Will check it out later.
I though they had cancelled all future concerts?
Dude you should totally go! I got tickets for June 10th in Nijmegen!
Where did you read that? They are doing the "Unlimited Love' tour starting this spring/summer.
Are you thinking of The Foo Fighters?
Doh
Doh
That’s my intention alright. I put my name in the hat back in October/November when I heard about it. July 31st for me.
Me too. That's the last album of theirs I had and I bought that one. I saw them live for that tour but it wasn't great. I think they were back on the smack at the time. If it's more of the same chili peppers lite they've been churning out I'll give it a miss.
Your man is dead right. It's bloody awful but they've been a shadow of their former selves for a very long time now.
Really? Then maybe they just aren't for you because Californication, BTW and Stadium Arcadium are some of their best albums. Although I also really love BSSM and Mothers Milk. You probably like their 'rock' side more then their 'funky' side based on your album preference :-)
What the hell is that? Surely he's not getting paid to write that sh!te?The review is terrible though. He might not like it but he doesn't back it up at all. Saying the lyrics are aren't 'profound' says it all, he doesn't have a clue who the RHCP are because Anthony's lyrics have never made any sense, and that's kind of their style.
Well, he actually said they were mediocre and made Bono's poem look profound which isn't the same thing at all. He said it was formulaic and bland which it is. Why would he need to back that up?
I liked their druggy period.Really? Then maybe they just aren't for you because Californication, BTW and Stadium Arcadium are some of their best albums.

he comes across as a smug prick who hates them and just wanted to rant about them, which begs the question - why is someone like that reviewing their album?
That's the era that introduced me to them. To me, that is the RHCP sound, as I was too young to get into the earlier stuff before I heard their funky side.
Well I don't know about you but I generally don't read music reviews anymore as they're generally written by smug pricks who make up their own nonsensical language to describe the indescribable.
To be fair... Anthony Kiedis and Flea are coming up on 60 this year.
Interesting that. Most people would say that's their worst album and I'd probably agree with that.
Yeah exactly and that's why it's so well received by most fans. Sure, there are no big hits like Scar Tissue or Under The Bridge on the new album but the whole album feels more like their sound than The Getaway or IWY did.
To each their own, but I don't see how someone can like Californication and not like BTW or Stadium Arcadium.
Agreed completely. No song on there popped out to me as "oh this is gonna be a hit!" but the overall feel of the album is a definite throwback.
I don't like any of them, but as you said each to their own
Ahhh that makes more sense then
. I’d originally read it as you saying everything since Californication, not including it.It's by far their best album nothing comes close. This new one is like a flat pint it's not good but well it's still beer so you finish it even though it isn't a pint it's a gallon, this album is too long and has far too many songs.
