New RHCP album "Stadium Arcadium" to be released May 9th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Eazy E]

I think I like Desecration Smile better than Hard to Concentrate.

For some reason I seem to be listening to the first half of each disc a lot, it may take me awhile to work through the rest (which could be a good thing, this happened with By The Way and that album still seems fresh to me).

[D]

Really?

Im gonna go give it some more listens

Have u checked out "Wet Sand" yet?

its awesome!

Im listening to the first 8 on Jupiter and the first 5 on Mars right now.


ive listened to Desecration Smile bout 8 times in a row, WOW i cant stop listening, I am mesmerized.

[Butch Français]

I mostly put on Jupiter, listen through it. then I put on Mars and listen through it...than I go back to jupiter again

[Thorned Rose]

So far I listen to Jupiter a lot more. I just haven't gotten into this album that much as a whole.

I think this album is great in its depth of 28 tracks, but it has a little too much tone to it. It has everything, and I'm not really liking that. They should of stuck to the Californication and the By the Way sound... I loved that, and this goes back to that Uplift Mofo party bs....

A little weak.

Stadium Arcadium is the great Chili Pepper CD ever.


Guys if u havent, listen to Wet Sand

From 3:42 seconds to the end, it is the most heartbreaking absolute perfect song.


Only flaw is it doesnt last long enough after that, they couldve brought it back and made it one of the greatest songs ever, but it ends too soon.

But from 3:42 on, it is simply a perfect piece of music all the way around.


Top 5 slow songs:
1.Wet Sand
2.Hard To Concentrate
3.Stadium Arcadium
4.Desecration Smile
5.Slow Cheetah

Top 5 fast songs

1.Dani California
2.Tell Me Baby
3.She's only 18
4.Hump De Bump
5.C'mon Girl


Top 5 other songs I didnt mention but are still masterpieces

1.Especially In MIchigan
2.Snow
3.Make You Feel Better
4.Torture Me



Entire album is flawless

I just wish Jupiter ended with Wet Sand instead of "Hey"

Hey is a great song but it just cant follow an unbelievable listening experience like Wet Sand.

[GnFnR87]

 sick!  i think D has finally swayed me to buy this record ASAP!!! lol.

[RichardNixon]

Listened to it a few times all the way though. A really great body of work, but it needs a few spins to really get into. I really like "Death of a Martian" and "Makes you feel better."

[Markus Asraelius]

Bought it on Friday. It does have a lot of different styles in it.

The first 7 tracks of Jupiter are just great. I also love the 9th, 11th and 14th tracks of Jupiter as well as the first and 7th tracks off of Mars. They're just way cool. I'll have to listen more to Mars to give a good review.

[GnFnR87]

so for a double album is pretty solid right? i'm impressed, i'll pick it up soon.

[Timothy]

the album is fucking fantastic.Hands down the album of the year so far .And something that is going to be hard as hell for any band to top.

Timothy is dead on here.

THe album takes a few listens.

My first listen through, only about 4 or 5 songs really caught my ear.

NOw though after about 5 listens, every song is just fantastic.

[Timothy]

It's definatly an album that you need to listen to atleast three times striaght through .

 shit they really out did them selfs on it man .I can say with a 100 perctn satisfaction that their isn't one bad song on the whole album .

[AxlsMainMan]

Just bought the album on the way home...

2 songs into the first disc, and it's good....I just hope theirs some more harder hittin' stuff on it soon

See  I disagree with this. The albums have 28 songs, so of course some will end up what are called "filler". But instead of having "filler" songs that sound like Californication or BTW, I'd much rather hear them change it up and go a little old school. Hence the Uplift Mofo & Mothers Milk style songs. Maybe to most they're not great, but they are different. And it's a change of pace while listening to a double album.

Some great songs on this, I prefer Mars for some reason but both are solid. For anyone on the fence about buying this I highly recommend it.

 One catchy tune I haven't seen mentioned much is 'Charlie' I had that jingle stuck in my head ALL DAY friday!!

[WeHeldTogether]

Stadium Arcadium is awesome!? I'm not sure if it eclipses my extreme like for Blood Sugar Sex Magik(which is probably the closest album to AFD in my ranking of things) but it is quite excellent.? All of the songs are good IMO, but someone of them are worse than others.? A few songs that stick out are "Torture Me" "Wet Sand"(which could very well be the next Under the Bridge) and many more.

And i'm seeing the Peppers later tonight!?

Keep in mind something though dude.

U've listened to BSSM for 15 years, SA isnt even a week old.

Give it time.

I like it more than BSSM right now.

Actually i've been listening to the album for about two weeks.  i listened to it when it was streamed on VH1.  and it really doesn't take me long to formulate an opinion on something, especially if i hear it a lotttt.

Nice to see other Peppers fans here though.

[AxlsMainMan]

So far after only 2 complete listens, I love essentially every song on Jupiter, although Im still finding myself skipping over a few tracks on Mars...

keep listening.

It has been worth the cash though hasnt it?

[Markus Asraelius]

This album is a different kind of album. It has many, many styles on it. Not necessarily something you can put in and listen to all the way through, both discs but something where I could find something to fit my mood no matter what. Meaning a different song fills a different mood.

It'll take me awhile to have my review but it will definitely be a positive one.

[Butch Français]

the only song I tend to skip is "If" but it's still a good song! hell, I can't describe how satisfied I am with this album!

[Markus Asraelius]

I don't mean this as an insult but I usually play "If" when I want to go to sleep. It just has that quietness to it.
