By the Way
''By the Way'' is the eighth studio album by American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. The album was released on July 9, 2002 on Warner Bros. Records. It sold over 286,000 copies in the first week, and peaked at number two on the ''Billboard'' 200. (Their next album would peak at number one) The singles from the album included "By the Way", "The Zephyr Song", "Can't Stop", "Dosed" and "Universally Speaking". 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 lyrics.
''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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''By the Way'' Review - Tom Moon )〕 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." ''By the Way'' contained very little of the signature punk-funk fusion the band had become known for playing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=By the Way Album Review - Daniel Pike )〕 Frusciante has stated that writing "''By the Way'' () one of the happiest times in my life." The album went on to sell over 16 million copies worldwide.
==Background==
Following a life-threatening drug addiction that developed after leaving the Chili Peppers in 1992, Frusciante made a full recovery after a month of drug rehabilitation in the early months of 1998.〔Kiedis, Sloman, 2004. pp. 389–400〕 Shortly thereafter he was asked to rejoin the Red Hot Chili Peppers.〔 After several months of writing and recording, the Chili Peppers' next album, ''Californication'' was released. The album went on to sell over 15 million copies worldwide, becoming the Chili Peppers' most successful recording to date. Frusciante's return generated much response from critics, who recognized the album as a commercial revitalization from their previous record, ''One Hot Minute''. A two-year-long, international tour followed, which included several festival appearances, including Woodstock 1999 and Rock in Rio.
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.〔Kiedis, Sloman, 2004. p. 456〕 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."〔 Frusciante and Kiedis would collaborate for days straight, discussing guitar progressions and sharing lyrics.〔Kiedis, Sloman, 2004. p. 458〕 For Kiedis, "writing ''By the Way''...was a whole different experience from ''Californication''. John was back to himself and brimming with confidence."〔 Prior to recording ''By the Way'', the Chili Peppers decided that they would again have Rick Rubin produce the album.〔Kiedis, Sloman, 2004. p. 420〕 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.〔Kiedis, Sloman, 2004. pp. 230–232, 320–321, 344, 424〕
