Dark Necessities is a nice surprise, damn good song.

Ah, I fully believe that if we trim Stadium Arcardium to 10 of its best songs, it ends up being a quite good album.

I also surprisingly really like the song. Glad to see there's still some good stuff in them without Frusciante.

I have a hard time believing people listen to new RHCP albums all the way through.

After reading the lyrics, I'm tempted to.

Up to my ass in alligators
Let's get it in with the alligator haters

You've got to choose it to lose it
So let me plug it in
Robots are my next of kin

Great lyrics.

Maybe I should listen to this too.

If RHCP lyrics were good, I would be worried.

I seriously don't give a duck about RHCP lyrics being profound or even making sense.

Man, im loving the first three tracks.

I'd be truly sad if they did, since having a dumbdumb frontman who appears to be trolling his own band is the only legitimately fun thing about them.

Man, i love the Navarro era...he really shines in One Hot Minute, and expanded their sound into a psychadelic marvelous.
Their MSG show from 96 is great.

Yesterdai I listened to Wet Sand, that song is amazing. The bass and guitar work is pure craftmanship.

Dark Necessities is a pretty enjoyable song. Not sure if I have the stomach for listening to a whole RHCP album anymore (except for the occasional spin of Californication)

It's the best song on the album so...you probably don't need to go any further.
