Album is pretty solid. The low point, as always, are Anthony's lyrics. Not terrible, but we're talking about Mr. Ning Nang Nong Nong Ning Nang here. You know what you're singing up for when you throw on a Chilis (w/ John) record.

yeah, i could agree. Its the same feeling i had with Californication. Thats why i think i like this one so much.

This is a rare Chilis album that gets better with each listen. Usually you got what you got with them for better or worse. Some songs just seem to be more enjoyable once I know what to expect out of them.

I agree, but that also happened to me with Californication. While that album has more ¨hits¨, this one has a very cohesive sound and feel, and its a joy to listen to.

I've never been into the Chilli's but this album is just a good listen.
By God I'm deep.

im loving Aquatic Mouth Dance, not only the music but Kiedis´s performance.
Best Anthony album since Californication.

This would be a really great 10 song album in my personal opinion. However this is subject to change since I keep finding songs I thought I didn't like.
Here Ever After
Aquatic Mouth Dance
It’s Only Natural
Poster Child
The Great Apes
Watchu Thinkin’
She’s a Lover
White Braids & Pillow Chair
One Way Traffic
The Heavy Wing
Nothing against the rest of the songs. There would be some cool b-sides.

Saw these guys last night at Jazzfest. Festival crowd so people didn't really know what was going on during songs like "Aquatic Mouth Dance" but I thought the new songs sounded really good. Got a handful of them: Aquatic, Here Ever After, Black Summer, These are the Ways, Whatchu Thinkin. If the stadium tour was hitting anywhere around here, I'd go cause I'd love to see a longer set.
This band is just different when Frusciante is there. The energy is higher, and it all feels more cohesive. They're locked in and loving it right now.
My current fave is Let em Cry. Chad is thrilling me with his laid back mastery.
