RHCP - Stadium Arcadium

They Suck

can you read croatian? (directed to adidas)

:laughing:

Oh thats gold. He IS Croatian.

And I might be getting it tomorrow, maybe.

your site isnt very nice. it doesnt like people who dont live in croatia.

yeah, that's a real good one aussy.
anyways, i got tired of it after some 5 songs, i wont be getting it that's for sure....and dani california showed so much promise....:(

so you can't listen to it? because i had right track check out if people from other countries can listen to the songs and he said it works fine for him.

Maybe it just doesnt like americans, o'well.

This album is going to be awesome, if its anything like Dani California
Its a double album,isnt it?

Hey, Murder Junkie, if you dont like them, why not stay outta the thread, there are plently of threads that i dont like the bands of, so i just dont go there.

i made this thread so you can listen to it without having to download it, have you tried it?

I have dial-up, man, i cant stream stuff that fast.
Id rather just buy it on tuesday.

oh ok....

You really think it's no good adidasss?

Bugger. I used to rate these guys so highly too.

you have dial up or something? can't listen to the songs?
to be fair, the album has some 20 songs, and i got through the first 5, only one of which i liked....perhapse it gets better after that....although hardly likely....

I listened to the songs, they suck

I hear it`s a double album

*shudder*

RHCP >>>>>>>>> Oasis. :D

Everybody >>>>>>>>>>>> Oasis

At least since 1995 anyway.

Heh i think Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants is really good, just feel like being a ass today :D

It's not the greatest the Chili Peppers have done right down to the cover art. I doubt I will buy it.

I never quite understood that. Oasis had a few really good songs, and it seems lota people LOVE them. I admit i only own one album, Dont believe in the Truth, and its not that wonderful. But thats just me.

Stadium Arcadium was really disappointing, though kind of inevitable.
They kept getting worse after Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
Great album that....

You think Californication and BTW were going down?

I thought this was a decent album, not their best but certainly not their worst. It was no 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik', but it was no 'One Hot Minute'. I really think Frusciante took a bigger role in the sound of this album.

Yeah...
I do.
Don't get me wrong.
By The Way and Californication were great albums, just not as good as Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
Still better then One Hot Minute. :S

Yea i see how lota people think that. BSSM was the height of Frusciante's playing in my opinion. And i think he says in an interview his most technically difficult playing was on that album.

He said that his playing on that album wasn't as good as it could have been because he was trying to get everything done as quickly as possible.

I keep changing my mind on this album. I do like it to a degree, but I'm just annoyed at how contrived it feels. Poppiness isn't necessarily a bad thing, but a contrived sound is. And RHCP have never sounded contrived until Stadium Arcadium.

Yea it loses some of that raw jammy type sound. I do not think thats bad tho for hen, just a little different. And shows them growing more. (growing, not meaning better music, just as artists.)

I wanna meet them just so I can ask them what happened. Its like every single member had a stoke before they recorded the album. It wasnt the shittiest thing put out ever, but they lost something along the way.

Goddamn those stokes.

^Its true, they ruin everything good.

I dont see how you can dislike it so much. Imo every song on both disks is very good. It different from anything else they have had, but not in a bad way. Very good guitar playing throughout it, good baselines still, and what i think is solid vocals. Not to mention lyrics to most of the songs really mean alot, or are dedicated to someone.

Anthony Keidis is incapable of solid vocals.
Thats why they should scrap the pop sound.
Besides,
Stadium Arcadium was all the SAME song.
Seriously...
Sorry,
I'm a hater.
=]

Compare Especially in Michigan or Dani California to songs like Oh Snow and storm in a teacup. If you think they sound AT ALL the same, then your obviously listening to the wrong song. Im not saying you have to think its good, but sound the same...haha thats just dumb

Okay. I am going out on a limb here. My best friend's favourite band is RHCP. He has seen them about a dozen times. his favourite album? STADIUM ARCADIUM. Me? I have seen them twice. Back in the days of Mothers Milk. My fave album? Stadium Arcadium. There are no better songs on this than the Chili's top ten, but it is their most consistent album. Their history is brilliantly checkered with drugs, sex ,death and disillusionment. I think they deserve a stable sound after what they have been through. RHCP sold out? I truly believe that they have not even entertained the notion of selling out. There are so many better tracks on previous albums, but they are not complete, and yes I include BSSM in this. Backwoods, Magic Johnson etc are infinitely beeter than anything on the new album, but that's the dilemma. SA is more cohesive and solid.

FINALLY, a response about not liking the Chili peppers that is actually intelligent. Most others seem to just be AK is an ahole, or they sound the exact same.

+1 for jackhammer

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.

I guess because my first album by them-and the only one i actually own-is BSSM I hold them to that standard.

I have the tendency to base every CD by any artist off my first album by them-rather than on a individual cd-to-cd basis. In rhcp case, its just a step in the wrong direction.

Do you really want to hear BSSM 2 though? I've never really understood that. If I want to hear BSSM, I'll listen to BSSM. No point in the band doing the same shit over again.
