There’s plenty I enjoy from the past two albums. Particularly all the I’m With You extra songs they put out as a series of singles.

Listened to half of Josh interview with Maron. Its a very cool one, following his path on the LA scene. His departure from the band is another classic RHCP story, with John reappearing after 10 years to say he wants to join the band again and the band actually saying yes.

Looking forward to finish it.

yeah, i actually do. Not all of it but a few songs here and there that i really like. The b sides stuff...i haven listened to all of them but the ones i listened were not my thing.

As for the albums, they are flawed, something bland but im not blaming Josh for that.

I like some of his work. His is more of a pattern guy, and i like that. Ill make a list of best 10 from his era later....

I think my main problem with the band is not Josh related...i also didnt liked By The Way and Stadium Arcadium....liked a few songs, but overall it felt bland.

By The Way sounded bland to you?!
Yeah. Besides a few songs, i never liked it. Too poppy...I loathe the guitar tones, Anthony´s vocals...pretty much everything.

I'm not really a fan of By the Way either. I like a few of the songs but I've never been able to make it through the whole record.

I have a slight preference towards the band's harder-edged, funkier material, I guess. I think I'd still rank BloodSugarSexMagik above Californication overall but not by much, they're definitely the band's two best records. My favourite songs from the latter are I Like Dirt and Purple Stain - there's not as much stuff in that vein on the subsequent records.

Do you like the Ataxia records, trag? They're really great, seems like they'd up your alley.

I agree that Klinghoffer's tenure in RHCP was very underwhelming, I don't think he was a great fit for the band. It would seem they agreed, given the eagerness with which they cut him loose the moment Frusciante expressed an interest in returning.

I would put that as a top tier RHCP album. That's probably the one I go back to the most often

It's been a while since I listened to it but I like it too.

Definitely prefer Navarro's tenure over that of Klinghoffer.
