This album has the only RHCP song that is acceptable, “otherside”. Therefore I deem it a three. No wait fuck that. It’s a 2

meanwhile there is me that is incapable of un-5ing this even though it is objectively dumb and bad



I just cant do that to 10 year old me. The world sucks so fucking much and he has no idea yet. Please just let him have this. He's a good boy I swear.

Even 10 year old me wouldn't have 5'd this lol.



However, By the Way holds a very special place in my heart and I couldn't view it negatively for the sake of the 13 year old kid who fell in love with it a long time ago.

The first half of this is dope. The second... let's not talk about the second.

This is some okay-ish mom rock. Literally everyone in this band is extremely overrated except for Chad Smith

i dont have any interest in this band anymore, but john frusciante is by far the most talented member as evidenced by his solo material which absolutely destroys any single chilis release.

yeah gdi this actually still rules. If i remove all nostalgia it's still pretty good. Even the nonsensical kiedes lyrics are kinda ok on this one for the most part. Maybe I'll just leave it as a 5. Probably more like a 3.5-4 but fk it.

Y'all see Rick Beato's interview with Flea? I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised hearing Flea speak. Fucked up history aside, the dude seems to have a true passion for music that started from the very beginning. Seeing his warmup exercises segue into some of his classic bass lines was fun to watch.



He also attempted to describe Kiedis's process of writing lyrics and it seemed to boil down to: Kiedis listens to our instrumentals and makes up words he thinks goes with the music. No attachment to meaning or symbolism, just words really.

I'm assuming the incredibly racist Chinese scatting Kiedis does on Around the World sort of gives that away, huh?
