Music can't be quantified like that. I just feel that I prefer Mother's Milk.

Magic Johnson is a mostly average song, but it has one of my favourite riffs ever in the second half. Stone Cold Bush is my equally favourite RHCP song. Higher Ground and Fire are both great covers. Pretty Little Ditty is beautiful.

It has a great range of songs. Despite being in their crazy funk phase, apart from the above songs, they had great slower songs like Taste the Pain and Sexy Mexican Maid.

The basswork is better than Cali's, the guitarwork isn't as good and I love the presence of Flea's trumpet.


In this comparison, I'm ignoring bonus discs, as those tend to differ from country to country.
