Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium Discussion Thread

[someguy]

Called Dani California, after a few listens it has done nothing for me.

I'll try to find a download of it somewhere and upload it. I'm disappointed with this song, it's pretty boring :(

[Criminal Rock]

i've actually had this single since last week, but here's the link.

here. (http://s65.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1M9MUFAEVNN9Z1S088DWBG6GM1)

[Criminal Rock]

here's some of their other songs

21 century (http://www.utbrocks.com/files/21st_Century.mp3)

[The Heart Collector]

The video somehow made the song be good.

[Sigur509]

I'm sure it will grow on me, but I remember thinking By The Way was one of the best songs ever.

[detective mills]

It's good, but its not as good as their past few lead singles. By The Way and Scar Tissue were such great songs right off the bat. This one I know will grow on me, but I was hoping it would be better.
John Frusciante is definately one of the best guitarists out there though.

[Criminal Rock]

John is one of the best guitarists...

It's an Omar Flea Frusciante jam.

Vid is here (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4238147081770670082&q=flea+frusciante+omar&pl=true)

WOW!

[bluesbrother965]

Song is weak, and I don't like the video, either. Might give the rest of the album a try, but I'd rather listen to more of their old stuff that I haven't heard.

[Sigur509]

I like it a lot more now.

[Criminal Rock]

The song might be weaker then anything they've ever released, but it still aint that bad...

but the jam i posted last is sick as fuck...

They need to record an album together.

[PBateman]

Dani California isn't there best single but its not that bad i downloaded the whole album its pretty solid

Hell fucking yeah. I would love to see an album put together.

Isn't both Flea and Frusciante playing on the new Volta album?

really? it leaked? when? i need to get it

[Frank the Tank]

I think the song is catchy as hell and I really enjoy it. The video is just awesome. One of my favorites in quite some time.

[Criminal Rock]

Only about six songs have been leaked in the last two and a half months...

Yes, Frusciante is considered an “official unofficial” member of the Volta... I hear the album is pretty sick too.

I’m glad to see John try other things, it seems to clear his mind some. And if the Peppers want to stay alive for another five to ten years from now, they need him willing and ready. I guarantee you once he gets bored, he’ll leave.

Unless i have all rare songs unrealeased but i pretty much have them all anyways, I believe I have the whole album i'll post the track list later on tonight so you guys can judge for yourselves gotta go to work



:D

[Criminal Rock]

NOPE! YOU HAVE BEEN DENIED!

As an official member of the chili peppers fan club, I’ve only been able to downloaded nine bootlegs of the entire 28 track listing, and we normally get first dibs over everybody on the net.

Here are the current available bootlegs:

21st century
Dani California
Desecration smile
Hump de Bump
Only 18
Ready made
Tell me baby
Wet sand
And a 27 second snippet of SNOW

If you’re that one lucky bastard that actually DOES, indeed have all the tracks to the album... well, by god you better post it. And fast.

Ah yes! I stand both corrected and PWNED sorry for getting your hopes up feel like a tool i have 15 songs and some i didn't listen to until this afternoon at work @ lunch and they were old songs with filenames i never heard of and i'm kinda of pissed because i hate when songs are named wrong and then i download them and its some old ass shit....... once again sorry

[Criminal Rock]

Here's the album for download

jupiter - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=A3I9K04F
mars - http://www.megaupload.com/pt/?d=QLCT3AEB

The albums different. Many of the tracks are filler, but only to an extent though... they're good fillers at that. Some great songs on here man. I encourage everyone to, at least, take a peep.

[CMAGUS]

This song sounds the same as every other song coming out its just another average single nothing new.

[dfd3657]

I don't know about anybody else, but I happen to love the song. It's got a great chorus and it's a good song all around (in my opinion). I still prefer old RHCP, but I really like this.

[Sigur509]

Not really.

Filler is Filler

Havent bothered with the RHCP for about 5 years now

[detective mills]

those links are dead, anyone got any other links to the cd?

[Criminal Rock]

try searching bittorent

[someguy]

Psychocandy, why don't you just rename the thread to be the album rather than the single since it's kind of shifted gears to the album now.

As for the album leak, I'll wait for a rip that isn't AAC. That's the worst.

[notchreturns]

Solo Frusciante > RHCP

[detective mills]

Great CD
I can't stop listening to She's Only 18

[Criminal Rock]

Most notable tracks.

