One Hot Minute
One Hot Minute did not sell many copies, even though it reached number four on the Billboard 200 chart. Blood Sugar Sex Magik sold twice as many copies as One Hot Minute. In 1998, Navarro was asked to leave the band. Red Hot Chili Peppers told the media it was because they and Navarro liked to make different kinds of music. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic said that "One Hot Minute is as musically ambitious as Blood Sugar Sex Magik, but is even more unfocused, which means it provides the fewest thrills of any of the group's albums."
