Music Red Hot Chili Peppers - Unlimited Love (New album out now!)

[Reditus]

Going to see them in Dublin in June. Saw them a few years ago and they actually were not as great live as I had hoped. This one is outdoor so hoping it will be better

Although for me the way things have fallen with new shows and shows I got tickets for 2 years ago rescheduled for now I have 3 concerts in 3 nights. Greenday (and Weezer) on the Monday, Guns n Roses - Tuesday and finally RHCP on the Wednesday. And Kings of Leon are the Friday before these…I’m getting too old for this shit

 

[Solius]

All this love for californication, for me blood sugar sex magic is by far their best album. It’s probably my favourite album ever.

Magik. Spell it right if it’s your favourite

 

[Carolina Red]

Is Frusciante back? if not I dont really want to hear it.

Yes

 

[Carolina Red]

Greenday (and Weezer) on the Monday, Guns n Roses - Tuesday and finally ROCP on the Wednesday. And Kings of Leon are the Friday before these

That’s a helluva schedule you got going!

 

[UnofficialDevil]

Yes

Thanks yeah I looked it up, fantastic news, I'm listening to it now, love it. The band is complete with Frusciante, didn't like that other guitarist.

Agreed!

Black summer is a great track. "China is on the dark side of the moon'. That lyric just resonates with me so much for some unknown reason. I'll give it a listen tonight in a few hours

Bloody auto correct, although I have been deliberately spelling chili with one L for the past twenty years as a little homage to them.

 

[Reditus]

That’s a helluva schedule you got going!

It’s just the way they all fell with covid postponements etc…

I’m looking forward to though

ROCP on the Wednesday.

Red 'Ot Chili Peppers, innit mate.

Red 'Ot Chili Peppers, innit mate.

Shiiit, fixed

 

[Bosws87]

I like the new album it’s very chilled and just a relaxing listen, for me there’s no standout tracks like the old stuff more of just a whole 17 songs that flow into each other.

 

[Champ]

Having a hard time finding one positive review of this album.

It is, quite frankly, awful. Has been banished to the 'never listen to again' pile

 

[Brophs]

War Crimes and this lot’s new album being directly next to each other on the forum list seems apt.

 

[Minkaro]

Listened to it earlier. I liked three songs. Pretty weak effort.

It's just bloated. There's some great tracks in the mix...but too many skippable moment. Love John's vocals on Heavy Wing and the bass line in it's only natural is amazing.

John for whatever reason is reserved in the extreme on this record - hopefully the next one he's more prominent!

 

[Massive Spanner]

After a few listens, it's not great. A collection of ok but entirely forgettable tracks. No real urge to listen to it again.

 

[Acole9]

I've listened to it once through so far. It's easily better than the last two albums but that's a pretty low bar.

It is a bit long. Probably could've cut a few tracks quite easily.

There’s a few too many skippable tracks but the more I listen there’s some real brilliant stuff on it. Need to make my own cut version of it

 

[Gandalf]

Finally gave it a listen and it is not for me. I have never been a huge fan of Frusciante and from By The Way onwards he has really steered them into quite bland territory. I don't think anyone could really replace Hillel Slovak but Mothers Milk and BSSM at least kept pretty closely to the earlier funkier sound.

 

[Ali Dia]

I really love Hendrix so by default I like Frusciante and his playing but it’s all just a bad rehash/money grab at this stage. The “art” is long gone
