Free Music Notes for Stadium Arcadium
Free Music Review: Once a Pepper, always a Pepper
Hit: 4 Stars
If you like the Chili Peppers, you'll like this album. The Peppers have a very distinct sound (some of my friends argue that all their songs sound alike), and this album is no different. I'm a big Peppers fan, and have really enjoyed this album...but if you're not a fan, and you want something that sounds different than their previous albums, you shouldn't buy this one.Free Music Review: classic
Hit: 5 Stars
I don't even buy their stuff, even though I've heard it. I really am not much of a fan. I listen to more rap and old r&b than RHCP style of rock. I just got bored one day and figured I'd go to amazon and listen to snips of this album.I bought it that day and sonically on a good stereo this has to be the best sounding cd for technical channeling different sounds and instruments that I've ever heard.It even made me buy a new car stereo b/c my previous one couldn't pick up all the sounds that they were doing.Anyway, for a guy who can't sing live he does great on this cd, and that band is probably one of the best bands I've heard in a long time, including song writing. That's about all I'm gonna say. It was a great classic double cd.Free Music Review: One awesome cd
Hit: 4 Stars
It never ceases to amaze me how a band of RHCP's stature can still be getting new fans all the time and they have been out for over 20 years! I became a fan of the group when i began listening to " dani california". I thought the song was awesome, so i asked for " Stadium Arcadium" for my birthday. Overall, the album is pretty good. There are maybe a few songs that really didn't grab my attention at first but they have grown on me. This is defintely a cd worth getting. There are 28 songs so chances are that you'll like a few of them even if you don't like them all.Free Music Review: I'm Lovin' It!!

I must admit that I have never been a huge fan of the RHCP. However, after listening to their most recent Greatest Hits collaboration, they really grew on me rather quickly. Then, for some odd reason, I decided to put that cd into my player at work and couldn't stop listening to it. So, about a month ago, I grabbed this double cd set off of the library shelves and simply can't get enough! I'm hugely impressed by the RHCP and can't believe what a wonderful album they have produced. I don't even have to skip a single song and that's saying something when you have a total of 28 songs - not a stinker in the whole bunch. RHCP have kind of became a permanent "sound" in my car. Both cd's are interchanged with equal play time for over the past 2 weeks now. I gotta say that I'm lovin' it! In my opinion, I must say that this is probably the most consistent and enjoyable cd set to come my way in a very long time.
Keep rockin' it RHCP!!
Free Music Review: Twice as many winners, twice as much junk
Hit: 3 Stars
One of the biggest problems with RCHP albums is that they overstay their welcome (several cross the hour mark by a decent margin) when they're usually at their best in smaller doses. So what a near-disastrous mistake it is for them to release a double album, each side far longer than they had any right to be. As a result, about half the tracks (therefore making up about one whole album!) sound too much like filler or worse and should have been scrapped to begin with. All the same, it's still RHCP, and they're too good to completely blow it, and the other "half" of the recording is often quite good.
"Dani California" is a solid starter, if a bit weak for the first single; "Tell Me Baby" is no better. The ballad-ish tracks are a mixed bag as expected. Most disappointing is the lack of good funky numbers, most notably the borderline embarrassing "Hump De Bump" (I realize that funk isn't expected to have lucid lyric writing, but come on!). The ones that traverse the middle road are the most frequently successful, in no small part to the often obvious contribution by Frusciante, who is quickly becoming the most intriguing musician in the group (sorry, Flea).
Best cuts: "Hard to Concentrate," "Animal Bar," "Especially in Michigan," "Stadium Arcadium," "Slow Cheetah," "Dani California," "Snow (Hey Oh)," "Readymade," "Torture Me," "Strip My Mind," "C'mon Girl," "If," "Tell Me Baby"
