Records. It sold more than 286, 000 copies in it's first week, and peaked at number two on the Billboard 200. Singles 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. Review: Great Album!! - Excellent record arrived on time Review: best RHCP album - This is my favorite Chili Peppers album. It's presumably their first sober album and in my opinion, peak Frusciante and Kiedis. If you watch live concert videos from this era, everyone in the band is on point. Even Anthony, who usually doesn't sound as good live as he does on the album (no disrespect, I love his live voice regardless), sounds incredible and sometimes better live during this time period. It has some great upbeat tracks like Can't Stop, Cabron, and the Zephyr Song, but it also has a melancholy vibe on the majority of the other tracks. The lyrics are deep and it's just a very full sounding, well rounded album. There's a song for every mood. Some people complain that it has too many songs on it, but it honestly left me wanting more. It has classic RHCP elements like rap, funk and their essential California rock sound with a hint of Spanish thrown in. Also, the b-sides are incredible, Out of Range is my personal favorite. I know this album is 14 years old, I'm only writing this because with the release of their newest album, the Getaway, there's a lot of new RHCP fans who are young and don't have much knowledge of their discography. By the Way is a must-have. If you have a record player, absolutely buy the vinyl!!! It sounds incredible on vinyl. The copy I received was in perfect condition and there were no skips or scratches or warping on the album. Sometimes its hit or miss buying albums on desertcart, but because this is an import from another country, the quality is higher. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000068G5F | | Best Sellers Rank | #1,088 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #8 in Funk Rock (CDs & Vinyl) #138 in Alternative Rock (CDs & Vinyl) #446 in Pop (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (3,791) | | Date First Available | December 17, 2006 | | Department | All Ages/Unisex | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 29085303 | | Label | Warner Records | | Manufacturer | Warner Records | | Number of discs | 2 | | Original Release Date | 2002 | | Product Dimensions | 12.32 x 12.36 x 0.31 inches; 8.32 ounces | ## Images ![By the Way - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rswy8YRVL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Album!! *by I***N on November 17, 2025* Excellent record arrived on time ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ best RHCP album *by A***R on September 29, 2016* This is my favorite Chili Peppers album.
