When the Red Hot Chili Peppers first appeared smeared in neon body paint with socks dangling precariously from their wieners, even the most faithful funk-metal convert couldn't have conceived they would be around some 20 years later, carrying on in much the same fashion. Despite a long history of tragedies and personnel upheavals, the California quartet's eighth album is mostly business as usual--and business, as usual, is quite good. The title track, "By the Way," is a powerful, bruised piece of slap-bass and intermediary white-boy rapping. "Universally Speaking" pays sweaty, soulful tribute to singer Anthony Kiedis's hometown of Detroit. And "Lemon Trees on Mercury" sounds eerily like it could have been lifted from 1984's Freaky Styley. The band's reliable eclectic side, meanwhile, surfaces on the Latin-flavored "Cabron" and moody "Venice Queen." But the biggest surprise is "Tear," a masterful homage to the Beach Boys that suggests the Chili Peppers' perpetual state of arrested development may someday lift. --Aidin Vaziri

 The soundtrack to my life December 22, 2009
Yuval Haker
If I was stranded on an island for the rest of my life all I would need is food and this "By The Way" CD... I am guy who likes music in all its different forms, and I have come to the conclusion that this album is the most PERFECT album ever made.
My love for this album cannot be described in words, but the feeling I get from listening to every one of these tracks is just amazing. I like all of their albums, but this one is just, just.... PERFECTION.
It makes me sick to think that some people could say that in this album they lost their "funk" or whatever. Anyone who would say this just doesn't understand what the chili peppers are about.
This is the only album which I have listened for over 10 years and I'm still not tired of (I just appreciate it more and more)

The Abbey Road LP. November 10, 2009
Joseph M. Perorazio (Columbus, OH USA)
They sing. They croon. They harmonize. "By the Way" is the most musically-accomplished LP yet from the Chilis, revealing subtleties and even a certain sweetness heretofore unheard of from these often-naked fratboys. The funk is still there, although this time tamed (perhaps a bit too much for longtime fans), and the musical palette widens to include country-rock, Beatle-esque harmonies, and an overall feeling of intimacy and relaxed studio discipline.
By the Way October 3, 2009
Bjorn Viberg (European Union)
By the Way being RHCP's 2002 release and their 8th studio album was met with positive reviews from the critiques with Allmusic, Rolling Stone and Q giving it 4/5. The album spawned 5 singles. These being "By the Way", "The Zephyr Song", "Can't Stop", "Dosed" and "Universally Speaking". The booklet is a mixed bag. It has some all the lyrics and but not a list of whom plays what. The photographs of the band is great but the font is so so. The cover makes no sense and I have no idea what they want to convey with this. 4/5.
 Only "One Hot Minute" is worse. September 1, 2009
Brian Burrage (Cleveland,OH)
Highlights from this album are ONLY "On Mercury," "Can't Stop," and "The Zephyr Song". Most disappointing follow-up album EVER. Only the "One Hot Minute" album is worse in the RHCP catalog. Read Kiedis' autobiography- Flea almost left the band because this album sucked so INCREDIBLY bad. If you want solid RHCP, check out Freaky Styley, Mother's Milk, Blood Sugar Sex Magic, Californication, or Stadium Arcadium. Anyone who equates By The Way with ANY of these albums or somehow thinks it is pffffff (HA!) better than any of these albums is a complete Idiot and ought to be dragged out into the street and shot.