Readymade
She’s only 18
Dani California
Stadium Arcadium
Tell me Baby
Wet Sand
Charlie
We Believe
Turn it again
Desecration Smile
Hump De Bump
Slow Cheetah
Warlocks
Hey
She Looks to Me

This is a great album, I can't wait to buy it new.

[Criminal Rock]

I don't quite agree. Although Frusciante is my all time favorite guitarist, the Peppers did some amazing shit before he was even in the band, and even when Dave Navarro was the guitarist. John has a great influence on their new sound, though...

[Psychocandy]

If you stripped this album of the less stellar tracks (there's nothing truly bad and I can't bring myself to call the lesser tracks filler) and pared it down to a single album containing only the best songs does anyone think the resultant album would be better than By The Way (in my opinion the best album the Chili Peppers have released so far). I've not listened to it enough to judge myself. But i'd be interested in hearing some opinions from those of you who have already spent a bit of time with the album.

[someguy]

by the way, thanks for the thread change psych

[Psychocandy]

I think it was a pundamental change. Don't you agree?

[someguy]

Well yes, and for the album I have not listened to it yet. I will soon though.

[Lost in Space]

the tour will kick ass
the record i am not desperate for

[Son Gohan]

Listend to the whole album about 4 times already. It's alright, the best tracks for me are:

Desecration Smile
Turn It Again
Readymade
We Believe
Especially In Michigan

[erinachan]

I freakin love this album (though Californication will always be number one in my heart) but Dani California is a great song also really loved Wet Sand, Desecration Smile and Havana Affair.

[Criminal Rock]

Havana Affair is a sick song, but it's too bad it's not on the Album ;).

It's just a B-side.

[erinachan]

what? downloading? me? no, never! :o lol Havana Affair is an awesome song it just gets stuck in your head, and just for the record so I dont feel too guilty, I have the album on order ;)

[Criminal Rock]

Word. Same here. The version I leaked is so shitty... I can't wait for the authentic version.

[therealjohng]

I like RHCP, but I really do miss the days of Higher Ground and Mother's Milk.

[dfd3657]

I'm REALLY tempted to download the album, but it comes out on Tuesday, so I'm holding off. I'm hoping to go see them when they're in Boston.

[chinton]

I gues s Ill have to be the minority here. Ive listened to about half the album so far and its fantastic. Ive never understood what was so appealing about early Chili Peppers especially BloodSugarSexMagic and Mothers Milk. Still I loved Californication and this album so far easily trumps that.

I got this along with the new Pearl Jam. I like two songs on that thats about it

[Andrew Ratto]

.

[chinton]

uhhh ok?

[echo_bravo]

This cd kicks ass. It has a great mixture of slow, chillin songs and some great funkny ones. I must say Anthony's vocals have really improved over the years. I will definitely be seeing them when they come to Chicago.

[chinton]

Keep in mind Ive only listened tp the first CD so far but I like it when they do the more acoustic/funk/melodic rock that permeates this album.

[Bullet Tooth Tony]

So I've now had time to listen to the album a few times. I love how its so diverse with so many different RHCP styles on there.

Best tracks?

"Turn It Again"
"Tell Me Baby"
"Dani California"
"Slow Cheetah"
"Wet Sand"

To name a Top 5 at the minute..."Turn It Again" is an epic and for me the standout. John really has the chance to shine on that track!

Oh and sorta funny story. Last Saturday I went to the local "indie/rock" venue at my town Soundhaus and when they played "Dani California" I went crazy playing air guitar on the dancefloor. The missus wasnt impressed...I blame the numerous pints of Stella!

[Andrew Ratto]

.

[starcat]

i havent had the privelage of listening to this album yet, but hope to real soon...i hope there is some really funky tunes on their... i love it when keides does his rap thing... id truthfully rather hear him rap than most raps out there... and i just wish they would do another song thats on the same line as sikamikaniko.... a song no one really knows about so i dont even know how well known it is...

[Criminal Rock]

This is most definitely the best album of the year so far... The quality of the CD itself deserves a fucking Grammy. And the songs… good lord, they’re unbelievable. I’m still thrown back about it all.

I’ll be in line to see them as soon as the gates are open...

[bowieee]

I think this album suffers from Use your Illusion syndrome. There are alot of really good songs but they are pasted together with quite a bit of bland mediocre ones. Disc 2 totally outweighed disc 1 as far as having kick ass content. One thing that is consistent is Frsciantes fucking awseome guitar wailing throughout the album. Beautiful stuff. My friends and I just scored tickets to the RHCP/Mars Volta show at the end of the summer so I'm stoked. Live both bands dwarf most other artists live work.

