I mean, these guys used to do shows wearing nothing but socks on their d*cks. How do they go from that to doing a whole double album of ballads? It seems a bit contrived to me, their new songs are pretty weak, they really lost the plot.

As further proof of Rolling Stones irrevelance they rated Stadium Arcadium as their best album
. Actually Californication is more funk than BSSM which was more rap-rock. Most of it is funk, just a little more melodic than their earlier work.
