Stadium Arcadium
 

Seeing as how it leaked yesterday, I downloaded it.... Let me just say that... IT KICKS ASS!!! Well worth the wait, there is a ton of material. It took just under 2 hours to finish the thing and I'm extremely impressed. Again, the guitar work is fantastic. Wait till most of you guys hear it, it's rather impressive. 28 songs is a lot to take it.

So, is it better than that last piece of junk?

Looking forward to hearing it when its out

How dare you?!??!!!!???? *&^)*(&)^

I like Dani California, even if it is just a recycled Californication/By The Way track. I can't believe it's been 4 years since the last album.

It was crap though, let's be honest.

I am certain if I admitted that I'd go to hell....

Well for the record, I thought By The Way was for the most part really good and creative

I've listened to the first disc of SA, and so far I'm distinctly underwhelmed ...

I got it yesterday and on first listen i like it

I'm only 2 and a half songs into the second disc and I'm already enjoying it more than the first

wait till you hear track 11 i think it is. loved that one

Storm In A Teacup is badass!! Loved it too!!! Animal Bar is awesome too!

Ryan

Haven't heard it yet. Should I get it?

Damn right it is !!
Alex. Yes you should get it , if you dont like it i'll let you buy me a beer

The second disc is so much better than the first ... maybe I just didnt listen to the first properly? Will have to give it another spin soon

Nice try, Russ :D

I am just loving "Stadium Arcadium''.I think the Mars Disc is little better than the Jupiter. But all i can say it is by far the best thing they ever done

this records is much better than by the way, there're even songs that reminds me of Mothers Milk!!!!! the second disc is much better

:)
I was going to say that but it i think its too early to say yet

If thats true than I will get it... I love by the way and mothers milk...

how much do you like them?



How can one not like the first disc? I am still hung up on it and cannot progress to Mars quite yet. This will be a long journey.

I love the peppers!!

huah! LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL.......

I know!!!! I'm so impressed with this album. Did you see the Special Box Edition you can buy? Even the artwork is badass!

Ryan

NO, I have not. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. Who carries it?

I too am endlessly impressed. It is all it was promised to be and I was soooo worried that they were done for it.... When I heard all the love shit and how it influenced their album, I got REALLY scared, but man - this album is out of this world. LOVE them. Unfortunately, I am, once again, out of town when they blow through.... *weep*

two down, one to come (PJ and RHCP - AS still outstanding and I am afraid it will suck).

You can buy the box almost anywhere I believe. Check Best Buy or if you have a Tower Records. Not sure if there is one in Seattle or not. There is so much good music that has came out recently, it's blowing my mind! Pearl Jam, Goo Goo Dolls, Godsmack, RHCP, Hoobastank, Angels & Airwaves. It's a lot to take in, but along with Angels & Airwaves, RHCP has the best album!

Ryan

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium -...
That should help! :)

Ryan

Oh, Ryan honey, that sentence just makes no sense. There is no possible way you can put PJ and RHCP in the same sentence with any of the rest.

Haven't listened to the new GGD album yet...

Red Hot Chili Peppers
 

:):)

Just wanted to say I am loving the new song from RHCP, "Dani California".

A great sound, great rhythm, a really good feel to the song. I have always like Anthony Kiedis songwriting style and attitude.

I am now curious to hear the new album!

:):)

Am i the only one to think the beginning sounds identical to 'country house' by blur?

OK, so upon second full listen to the first disc, I feel I didn't give it enough credit or listen to it properly the first time round. It's a lot better than I remember it, John especially showing his genius

But, despite the fact that individually the songs are mostly all good, I still have a couple of problems with it as an album ... for a start, it tends to drag a bit in places, and secondly, it almost seems like they set about to recreate their own sound through various eras .... there's not really a defining Stadium Arcadium sound that I've discovered so far, its just song that sound like they could be BSSM era, songs that sound like they could be Mother's Milk era, songs that could be Californication era and songs that could be By The Way era. And as such, the whole thing comes across as more of a compilation of b-sides from each of those albums ... very impressive b-sides, but it still lacks the cohesion of an album

I'll keep you informed as to how this progresses ;)

gotta love the chilis cant fault

I think you can fault them, I agree with what walrus said

I don't think I agree with this at all. To me there are two general RHCP eras: pre Californication and post Californication. I don't find Mothers Milk soo much different from Freaky Stiley for example. And both Californication and By The Way are very pop.

Stadium Arcadium, on the other hand, has a lot of pop influences and is probably the most melodic record of all without going completely pop as with the two previous releases. If anything it brings the two eras together - going back to more funk, but retaining some of the melodic pop qualities.

Naughty Chilis!

Ohhhh its almost identical!! how the **** did they think they would get away with that?

I like Petty, I can't believe I didn't make the link myself!
