Free Music Notes for Stadium Arcadium
Free Music Review: Amazing album.
Hit: 5 Stars
The Peppers did it. They created their best album yet. This is the first album in three years that I have been able to continusely listen to. The music is definitely mellower than past RHCP, but in my opinion, suits them better than anything they've ever done. All four of these guys are in their elements on this album. Frusciante's guitar playing is, while no Hendrix, definitely well-suited to the album, and he keeps up beautifully with anything handed to him. Flea is, as always, amazing. Chad Smith, while not a standout, fits into his rythyms and intracacies fine. Kiedis' voice, while not stunning, is the only voice that could work for these guys--I personally like his voice quite a bit. There are both standout gems on the album, and a few that could have been left out. To give you a taste of the music, I'll review a few select songs.
DANI CALIFORNIA--more mainstream than anything else on the album, except for maybe Snow. Definitely a good song. Number one most played on my iTunes. 9.5/10.
SNOW (HEY OH)--love, love, love the guitar riff at beginning. Overall, a great song with good lyrics, fantastic guitar (John shines on this one,) and Anthony's voice is VERY well suited to this one. 9.9/10.
HARD TO CONCENTRATE--melodic, beautiful. best lyrics on the album. This song isn't given enough credit. 9.2/10.
CHARLIE--Seriously, what on EARTH is this song about? I know Anthony said it was about someone's imagination or something, but come on. Sounds like drugs to me. Not a particularly good track. I still like it, but it was definitely skippable. 7.5/10.
IF--This song is...not a standout. The lyrics are very cute, and the music is alright...but nothing special. 6.9/10.
BUY THIS ALBUM.
It's seriously one of the best things I've heard in quite a while.
Free Music Review: RHCP fans everywhere are insulted!!
Hit: 1 Stars
In the time it's taken for the Chili Peppers to release thier last two albums they've turned from one of the best bands of the past 20 years to a complete joke! Anthony Kiedis sounds like a complete tool (your new singing style sucks!) and Flea's bass lines have about as much balls as the last James Taylor album.
Flea was quoted saying "If you don't like this album, you don't like the Chili Peppers." Well I loved the Chili Peppers and "Heyyooo this is what I sayyooo, THIS ALBUM SUCKS!!!! PEACE!!"
Stick with the first 6 albums!
Free Music Review: It's that Good
Hit: 5 Stars
You know an album is good, when after a few years you go back to it and find it that exciting or maybe even a little more thatn when you first picked it up.
I honestly don't understand, or see how any RHCP loyalist or tradistionalist can call this album soft and weak. I mean even the weaker songs usually have a nugget of something that hooks you in. (i.e. Charlie)
there are so many good songs and it so big, and sounds so splendid that, it just makes you want to start it over right when you get to the end.
And the people that say "Dani california" is a rip off Tom Petty's "Last Dance With Mary Jane", you are retarded. It's a standard beat, with a somewhat standard melody. I think rubin would have pointed that out to them seeing as how he produced both songs. I didn't even think of that when I first heard it, i thought that the repeated guitar lick in the solo sounded alot like "Purple Haze".
so there you go... I love exploring this album and I think you should too.
Oh and by the way, I have been listening to them since the mid 80's. So it is nice to see a group of guys grow up into actual muscians of merit after just being novelty joke band.
Free Music Review: Awesome
Hit: 5 Stars
Just when you think they've hit the top, they do it again. This double CD is just incredible. EVERY song is catchy. Even the couple that I didn't care for, on the second CD, have grown on me. They are so versatile that they go from ballads to blues to pure rock and roll all in one album and not one song sounds the same. Vocals are great in that they harmonize most chorus parts and although some of the guitar rythyms and leads are simple, they are catchy and the music is FUN. I haven't stopped listening to these two CD's for a month now since my purchase. These are two of the best CD's that I own. Can't wait to have the top down in my convertible blasting this music on a warm summer day or night. It's FUN and that's what music is SUPPOSE to BE! Awesome! Free Music Review: Amazing!
Hit: 5 Stars
