megaguns1982 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 It’s 4:30pm here in Aus, got my cold beers and some decent weed. Gonna throw this bad boy on repeat and enjoy 😊. RHCP! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shacklers Absolution Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 So far heavy wing is the best song they made in a long while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Not very impressed on a first listen, but I could definitely see that changing (often not impressed by albums on a first listen, especially a long one like this). I want it to be more in my face and more melody driven than jammy. I don't think they've topped I'm With You. The Heavy Wing is definitely my favorite at this point.

When it comes to I’m With You; I think the first 8 songs and Police Station and Meet Me at the Corner are all solid, but then Happiness Loves Company, Goodbye Hooray and Brutus are all ear-bleeding terrible, and Dance Dance Dance is cringe. This new record doesn’t really have any “hits,” but it doesn’t have any songs that make my ears bleed either.

But it just feels right with John back,they are kicking ass again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love even the songs you dislike, except for Brutus, which is perhaps the albums one weak track. Dance Dance Dance isn't great, but kinda catchy. The rest of the album is killer, especially Factory of Faith, Monarchy of Roses and Raindance Maggie. Too early to form a proper opinion on Unlimited Love, only on a second listen and I rarely like RHCP music on a first listen.

EvanG Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) I love I'm With You. It's not their best record, but there are some great songs on there and what I like is that they were trying something different. More piano based and coming at it from a different angle. I don't know if that was Josh's doing or Flea's who had learned to play piano and went to music school during their hiatus before making that record. Same for The Getaway. I like the new record just fine, some great songs on there, but it's nothing new. It's very much Stadium Arcadium, some great songs, good songs and some filler, just overall less interesting guitar stuff from John on there compared to Stadium Arcadium.

rocknroll41 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 They also did a ten-song set at the Fonda theater last night that was pretty good. You can find the whole thing on YouTube in 4k if you look hard enough. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZoSoRose Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Album is good! Not great imo but good. It doesn’t have any legendary songs but nothing is really bad on it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 What a weak album, IMO. The weakest album I’ve seen them release since I’ve gotten into this band. The Getaway was much, much better. I’m With You was more solid. Can’t hold a candle to Stadium Arcadium. This is so uninspired. Shame, I had high expectations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakey Styley Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 The band goes crazy at the end of These Are The Ways, but I honestly hate Anthony on it - very very very bad hook IMO Definitely liking the album more a bit more now on my second listen. Still have the same feeling that I just wanted it to be more in my face. Where is a song with the power of Charlie? A Can't Stop? Wet Sand, Turn it Again? Frusciante's return didn't bring back what I expected it to. Even when the album is upbeat, it's somehow still laid back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I’ll admit that the songs that are meant to be more energetic (One Way Traffic mainly) don’t sound as organic as the rest of the record imo. EDIT: make no mistake. I still pretty much like the whole album, I just happen to prefer all the more jammy and/or intimate tunes.

The guitar solo on Great Apes saves that song for me tho. And the outro to TATW is cool. I know the band recorded a lotttt more songs. I wouldn't be surprised if there's some sick B sides released. I thought the I'm With You B Sides were incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for putting me on to that! Just got done watching all the live stuff. It's so nice to see them jamming again, it comes SO effortlessly to them. Chad Smith is such a good fucking drummer, I think one of the most underrated ever, I never see him mentioned in top drummer lists. I have to listen to the Rick Rubin podcast now. Feeling super excited to see them in September. I have decent tickets, but really wish GA wasn't fucking $700. Don't know how many more chances I'll get to see these 4 together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
