After becoming successful at a few local clubs, RHCP was signed by EMI. The big question for whether this album would be successful or not is if they could get the enormous vibe of energy their live music gave off onto a record. Today this record has sold over 300,000 copies, but it wasn't nearly that successful when it came out. Hillel and Irons were both tied up in another band named "What is this?", so Cliff Martiniz played the drums, and Jack Sherman took Hillel's place at guitar. The album's most recognizable song, named "True Men Don't Kill Coyotes", shows off a great bass-line by Flea which makes it one of the best of the early Chili Peppers music.
