[edit] Assumption?
I think that this statement is inaccurate:
"Some early CD pressings contained incorrect track lengths on the back cover. For example, "If You Have To Ask" was listed as 4:11 and "They're Red Hot" was listed as 1:44. This oddity has long been fixed."
I bought my CD copy of BSSM 2, maybe 3 years ago and it has the incorrect track lengths on the back cover. The store I bought it from is a very busy store that only opened in the mid to late 90s, so I can't imagine they'd have (or would ever have had) any early pressings of the album. I'm going to change the statement to reflect this. JedEgan 19:57, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Critics
"many critics feel that the Red Hot Chili Peppers' quality fell precipitously after this album."
What critics think this? Reference? Their last three have generally got more acclaim than BSSM.
^ allmusic don't think that for one thing...they see Blood Sugar as their best album.
"The 1993 hit "Soul To Squeeze" was originally recorded for BSSM and was subsequently left off. Other songs that were part of the original 25 songs recorded for the album were "Sikamikanico", found on the "Wayne's World" soundtrack, and a cover of Iggy and the Stooges' "Search and Destroy"; an instrumental entitled "Fela's Cock"."
i think at the end of the quote the name of the song is flea's cock as previously stated as a song in another part of the atical not fela's so i am going to change it --69.255.63.86 04:00, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sales
Anyone know how many units this has shifted? I'm sure it is more than the 7m of Jamiroquai's Travelling Without Moving, which would make this the biggest selling funk album ever, unless there is another album higher than both TWM and BSSM.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=55301 - 12 million copies - more than Travelling Without Moving. Californication has sold 15m, but i wouldnt class this as funk rock as its primary genre. What do people think? 88.110.67.144 12:10, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
