Red Hot Chili Peppers | By the Way | Vinyl

By the Way is the Red Hot Chili Peppers' 2002 eighth album, a more melodic, pop-oriented follow-up to Californication that further reduced the funk-punk energy of the band's earlier work in favor of layered vocal harmonies and atmospheric production. John Frusciante's increasingly sophisticated guitar work and vocal arrangements gave the record a lush, textured sound distinct from anything the band had released before. The title track and “Can't Stop” became defining singles of the album, helping it become one of the band's best-selling releases.
