" Universally Speaking " is the fifth single by US Alternative rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 2002 album By the Way. The lyrical subject matter vocalist Anthony Kiedis addresses in By the Way is a divergence from previous Chili Peppers albums, with Kiedis taking a more candid and reflective approach to his lyricism. Anthony Kiedis (kiːdɪs "kee-dis" (born November 1 1962 is an American musician and the lead singer of the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

By the Way was applauded by critics as a departure from the band's previous styles, and is recognized for the melodic and subdued emotions given by the Chili Peppers. [3][4] Guitarist John Frusciante is credited with writing most of the album's melodies, bass lines, and guitar progressions, therefore changing the direction of the recording dramatically: "his warm, understated guitar work and his doo-wop style vocal harmonies are king this time around. John Anthony Frusciante (pronounced) (born March 5 1970 is an American Guitarist, singer songwriter and record producer "[5] By the Way contained virtually none of the signature punk-funk fusion the band had become known for playing. A music genre is a categorical and typological construct that identifies musical sounds as belonging to a particular category and type of music that can be distinguished from other [6] Frusciante considered that writing "By the Way [was] one of the happiest times in my life. "[7]

Contents

Background

Following a life threatening drug addiction that caused him to leave the Chili Peppers in 1992, Frusciante made a full recovery after a month of drug rehabilitation in the early months of 1998. Drug rehabilitation (often drug rehab or just rehab) is an umbrella term for the processes of medical and/or psychotherapeutic treatment for dependency [8][9] Shortly thereafter he was asked to rejoin the Red Hot Chili Peppers. [9] After several months of writing and recording, the Chili Peppers' next album, Californication was released. Californication is the seventh studio album by American Alternative rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, released on June 8 1999 on Warner Bros The album went on to sell over fifteen million copies worldwide, becoming the Chili Peppers' most successful recording to date. [10] Frusciante's return generated much response from critics, who recognized the album as a commercial revitalization from their previous record, One Hot Minute. One Hot Minute is the sixth studio album by American Alternative rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers, released on September 12 1995 on Warner Bros [11][12][13] A two year long, international tour followed, which included several festival appearances, including Woodstock 1999 and Rock in Rio. Woodstock 1999, held July 23 - 25, 1999 was the second large-scale Music festival (after Woodstock '94) that attempted to emulate the Rock in Rio, the largest rock festival in the world (15 million people in the first edition 700 thousand in the second about 1 million in the third and in the 3 international editions

The writing and formation of By the Way began immediately following the culmination of Californication's world tour, in the Spring of 2001. As with Californication, much of the creation took place in the band members' homes, and other locations of practice, such as a recording studio stage. [14] Kiedis recalled of the situation: "We started finding some magic and some music and some riffs and some rhythms and some jams and some grooves, and we added to it and subtracted from it and pushed it around and put melodies to it. "[14] Frusciante and Kiedis would collaborate together for days straight, discussing and sharing guitar progressions and lyrics. [15] For Kiedis, "writing By the Way. . . was a whole different experience from Californication. John was back to himself and brimming with confidence. "[14] Prior to recording By the Way, the Chili Peppers decided that they would again have Rick Rubin produce the album. Frederick Jay "Rick" Rubin (born March 10 1963 in Lido Beach New York) is an American Record producer and is currently [16] Rubin had, in the past, granted the Chili Peppers creative freedom on their recording material; this was something they thought essential for the album to be unique, and could only occur with his return. [17]

Writing and composition

The album's guitar and bass ensemble was primarily dictated by Frusciante, rather than a collaborative effort between him and bassist Flea. [18] Therefore the record took different direction than any previous Chili Peppers' album. Frusciante sought to create an emotional and poignant soundscape throughout the recording. [7] Drawing influences from musicians such as Vini Reilly of The Durutti Column and John McGeoch, Frusciante made use of textured and multilayered guitar progressions on By the Way, utilizing tools such as the mellotron and various effects pedals throughout. Vincent "Vini" Gerard Reilly (b August 1953) is an English musician and leader of the Post-punk group The Durutti Column See Durruti Column for the anarchist column during the Spanish Civil War. John Alexander McGeoch, (28 May 1955 &ndash 4 March 2004 was a Scottish guitarist who played with some of the biggest bands of the Post-punk era including Magazine The Mellotron is an electro-mechanical polyphonic keyboard originally developed and built in Birmingham, England in the early 1960s An effects pedal (or a " Stomp Box " is an electronic Effects unit housed in a small metal or plastic chassis used by musicians usually Electric [7]

