 excellent album Sep 09, 2009
The Red Hot Chili Peppers are again creating compelling music with a good beat, sharp catchy lyrics and involving structures. While nothing comes close to their 1994 Blood Sugar Sex Magic record (one of the best rock albums of all time IMHO), this is another winner from the band. Along with "by the way", their previous release, RHCP have shown they are back in top form. a Must have
Back to the Funk again, thank God! Aug 27, 2009
After the woeful disappointment that was "By The Way" an album so terrible that Flea almost left the band because of it, RHCP returned triumphantly with enough truly rocking tunes to make any open-minded (as in not resigned to "Blood Sugar" is the best-ever-period-no-matter-what-before-i-even-listen-to-this-album) Peppers' fan jump for joy. I would list all the great tracks here, but it's easier to list the not great ones in this 28-track blistering CLASSIC.
"Dani California" sucks, "Snow" is ultra-repetitive, "Animal Bar" is slow and lame. "Tell me Baby" is just ok, funky yes, but plug-and-chug repetitive. But really, that's about it, and you have to expect a couple of less-than-stellar tracks following an album as awful as "By the Way." The other 24 tracks pretty much rock, and some of them are among the Chili Peppers' greatest. As far as this RHCP fan is concerned this is a RHCP CLASSIC. It's definelty up there with "Freaky Styley," "Mother's Milk," "Blood Sugar Sex Magic," and my personal fav "Californication." In fact, after "By the Way" was not the successor to "Californication" I'd hoped it would be, "Stadium Arcadium" is. If you're an RHCP fan who just can't let go of "they haven't done anything as-good-as BSSM since 1991" my response would be that the Chili Peppers have grown up, and you should too.

The ultimate album Jun 06, 2009
This is the ultimate album. Almost every song is great. Even my little niece loves this album and won't go in the car without it. Play this and then "Shine on Me" by Freesound and you'll be in heaven!

 Ewwww May 01, 2009
This was one of the most boring albums I've ever listened to, if not THE most boring. All the songs were so dry, weak, tame and bland that I felt like jumping off a cliff about half way through. It was extremely mediocre with almost nothing redeeming about it, except for the song Dani California, which was actually pretty good. Sorry if I offended anyone, but really, if I had to listen to it again I would probably die of boredom.

AWESOME!!! In 1 word. Apr 13, 2009
This album rules! You must listen at least 4 times to appreciate this album as someone previously mentioned. I alternated between these 2 CD's for over 2 years constantly. Amazing! Awesome! Highly recomended.
