i don't have high hopes for it, but i do know it won't be as bad as their last one

if it is somehow worse than their last one, i might seriously start believing in the whole 2012 business

CRYING. Acceptable at funerals and the Grand Canyon

Thoughts

*Klinghoffer does well to impart his own style
*Klinghoffer plays with no emotion
*Flea can't write a bad bassline
*Anthony Kiedis definitely rhymed "arouse her" with "espouse her"
*The mastering on some of these tracks seems pretty terrible. Like as bad as "Power"
*They seem to have written a Britpop song, which is actually quite good.
*Too much disco-influenced drumming, Chad.
*Now I can theoretically see John Frusciante solo for a relatively cheap price
*Weird usages of distortion, mainly from Klinghoffer, but also on the verses of "Monarchy of Roses"
*Creepy cover art
*Anthony Kiedis needs to lose the awful mustache.
*More songs of the good-very good level than all of Stadium Arcadium
*Better on first listen than By The Way was, but that album was a grower, and I'm not sure this one will be.

I sincerely doubt this since SA had about 20 'good or better than good' songs and none bad!

SHUT UP IT'S TRUE


will listen to this in a sec

By the Way certainly was a grower, it was.

I will type this up as I go along, this is first listen though and my opinions will probably change a lot after this:

- Monarchy of Roses was.. weird. Good but weird. Liked the outro. HATED the production though. Could be the rip.
- Factory of Faith was pretty old skool. Didn't like the guitar tone at all. Sounded very clipped. Good song though.
- Brendan's Death Song is AMAZING. Could totally see this as the next single. First track where I really liked Josh's playing. Sounded very By The Way-esque.
- Ethiopia: Love Flea's basstone and bassline, but that is expected. Josh sounds very Frusciante on here. I don't think I like how very chameleonesque he's acting on this record so far. The solo is very minimalistic, which isn't necessarily bad but it's way too repetitive for its own good. Good track nonetheless, great chorus
- Annie Wants A Baby: Dat bass. Flea instantly reminds me why he's my favourite bassist on this record. Very Frusciante-esque licks again here by Josh. He uses a scale here in some parts that Frusciante never would in RHCP though, so props for that. Abrupt ending. Felt as if it wasn't finished to me.
- Look Around: Very upbeat start. Good stuff! Like Klinghoffer's effects on here. What the hell those claps. I have no idea what they thought when they were doing that in the chorus. They seem out of place.. For now. That bridge hell yes dat bass. The harmonies are great here too, very psychedelic. Overall the second track where I feel Klinghoffer's contribution is really good.
- The Adventures of Raindance Maggie: Still a great song, that is all.
- Did I Let You Know: Good stuff. Very summerish lead guitar. Hey Josh's great voice as a second lead in the chorus. They should've let his voice shine more like they do on this track. Cool stuff. Flea's trumpet skills hell yeah. Seems like a track they won't perform live though, which is sad. (Flea can't do trumpet and bass at once I guess) First solo I like by Josh. Good stuff. Very dynamic track despite holding the same groove the whole time through.
- Goodbye Hooray: Woo a harder RHCP track. A Phrygian (excuse my nerdiness) huh. Something I wouldn't see frusciante use. Good stuff.
- Happiness Loves Company: Ah, piano. Good stuff, very upbeat again!
- Police Station: Wow really good stuff. Very laid back. This album is going places! Great chorus. Love the backings here. Chorus definitely has a By The Way feel. Great bridge.
- Even You Brutus?: I see they lumped all the piano tracks together and they are all great. This album feels like it's divided up into two parts now. Kind of like By The Way come to think of it.
- Meet Me At The Corner: Pretty relaxed stuff. Feel like this would've fit better right before all the piano tracks though. Still, good song, although Josh is going all John a bit too much again. Hey Josh lead vocals in the bridge. Good stuff. Don't see how those last 20 seconds were needed AT ALL though.
- Dance, Dance, Dance: Great bass line. Love the haunting guitar lines here. Overall a good song but not really a closer on first listen.



Verdict: Good album, definitely enjoyed it. It could be a grower, but I doubt it. We'll see!

turns out the rip i listened to was bad

which might be why it sounded poorly mastered

same with me, but I only found the first track cringe-worthy production wise. It sounded like a radio rip, which it may have been

yeah, Monarchy was really bad. but i had my nice headphones on (I found them! They were in my brother's room from when I was painting in here) and you can hear an underlying fuzz on the right that is solely due to the bad rip

(11:43:44 PM) Luster: OMG, Cokes is going to make moonshine.

I like this album so far, it's a lot more BSSM-like than Stadium Arcadium.

"By The Way" is my favorite album from RHCP. I like it even more than BSSM overall. So that's a good sign.
