Produced by Rick Rubin, it was the band's first record released on Warner Bros. Records. The musical styles of Blood Sugar Sex Magik differed notably from the techniques employed on the Chili Peppers' preceding album, Mother's Milk, and featured little use of heavy metal guitar riffs. The album's subject matter incorporated sexual innuendos and references to drugs and death as well as themes of lust and exuberance.
Peaking at number three on the Billboard 200, the album has sold over thirteen million copies worldwide and was the Red Hot Chili Peppers' introduction into worldwide popularity and critical acclaim. Blood Sugar Sex Magik produced an array of hit singles including the hugely successful "Under the Bridge", "Give It Away", "Suck My Kiss" and "Breaking the Girl". Guitarist John Frusciante quit the band mid-tour in 1992 (until returning in 1998) due to his inability to cope with the album's popularity. Blood Sugar Sex Magik is recognized as an influential and seminal component of the alternative rock explosion in the early 1990s. Steve Huey of Allmusic noted that Blood Sugar Sex Magik is "...probably the best album the Chili Peppers will ever make."... (more)(less)

"Every song here flows perfectly into the next, making for a very rewarding listen. Hell, there's hardly a breath between each song the way they fit together. Easily my favorite RHCP album of the bunch.
Favorite song: "Sir Psycho Sexy"
"
"To call this band annoying would be the equivalent of saying Hitler had minor prejudinces against the Jews. Everything they do seems calculated to piss the listener off, from the insufferable bass wankery ("Give It Away") to the faux emotional accoustic shit ("Under the Bridge"), this album is devoid of anything even vaguely resembling quality"