[chinton]

I actually like Disc 1 better than Disc 2.


Love Slow Cheetah
Hey Oh
Stadium Arcadium
Tell me Baby
Torture me
Wet Sand

[leafboy]

Sucked for the most part.

[Monotreme]

Wow.

So I bought the album last week and I haven't stopped listening to it. RHCP are one of my favourite bands and this stuff is gold, just gold.

At first I was a bit skeptic. While the album was undeniably good when I first listened to it, I could never compare it to Blood Sugar Sex Magik or Californication, both completely revolutionary albums for the band. But after much more listening to it, the album really started to grow on me, and there are many songs on it that I can totally see becoming RHCP classic staples in the future.

So far I've mainly been listening to the first 10 or so tracks on the first disc, and only listened to the second disc like twice. I don't know how anybody can say this stuff is bad unless they just don't like the band's style - every song on the album is great. Obviously some stand out as excellent, but there really isn't one song on the album that I can say is "bad". The album is extremely diverse, combining all of the band's styles: pop/mainstream, hard rock, funk, slow ballads, etc. It's all there, and the album is perfectly balanced, without really emphasizing anything, and the order of the songs from a listening standpoint is perfect.

Favourite songs:

1. Hump de Bump (can't get enough of this. I really hope they release this as a single)
2. Snow (Hey Oh)
3. She's Only 18
4. Slow Cheetah
5. Torture Me
6. Tell Me Baby
7. Storm in a Teacup
8. 21st Century
9. Dani California
10. Stadium Arcadium

This isn't to say that the other songs aren't good... it's just, these are the songs that I simply can't get enough of.

I haven't yet decided if I agree with the band that this is the "best work they've ever done" - as with good movies, it'll take a while for it to sink in, and I'll have to see how well the album ages for me, but what's for sure is that this is definitely AS GOOD AS the band's best work on Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Californication.

[moviemaniac8210]

They are coming around here in August, I want tickets. I'm sure they put on a great live show :D

[HHH123007]

I think it's one of the best albums of the year so far....and one of their better ones.

Anyone who dislikes the recent Chili Peppers should kinda take a step back and realize that these guys have no reason to be putting out anything close to being this good at this stage in their careers. They could easily just do the same thing they did on the last disc or something equally bland after the "drug years" like most bands do.

[moviemaniac8210]

I loved this WHOLE album! The only thing that disapoints me is that I can't make it to their concert in August:(

YES.


I also almost PISSED myself watching the Dani California video for the first time.



~darchangel~

[powersauce]

I just got into their catalogue to coincide with SA. I previously just had Californication and What Hits. Mother's Milk is my favorite so far. SA is slowly growing on me after each listen. Torture Me is my personal favorite on the album.

I happen to be listening to BSSM now. Naked In The Rain is playing.

[Criminal Rock]

BSSM is their best album. Fucking great ass shit.

[Sigur509]

Still think By The Way is their best. A classic album that will stand the test of time.

[Zeems McSnatch]

picked the album up last week, it's definately very good, but Californication still reignes supreme in my opinion.

anybody else think that "Animal Bar" sounds like the sequel to "Universally Speaking"?

[arto_j]

Don't know about that, but any rock song with a Norman Mailer reference is automatically cool in my books.

[bankholdup]

Just got ahold of the album last night. I just finished Disc 1, and am working on Disc 2. I'm not exactly blown away yet, but there are a few really good songs (Wet Sand, Hey). This could take a while to sink in.

[Criminal Rock]

The more you listen to it the better it gets... Kind of like wine, except on a smaller time scale.

In my opinion, the first CD outweighs the second... but here’s a list of all the better songs on the album (if not the most memorable):

Dani California
Charlie
Slow Cheetah
She’s only 18
Strip my mind
Warlocks
Wet sand
Tell Me Baby
Readymade
Death of a Martian

[Sigur509]

Charlie


So far my favorite track.

[Criminal Rock]

i'm torn between Charlie, Slow Cheetah, and Readymade... all such good tracks, I just can't make that choice.

[Monotreme]

I still think that Hump De Bump is one of, of not THE best track on the album. I can listen to it endlessly and never grow tired of it.

[Criminal Rock]

Yeah fuckin' ha!! Just bought my tickets for the show here in AZ on the 21st... section 111, row Q, seats 11-13.

Fucking stoked beyond belief right now...

[Jon Lyrik]

I can't really get into it, it's too unwieldy.