Kiedis was lyrically influenced by love, his girlfriend, and the emotions expressed when one fell in love. [19] Songs such as "Body of Water", "Someone" (both B-sides), "By the Way", "I Could Die for You" and "Warm Tape" all digressed into the many sides of love. [20] Drugs also played an integral part in Kiedis' writings, as he had only been sober since December 2000. [21] Tracks like "This Is the Place", "Don't Forget Me", and "Dosed" expressed his intense dislike for narcotics and the harmful physical and emotional effects they caused him. He referenced late Chili Peppers guitarist Hillel Slovak in "This Is the Place", and describes how drug use forced him to miss the funeral: "On the day my best friend died/I could not get my copper clean". "Venice Queen" was composed lyrically as an ode to Kiedis' drug rehabilitation therapist, Gloria Scott, who died shortly after he purchased her a home on California's Venice Beach. California ( is a US state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. Venice is a district in western Los Angeles California. It is known for its Canals Beaches and Circus -like Ocean Front Walk, [14] It mourned her death as a painful loss: "We all want to tell her/Tell her that we love her/Venice gets a queen/Best I've ever seen. "

By the Way diverged from the band's previous styles, thus containing few funk-driven songs. "Can't Stop" was noted as the only song which revisited the Chili Peppers' once trademark style of short, rapped verses. [22][23] "Throw Away Your Television", while not having any rapidly sung lyrics, also contained a funk oriented bass line, though hinted at experimental rock due to the heavy use of distortion throughout the verse and chorus. Other "experimental" tracks include the trumpet based "On Mercury", a centered largely on ska. Ska ( pronounced /ska/ or in Jamaican Patois /skja/ is a Music genre that originated in Jamaica in the late 1950s and which was the precursor "Cabron", the only track to be played entirely on acoustic guitar, has visible Latin influences. "Tear" had a minor piano part, and "Warm Tape" was composed almost entirely on a keyboard. A musical keyboard is the set of adjacent depressible levers or keys on a Musical instrument, particularly the piano

Technically, By the Way saw the Chili Peppers employing several devices to distort and alter guitar and vocal sequences. "Don't Forget Me" utilizes a mellotron, wah pedal, and echoing techniques to convey an emotive atmosphere, while Frusciante uses a Big Muff for the solos on "Minor Thing". A wah-wah pedal (or just wah pedal) is a type of Guitar Effects pedal that alters the tone of the signal to create a distinctive effect intended to mimic The Big Muff is a Fuzzbox produced in New York City by the Electro-Harmonix company along with their Russian sister company Sovtek, primarily [7] Frusciante's backing vocals, although present in Californication, became dominant in By the Way, as almost every track contained his background presence.

Release

Feeling extremely confident in their album, the Chili Peppers issued the statement, "Greetings from the dimensions of invisible shapes and colors. The music on this record has expanded our space and made us bigger. Thank you for listening and being exactly where and who you are," in a press release. [24] Chad Smith commented that By the Way is "very honest, raw, emotional music. It's a very dynamic, rich and lush album. Probably the best collection of Chili Peppers songs we've ever put out. "[25] Warner Bros. Records promoted the album heavily in the months prior to the record's 2002 release, especially targeting the online market in order to steer customers away from illegal downloads. Warner Bros Records Inc is an American Record label that operates as a wholly owned Subsidiary of Warner Music Group. [24] The record label implemented a campaign they colloquially title "A Song A Day". This program, initiated on June 21, was aimed at leaking one song per day until the album was released. [25] Over 150 radio stations participated in broadcasting the band's new daily material, along with MTV, VH1, and digital music retailers like iTunes, as well as Cell phone companies. MTV ( Music Television) is an American Cable television network based in New York City. VH1 (known as VH-1 Video Hits One from 1985 to 1994 and VH1 Music First until 2003) is an American Cable television iTunes is a proprietary digital media player application introduced by Apple Inc [25] AOL featured the Chili Peppers as their "Artist Of The Month" in June, streaming interviews and live performances of the band free of charge; they also sold an MP3 of "By the Way", the record's first single, for ninety-nine cents and raffled off tickets that gave fans a chance to see the band in Japan in November.

