Red Hot Chili Peppers - Unlimited Love (April 1, 2022) • Page 6

y'all talk hot shit to me about oasis constantly, and they're actually talented. grow up lol

 

Anyone see that Stereogum review? Half of the people in this thread will be happy lol

 

Look I may hate the band but reviews don’t make me happy one way or another lol

 

Not me. I like Oasis

 

These singles sound like they didn’t even try. They had to know these songs were not good?

 

A lot of bad takes in this thread. There should be no denying this band has tons of talent overall.

 

sounds like “living rent-free in your head” is living rent-free in your head

 

why lol

 

i mean most of the reason i like them is they play really well together

 

i mean, i get your point, but so does coldplay. having cohesion as a group doesn’t necessarily mean you’re so talented that people can’t doubt the talent on an online forum haha

 

flea is incredibly talented. frusciante can make some very cool tones and fill out the song when he wants to, but everything i’ve heard from this seems like a RC Cola version of what he’s done in the past. i’m not crazy about chad but don’t want to open that up again. few vocalists that are less “talented” than kiedis

 

kiedis makes everything he touches way more dumb but i don’t care about that anymore, dumb things can be fun, and even though he is not a good singer in any way i’ve lived with his voice so long that i also never really register its awfulness. honestly arguably his horrible strained singing is part of what makes “breaking the girl” sound so desperate and great

interplay of this band is still special to me and not really comparable to like. coldplay. the telepathy with which their music turns on basically every record (doesn’t matter which guitarist) is what made going through their discography really rewarding. it’s not about how well each member plays (even tho flea is obv crazy) but how well they fit into each other. rock bands that have that sense of groove are actually very rare etc.

to everyone else itt watching me do this, sorry to expend any energy defending incredibly problematic band the red hot chili willies on chorus dot fm

 

really solid, accurate review of this record on pfork, sodomsky does it again

 

finally chad smith haters should listen to his drumming on one hot minute and shut up

 

couldn't pay me to listen to this band but he's very good at what he does

 

one hot minute is okay by their standards. navarro rules. if nothing else, smith never makes me think “huh this sucks,” which is better than a lot of drummers. it’s just kinda wallpaper that’s there.

 

my favourite part of a very bad band imo

 

Thanks for the reminders that this comes out tomorrow!

 

my admittedly insane ranking:

(theoretical 45ish-minute version of i'm with you with tracks from i'm beside you spliced in)
one hot minute
blood sugar sex magik
by the way
the uplift mofo party plan
mother's milk
i'm with you
freaky styley
stadium arcadium
californication
unlimited love
the getaway
red hot chili peppers

 

Going to need that theoretical I’m With You track list (as well as a dissertation about how that album is their overlooked masterpiece).

 

i think i have a better argument for one hot minute as an overlooked masterpiece, the i'm with you material just hits my pop-rock sensibilities directly

i'm workin' on that combined i'm with/beside you though

 

I'm With You came out during my most Chili Peppers vulnerable years and I quite like 5-6 tracks from it.

I also think The Getaway is underrated and possibly the only album of theirs I wouldn't immediately skip a song from anymore

 

the danger mouse production sinks the getaway for me. that and i find the elton appearance/interpolation unbearable lol. second half of that album is still really good

 

I'm With You is miles better than The Getaway, but I don't get the love for the I'm With You B-Sides........they are pretty meh for the most part.

I find the pre-Mothers Milk albums to be almost entirely unlistenable.
