This has to be one of my all time favorite albums...I saw Under the Bridge on MTV and was hooked!!! I bought this album and not only was I treated to this wonderful - yet sad and true - song but 16 other songs that ranged from slow melodic soulfulness, rock and funk..it basically captures the magic that is the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Chili Peppers were not new in 1991 - but this album helped catapult their career and the band achieved more main street success!! Under the Bridge and Give it Away received prolific radio and TV play - and still do; however this album has a lot more to offer. Could have Lied is a personal favorite - a little slower ballad but strong heartfelt lyrics! The power of equality, a funky song which highlights Flea's skills on the bass. Sir Psycho sexy is a ranchy rendition, which Kiedis almost talks his was through as opposes to sing! It finished with the insane their red hot - a crazy snippet often played at earlier shows - this may be a regular track on some pressings - on my UK version it plays minutes after the main album ends as a hidden track! One of the coolest, craziest, most eclectic CDs in my collection - and that's why I will always love this!Read full review

I love everything about this album, the funk & The rock! It's in my top 10 greatest/fav albums of all time list! I didn't even know of these guys till this album...(was stuck in the long-haired men, leather & chains wearin', arena rock 80/90's rock/metal genre for years) I bought it because, though I had it on cassette, I needed it on cd! (might I add, I have 100's that need to be replaced by cds lol) It's INDEED a MUST HAVE, for fanciers of rock, funk, alternative & what-have-u! Just get it, your bound to be pleased by this 'get the body movin' & your soul a shakin' Ear Candy!
The album is a great funk rock blend, and many consider it to be their best for a reason. The CD copy has a great build quality with a nice hefty booklet and case. There’s even little lamination points on the front cover for “Blood” “Sugar” “Sex” “Magik”.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
The 1991 Red Hot Chili Peppers album Blood Sugar Sex Magik is a must have for...let's see....EVERYONE!! This album and Californication are the best Chili Peppers albums to date! While later Chili Peppers albums would explore the softer side of the band, Blood Sugar Sex Magik is the pinnacle of the Chili Peppers raucous, funkadelic, rap-rock, nature. While listening to the radio hits "Give it Away" "Breaking the girl" and the monster world-wide hit "Breaking the Girl", don't forget to check out "I could have lied", arguably the best and most least known of the Chili Peppers masterpieces. I love this album and there is nothing to dislike!!
