is the sound of a band clawing their way back from the grave. It’s brash, horn-heavy, and features their first real hit: Higher Ground (a Stevie Wonder cover). You can hear Flea and Chad Smith locking into a telepathic groove, but Frusciante is still showing off—playing fast and loud. It’s a rehearsal for greatness. The Masterpiece: Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991) The "Sgt. Pepper" of funk-rock. It was excessive, indulgent, and glorious

and The Getaway (2016) These albums are good—not great. With Josh Klinghoffer on guitar, the Peppers sounded lighter, more indie-rock. The Getaway , produced by Danger Mouse, is sleek and moody ( Dark Necessities is a legit banger). But you can feel the absence of Frusciante’s chaotic soul.
