This.

The Longest Wave to Go Robot is a good stretch.

Encore is amazing as well.

Yes lad.

 

[Badabing]

This is a really good album. Can't get enough. Check it out if you haven't, very RHCP

Agreed. Some real classics on here. The Longest Wave, Goodby Angels and Encore just amazing stuff.

 

[Eidan]

I'm feeling this album more than the new Radiohead album. I'm stunned.

 

[Baka Zeitgeist]

Like the cd, most songs are good, some are just ok, but "This Ticonderoga" is the mother fucking shit.

 

[ZeroMaverick]

This is their best album since By The Way, hands down. Josh seems to have found a more comfortable fit, and Anthony isn't doing a bunch of weird shit like raspberries or speaking in tongues. I love this album. Ditching Rick Rubin was a smart decision.

 

[LocknessMobster]

Its grown on me after listening to it half a dozen times. Its mostly mellow and i wanted more high energy rock outta them but whetevs.

That seems to be their way now, kinda an adult alternative group now. I like the new album but miss the edginess of Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magic.

I give up. Chills have reached the post Super Bowl Aerosmith level. Just throw out some shit every 5 years and tour the world several times cause they have the catalog to do so. It's fine. I'm not even mad anymore. I love the guys and always will but I have zero hope for new material going forward.

You can't really expect a group of 50+ year olds to be as edgy as they were when they were in their late 20's. It would be quite sad if they even tried.

Have you seen them play live lately? They still put as much energy into their shows as most bands half their age do and not to mention they still ROCK their older music. They def dont come off as "old" yet IMO. At least we have a huge catalog of excellent music from them to fall back on.

I really like Go Robot and Encore, other than that it's pretty mediocre.

Agreed. I still plan to see them live on this tour. The new stuff isn't as good, but I still love getting new stuff from them. They just played Nobody Weird Like Me at one of the recent festivals

Good song

 

[crashnburn]

Much better showing than I'm With You. Doesn't reach the highs of their early career but personally, I think it's a great listen.

My favorites (besides the first 3 'singles') would be Sick Love, Encore, Feasting on the Flowers, and This Ticonderoga.

 

[Fata1moose]

Detroit is a real stinker though, really dislike Anthony's vocals there.

 

[Milchjon]

For some reason I've been enjoying Dark Necessities a lot over the past few days. Kinda atmospheric and chill and love the harmonies.

 

[Mad Season]

Encore is a classic

 

[Serpico99]

Even though the radio overplayed it back in '06, I still think Snow is the last great song. Disappointed with the past 2 albums. Also "Make You Feel Better" is one of the best on that album.