Although the album sold fewer copies than Californication, By the Way managed to peak at #2 on the Billboard Top 200,[29][30] one spot higher than Californication.

The original album tracks were not remastered, although the bonus tracks were.

Critical reception

The album received a mostly positive reaction from critics, who praised By the Way for its melodic, multilayer and textured styles. All Music Guide's Zac Johnson said that the album was "sophisticated. allmusic (previously All Music Guide) is a Metadata database about music owned by All Media Guide. . . the Peppers have not sacrificed any of their trademark energy or passions for life, universal love, and (of course) lust". [3] Rolling Stone called the album "insanely melodic" and a "near-perfect balance of gutter grime and high-art aspiration", comparing it to other works, such as The Beach Boys' album Pet Sounds. Rolling Stone is a United States -based Magazine devoted to Music, Politics, and Popular culture that is published The Beach Boys is an American rock band Formed in 1961 the group gained popularity for its close vocal harmonies and lyrics reflecting a California Youth culture Pet Sounds is a 1966 album recorded by American pop group The Beach Boys. [4] Mojo applauded the recording, and considered it to be "the strongest Chili's album since 1991's Blood Sugar Sex Magik". Mojo (ˈmoʊdʒoʊ is a term commonly encountered in the African-American folk belief called hoodoo. [34][35] Giving the album 5 stars out of 5, Q called By the Way "A fantastic record; full of wonder. "[36] Kimberly Mack of Pop Matters commented on how the album ". PopMatters is an international Webzine of cultural criticism Its scope is broadly cast on all things pop culture . . showcases a more sophisticated, lush sound that only today's Peppers could have conceived", and that "Anthony Kiedis' lyrics are more personal than ever. "[5] Frusciante was, in her eyes, "a musical talent to be reckoned with and is the undeniable X factor in the Red Hot Chili Peppers' sound. "[5]

However, the praise was balanced by those such as indie music critic Piero Scaruffi, who dismissed the album as being "too mainstream". [37] Blender considered By the Way to be an indistinguishable sequel to Californication, calling it "Californication 2". Blender is an American music Magazine that bills itself as "the ultimate guide to music and more" It further condemned the Chili Peppers for not varying their style and remaining extremely similar in sound. [34][38] Newspapers such as The Village Voice criticized the band for trying too hard to change. This article is about a New York newspaper For the Ottawa Hills Ohio magazine see The Village Voice of Ottawa Hills. [39] Entertainment Weekly praised By the Way for being well refined and a superb collaboration, but criticized the Chili Peppers for playing it safe and keeping the album's energy mild; for being "more fascinating for what it symbolizes than what it is. "[40]

All Music Guide considered the song "By the Way" to combine "fiery Hollywood funk, gentle harmonies, a little bit of singing about girls, [and] a little bit of hanging out in the streets in the summertime. "[3] Rolling Stone commented on "how close this band has come to conjuring pure California sunshine" in "The Zephyr Song". [4] "Midnight" was highly regarded by several sources. It was chosen as one of By the Way's "All Music Guide Track Picks". [3] Kimberly Mack of Pop Matters considered it to have "hippie-friendly lyrics" and to "evoke images of tie-dyed T-shirts and AM radio. "[5] Mack also regarded "Venice Queen" as "a masterpiece. . . Frusciante's backing vocals are hauntingly beautiful. "[5]
