I enjoyed the album a lot and it started off really strong but, as said before, it really needs a remixed edition. This album is better then the stuff they bring out later which is kind of sad. I hope they come out with something half decent soon.

I have to disagree with one thing. The beat for otherside i feel fits in there absolutely perfectly. Chad smith does a great job with keep rhythm and feeling of the song. he uses a basic rock beat, with some funk influence and a couple creative licks.

ps: great review, this is probly my favorite album of all time along with BSSM and BTW. And you did good job reviewing, especially with Road Trippin. That was a perfect way to end the album.

I forgot to add, one more critisism you should have added was that the songs Around the World and Purple stain really dont belong on this album. I love them, think there geat, but they dont fit the mood of this album, and they digress back to older stuff from mothers milk and such.

Personally I think RHCP should have stuck with the pure funk on Freakey Styley. I am a huge George Clinton fan. BSSM is still my favorite. I don't like Californication much.

That would have been cool, but i cant see AK rapping like that at the age he is now. And if he did, it would be quite funny

And if that happened we wouldnt have been able to see Frusciante blossom into the guitarist he is. Especially his mothers milk playing.

Personally I'd be fine with Flea and Chad Smith being the virtuouso's in the band. To each his/her own.
