Which band released the 1991 album 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik'?

The story behind the answer

Red Hot Chili Peppers released the 1991 album Blood Sugar Sex Magik.

The album was the band's fifth studio release and was produced by Rick Rubin. Recording took place at a mansion in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, where the group lived and worked during the sessions.

Blood Sugar Sex Magik broadened the band's audience through songs including “Under the Bridge,” “Give It Away,” and “Suck My Kiss.” Its sound combined funk-influenced bass lines, rock guitar, punk energy, and melodic songwriting.

The album is sometimes grouped simply with alternative rock, but its musical identity draws from several traditions. The band had already released four albums before it, so it was not their debut or breakthrough in the strict chronological sense, although it became their major commercial breakthrough.
