Aint No Right

you aren't missing much

Anthony Kiedis is pretty buff for someone pushing 60

Hadn't heard this cover before. Love this era

this one is better

Ak's gonna need O2 if they play that one live. There's the radio friendly funk. First listen and I like; it's a relaxed jam. Vox is too high in the mix and the guitar is almost lazy, but all in all pleasing.

DN’s Walkabout funk/fuzz is more interesting

His vocal cadence makes this unlistenable for me.

here's an antidote

Not the One is aptly titled. Are they trying to lower expectations to the absolute lowest common denominator?

I was worried because I didn't really dig the first couple singles, but I'm pleasantly surprised with the album overall so far (perhaps due to lowered expectations). Probably wouldn't make the cut in a list of my Top 10 RHCP albums, but I'll give it a few more listens and see how it shakes out. (Though this is coming from someone who fucking loves By The Way, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. )

Got through the 1st listen. It was nice to hear Froosh back in the fold. I read a review where the writer mentioned he thought JF looks at the band like a logic problem. Interesting remark, but with a few exceptions he doesn't seem to integrate his complex musical ideas much here. But...Aquatic Mouth Dance, The Grape Apes, She's a Lover, One Way Traffic, and Bastards of Light all made me smile wide though. There are touches of Shadows Collide With People in the mix that I liked too

just watched this


and this



Neither did it for me.

Still digesting the new album. They still have plenty of energy on certain songs though, I'll give them that.

I don't terribly mind black summer. I couldn't get through any other song though. Basically I stopped with them after OHM. I don't like Anthony's voice and the music is corporate elevator rock imo.

Veronica is a pretty decent song. That's about it.

This is terrible. I'm a fan of 'old man' RCHP - I've liked most of their last couple of albums.

Bring back Josh. That had some spark. John F. hits this band like Ambien.

You guys all need to play it louder and repeatedly.

I had a chat on this with my kiddo over the holiday. He's a musician, at least he reads, plays (in 2 bands), and studies theory. He thinks it's better than Californication and SA. He started in on some minutia that was "really interesting" and thinks their choices were kind of a fu to the pop listener. I am really disappointed with a few exceptions, but I said I'd keep it on play periodically.

The only way to stay awake while listening to it.

been listening to old RHCP boots n it turns out daves stratless rig was just as wrong as fleas pickless playing in janes .. both teams took a real hit in the tone and style department

Fuck me that's some fucken sick guitar playing.

So, I went to the show last night. A friend couldn’t come so I ended up taking my 6 year old boy as well as my 10 year old.

It was really fun, a bit strange and emotional doing it as a single dad but actually I’ve always been a crybaby at gigs

We were so far from the stage I couldn’t really see the performers but the big screens were fun.

The boys loved it and that was the biggest thrill, although the little one crashed and burned, sleeping through the last four or five songs! He’s been so desperate to hear black summer but he slept through it!

Thunder at and Anderson pak both killed it stone dead and to be fair to the crowd, they were great for the support acts. I was expecting much worse!

Glad you all liked it

Thought this was interesting
