I was just gonna ask about the New Album, so you would recommend it ? How is the album sonically?
It was kinda of a letdown at first, but right now im loving it. Its really mid tempo, and still there are pretty cool things about it.
Dark Necessities is great.

I picked it up over the weekend, not bad at all. They let Josh have a little more freedom aka Anthony did...Def better than their last album
My 2nd favorite band. The Stadium Arcadium Tour was incendiary. Lots of good bootlegs out there. Their b-side repertoire is about as extensive as Pearl Jam's as well. The demos for the Californication album are great, too. Love me some RHCP and can't wait for Saturday!

I love it. Warped might be my favorite from there.
It's a fantastic album. I'll never understand the Stadium Arcadium love, though. Such a bland followup to By the Way.
The live performances of that were better than the album. I quite enjoy the b-sides, too. There was some really great songs spread out through it, though. Snow, Wet Sand, Desecration Smile, Especially In Michigan. I initially had a hard time getting into the record when it came out, though. I agree that By The Way and Californication are much better albums.
One Hot Minute was an excellent record. The heaviest and darkest in their catalog, but great, nonetheless.
its really trippy and heavy, and at the same time there are elements of funk in there, but its not Parliament Funkadelic but more a mix between Janes Addiction and Zeppelin.

re: Stadium Arcadium, I haven't listened to it in a long time but I remember liking at least half of it. I think I liked Mars better than Jupiter and particularly liking "Turn It Again", especially towards the end starting at the 3:44 mark till the end.
