John Frusciante's return to the Red Hot Chili Peppers was a huge deal for me after being thoroughly disappointed by Dave Navarro on One Hot Minute. On Californication, there is a good mix of songs to rock out to, but you can also hear Frusciante's influence on some of the lighter, and better tracks of the album such as Scar Tissue, Road Trippin', and Porcelain. And as always, all the awesome guitar pieces in this Chili Peppers album are backed by equally awesome bass, drums, and vocals.
