I understand the sentiment. Have you listened to Power of Equality? Cool music and lyrics from before there was “wokeness”.Ms Harmless wrote:the main thing I can't get behind with this band is the lack of emotional weight to their songs; if all your lyrics are nonsense, what's the point of writing one after another for decades?

I'm sure they have exceptions, but this record like most of them is covered with lyrical silliness; they're like if Pearl Jam constantly wrote "Supersonic", which is frustrating because of the calibre of musicianship involvedVinylGuy wrote:wrong.Ms Harmless wrote:the main thing I can't get behind with this band is the lack of emotional weight to their songs; if all your lyrics are nonsense, what's the point of writing one after another for decades?

They have many emotional lyrics. To name a few from different eras:
Taste The Pain
Knock Me Down
I Could Have Lied
Transcending
My Friends
Brendan´s Death Song
Porcelain

John's melodic parts in Not the One owing heavy (and likely intentional) debt to Adrian Belew's playing on King Crimson's Matte Kudasai:

I liked it to begin with, but Watchu Thinkin' keeps getting better and better. That might be my current favorite. Although Here Ever After keeps holding strong.

Aside from the singles - I've not listened to RHCP since possibly By The Way, which I loved. Wasn't expecting much, but this was an enjoyable listen

They should've used this limited cover variant (the "LA Version") as the main artwork:
