analog rig and my digital rig. The LP just isn't on the same level as something like "Unlimited Love," which sounds truly incredible on vinyl. (Then again, it also sounds decent on CD, as it isn't clipped to death - compressed and limited yes, but listenable!)

During my music technology studies, I clearly remember my university lecturer talking about both records and how he’d gone from being a huge fan of the band in the early 90s to woefully disappointed by the release of 1999s Californication.

It gets more complicated: the rough mixes version of Californication is different from the retail version andthe Greatest Hitsversion. It has no organ at all during the first verse, but some during the second, and it contains the original long chorus. The unmastered/unsequenced disc seems to feature the same mix as is heard on Greatest Hits. The version of the song on Spotify is the Greatest Hits version. On iTunes, the retail version from 1999 is seen, though this may depend on what country you’re in. (When they play it live, they only do one run through the first chorus). a b "Hits of the World – Italy". Billboard. August 7, 1999. p.52. Archived from the original on June 3, 2020 .

These reasons are why many, many fans only listen to the rough mixes version of the album. The 1999 vinyl and cassette releases are entirely forgettable, even in a world where the vinyl versions of albums are typically sourced from different, quieter master files, and sound much better than their CD counterparts as a result.
