bear801 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Pretty standard RHCP from the last ten years. It’s alright. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I'm a RHCP fan...been into them since I first listened to Uplift Mofo Party Plan all those many moons ago. I have enjoyed their progression from straight-up punk funk sound to funky-ass good times music to the more intricate musicianship that was brought in when Frusciante joined and expanded both Flea's and Chad Smith's skills. Kiedis has been consistent to say the least...and nothing wrong with that. They did lose me a bit after By The Way...that record felt inconsistent...but I am glad that Frusciante is back in the fold and elevating the band To me...Mother's Milk and Blood Sugar Sex Magik...and to an extent Californication...will always be their peak...and I am OK with that. Haters be damned. And One Hot Minute had its charm...I'm a huge Jane's Addiction fan...esp. the classic lineup...so having Navarro, who is a talented guitarist and musician in his own right, be a part of the RHCP for that record, it was an interesting and unusual sound and feel for the band. zackdumbass, One Hundred Fifty-Two, achillesstand7 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Nice to hear, Juan. To me, By The Way's mellowness and experimentation in the second half of the album really sets it apart from the other albums and is probably my favourite. Stadium Arcadium, I always see people talk about it as if it was chock-full of filler but again, its mellowness and less-is-more guitar work really makes it great for me. I felt Californication had great singles, some of my favourite songs ever, but as a cohesive whole the album lacks a bit of personality.

Don't get me wrong...I enjoy By The Way a whole deal...while I appreciate and still enjoy their later "mellowness & experimentation" as you put it...which is spot-on...I guess I'm still stuck in the 80's/90's mindset of the Peppers being a funk party band per se. And I do love all that Frusciante has brought to the band. For as young as he was when he initially joined, he pushed the other members to elevate their skills. All that being said...I do like the new single "Black Summer"...it's got an ease and mellowness right now that feels nice and comfy. And I can dig that.

MichaelMush Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 I think if they cut 3-4 tracks off a few of their albums they would be a lot more enjoyable. I'm all for a 50 minute plus album but RHCP have so many forgettable filler tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuck Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 Here's my hot take... I think I'm With You is a great album & probably in my top 5 of theirs. ghjghj 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm With You is pretty great, I don't think that's a crazy opinion. For as popular a band as RHCP is they are consistently good enough. I agree there is definitely some filler and generally poor tracks on some of their albums but overall they scratch that itch. Same can't be said for some of the remaining popular "arena rock" bands still around. I'm really hopeful for the return of Frusciante so will take a leap of faith preorder on this. Went for the target red. Did anyone buy tickets for the upcoming tour? I really wanted to check them out again since I really enjoyed the last one but tickets are so god damn expensive I found it hard to justify.

It is the most expensive one I have ever bought. This band has been high on my bucket list for years so I choked it down. And the stokes is a plus. I’m hoping the huge cost results in an extravagant stage setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faaip de oiad Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 So finally saw the video on YouTube. They really haven't changed much(which is good I guess). But my wife really wants it. So I went ahead and pre-ordered her the indie variant. Trying not to spend too much on vinyl but can't stop the sickness... maybe Biden can help me with a safe vinyl kit 👀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
