Review
So the Red Hot Chilli Peppers chill our musically in this album... still it is not much more than slightly adolescent songs with somewhat funny lyrics. Musically it is unremarkable, and so it is in terms of lyrics.
This is not to say that the album is not enjoyable at a very basic level. The sheer amount of popular singles that came out of this make the album fun to listen to in a pure nostalgia level.
So I would probably not change station if this came on the radio, but I would also not purposefully put it on for enjoyment. It's ok music. Just that and no more than that.

Trivia
From Wikipedia:
Californication produced several hits for the band, including "Otherside", "Californication" and the Grammy Award–winning "Scar Tissue". Californication peaked at number three on the U.S. Billboard 200. It is the Chili Peppers' most commercially successful album to date, selling more than fifteen million copies worldwide; a revitalization in comparison to their previous album, One Hot Minute. The record marked a change in style for the band; Rolling Stone's Greg Tate noted that "while all previous Chili Peppers projects have been highly spirited, Californication dares to be spiritual and epiphanic."

Just discovered your series of sites. You're my new hero. I'm just embarking on a similar journey with the 1,001 Albums: http://listology.com/openstacks/list/chronicle-1001-albums-you-must-hear-you-die
I'm impressed that your doing all of these at the same time. Pretty significant chunk of your life to devote to the opinions of a few random list creators, isn't it? I love it though.
