Editorial Review:
With their second album, Freaky Styley, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were still growing into their oversize funkdafied britches. The polished funk-punk-metal-rap hybrid of later albums was still in its seedling stage here, with the group yet to successfully merge those elements. Still, there's a consistent old-school garage feel. Flea's bass lines, normally in hyperdrive, are clipped and springy, like bare feet hopping on a hot Los Angeles blacktop. Lead singer Anthony Kiedis risks sounding like a parody of the vocal styles he's trying to emulate but commands the songs with every variation of bravado his voice can muster. And finally, the merit of this album could stand solely on the talents of the late guitarist Hillel Slovak, who infuses the tracks with resonating harmonics, psychedelic screeches, and righteous riffs. As disjointed and occasionally amateurish as this album was, it was also groundbreaking and captured the undivided attention of the rock world. --Beth Massa

Rating:  - Red Hot Chili Peppers and George Clinton...A Winning Combination
Freaky Styley is a much improved CD from the debut, Red Hot Chili Peppers still a very good CD. It improves especially upon every listen. I can't stress it enough.
George Clinton helped craft one of the most overlooked and underrated CS in their discography, with One Hot Minute being the most underrated.
The CD is full of hits, Jungle Man, Freaky Styley, Blackeyed Blonde, The Brothers Cup, Lovin and Touchin, Catholic School Girls Rule.
A magnificent release. ... Read More
Rating:  - At least it's their best album
Over the years, I have risen to the rank of Captain in the Red Hot Chili Peppers Hate Brigade. In college, during the salad days of Mother's Milk and BloodSugarSexMagik, I liked them OK but only because you couldn't go to a frat party without hearing at least one of their tunes during the course of a drunken night. Girls in particular dug them, so I kinda had to start liking them if I hoped to have even a prayer of getting them to take me seriously.
Of course, after the success of BloodSugarSexMagik ... Read More
Rating:  - Thank you, Michelle
Like the cicadas, I hibernated from radio music and miss groups that come along; but, Michelle gave me Red Hot Chili Peppers CD that had me wanting more and Freaky Styley follows suit.
Rating: - Super pfunky!
The Chili Peppers' second album is best described by the amazing Flea himself.. `Too funky for white radio, too punk for black.'
What we have here is a very entertaining variety of off-kilter, and bizarre pieces of funky rock; but to give you my view on the Peppers in general, so to compare your personal opinion to mine, I think that 'Freaky Styley' 'Mothers Milk' 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik' and 'Uplift Mofo Party' are the Chili Peppers most creative, and entertaining albums. This is the Chili Peppers before ... Read More
Rating: - Double Awesome!
The early works of the RHCP blew my mind. I knew I was hooked before I listened to this cd. Now I'm absolutely sold.
