1 -1/2 for Three good songs
When I band like the Red Hot Chili Peppers puts out a sixteen track album, and only three songs ("Around the World", "Zepher", and "Throw away your Television") are the only songs worth a s**t on this album, then that makes for a poor album. The Red Hots have seemed to change musical direction here, and instead of giving us the usual in your face funk rock, they give us thirteen songs of drab and filler that takes away from what the band really is...FUNK! I have never heard such a disspointing album from these guys, not even Red Hot Minute, and that has an excuse since Dave Narvarro was filling in and his style just didnt really fit. The only reason that I didnt say it was a total disaster was for three good songs, (hence the half star) yet those songs still arent very strong, but passable. This is the one RHCP album that I would skip over, as its not even worth to have in your collection. Do yourself a favor and get the other songs somewhere else (hint-hint) because there is no reason to own this disaster-piece even if it is to fill your RHCP collection.
Average music from a band that should know better.
And yes I am bitter. I'm bitter becasue as a kid I remember that the Chili Peppers were that out of control messed up brand of punk-soul fusion that made everything seem better through it's magical filter. Uplift Mofo, Freaky Style and the S/T where amazing displayes of energy and soul. Part of me wishes that "Under The Bridge" was never written. It seems like ever since they have slipped further and further downhill. There are enough crappy pop-punk-jazzhop albums out there without the Chili Peppers recording something like "By the Way", Unlike the above mentioned albums that I still listen to 10 years later, this newest instalment is instantly forgettable. I can't help but to think that when Hillel died a piece of the Chili Peppers died, and they've been lost ever since.
THIS ALBUM IS F'IN AWESOME!
every song is great. personally, this is my favorite chili peppers album. give me this and b/s/s/m and i'm set.
