its great, better than anything ive heard of them in like 15 years

[Malcolm]

Im not a huge Peppers fan but i certainly thought it was pretty good

[DeN]

heavy rotation here since 3 days, the new guitarist is great, very Harrissonish on this one, can't wait to listen to the whole stuff.

[LunsJail]

The new album is incredible. A different feel without Frusciante but 2 listens and I was hooked. 

[D]

Ive refused to let myself listen to the stream or to Torrent it. gonna wait till Monday and buy it and listen to it the way i always do great albums i look forward to.

The album came in mail this morning.. put it on my iPhone and went running.. I was blown away.

It's like with every RHCP album before. You hear the first single which you think is a great basic track. Then you hear the album and you realise once again, just how deep this band can be! The sound, the riffs, the bass lines, the vocals, Chad on drums.. it's definitely RHCP, but yet again, it's something NEW! Something they haven't done before, but at the same time it's very Red Hot Chili Peppers. You know what I'm saying? They can reinvent themselves over and over again without losing themselves.

Half way through the album I realised that I have no idea how the next song is going to sound.. that's pretty rare these days. There are songs when you think like "this could have been on By The Way" or "this has the same feeling as Stadium Arcadium".. but then again, the album is completely different from those albums. It's like magic of some kind.

My favourites this far:
- Police Station, very beautiful
- Even You Brutus, one of the coolest RHCP songs ever
- Brendan's Death Song, gotta love the chorus and Chad's drumming!

Go get the album as soon as possible!

It's incredible! You won't be disappointed. It seems these days you keep waiting to hear a good new song out there and at times it's a struggle. Then RHCP hits you with 14 of 'em on one album.

u guys are killin me... I am dying to hear this

No disrespect to the band whose board we post on.. but IMO RHCP are the greatest band in the world by far since Californication album.   That, By The Way and SA changed my life and its rare an album does that but its like every Chili Pepper album does that.


Im gonna buy it on Itunes at midnight Sunday, then go to the store and buy the physical copy when i get off work.

This is why i hate so called music critics

U can read this review and tell this dumbass hasn't listened to RHCP since Suck My Kiss and Give it Away

[14 Yrs Of Silence]

I also am waiting to listen to the album when I can buy the cd. Really looking forward to it.  I will miss JF's harmonies; don't know how they are going to replace that live.

Bought it at midnight.

Im a weird music listener. I rarely like anything first couple of listens..

So first couple i was underwhelmed but after listening 5 times through I now am in love with this album!

Fave song currently is Meet me at the corner or Brendan's Death Song

[mrlee]

Jesus christ this album was a snorefest.

The single was very good, as was the opening track. But minus that its typical bland as fuck commercial soft rock peppers, except this time most of it aint even funky

[Rockin' Rose]

Just listened the new album trough, pretty solid, needs a listening or few more to really hear it.

Meet Me At The Corner, sounds quite Bumblefootish

I'm excited for this album but have to say I was a little underwhelmed with this single.

yeah new song is kind of...meh.   Hopefully the record is a lot better.  I love the Chili Peppers.

[COMAMOTIVE]

To each their own
I like this tune
I thought the last album was not very interesting, though

yeah didn't like the last one either, maybe it's the lack of John Fruciante?  Come to think of it, the only Chili Peppers albums I don't care for since BSSM came out are "One Hot Minute" and the last one.  Both of those albums have different guitar players.
