RHCP - Stadium Arcadium (album, American, track, quote, bands)

The amazing guitar work is the only thing that makes SA worth listening to, IMO. There's just too many boring mid-tempo tracks. Must give them credit though, I was a bit wary about them going back to their "funkier" sound on some tracks - thought it might've come off as really forced, but they pulled it off well. "Storm In A Teacup" almost sounds like it would've fit on BSSM, but it doesn't sound like they were trying to write a song that would've fit on BSSM. And throughout the entire album, you can just sense that they're a band with a lot of heart and the only reason they're making music together is because they love making music together - which sadly seems to be a rare thing in modern mainstream rock.

My personal favourite album of theirs would have to be By The Way.
