Chillis do have there really bad moments. By The Way is for me, first album I ever bought. Californication has some better songs on it but its not as consistent

After that the group never reached that level of quality: One Hot Minute with guitar player Dave Navarro didn't work really, although there are several good songs there; Californication is better but it lacks the energy of earlier works and it's very headed for mainstream and commercial purposes. By The Way is like a worse version of Californication. Too much commercial mid-tempo songs.
Nowadays RHCP is not a bad band, but in the days of Mother's Milk and BSSM they were one of the best bands in the world.

I find By The Way to be a very unique sounding album compared to anything else that I've heard, although there are a number of mid-tempo songs on there, there is also a number of good songs. Plus this album was my introduction into the music world.

None of their albums are really goo all the way through, though they're getting a bit better at that.

I agree. But it lacks the necessary funk that Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Mothers Milk has. (with the exception of Aeroplane of course)

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
