Written on September 1, 2007 Summary: Jupiter is better then Mars I enjoy alot of the Chilli Peppers new songs I been a fan of Blood Sugar and there new hits for California Cation. These new cds are pretty good Mars isnt bad but I must admit I love Jupiter 10 fold.  Written on September 1, 2007 Summary: Red Hot Chili Peppers at their best I have loved the Chili Peppers for a long time. This album is a great addition to their discography. With 28 songs on a two cd set there is variety of great tunes to jam by. Written on August 28, 2007 Summary: Chilis at their BEST! I love, LOVe, LOVE this CD. This CD is a bargain for the awesome music you get! The Red Hot Chilis are at their best! Written on August 28, 2007 Summary: One of their strongest efforts, wich is saying something. I gotta give them my props for this one. They manage to make a two-hour double-album seem, for the most part, ludicrously entertaining. I might even go as far as calling it their best record. It's a toss-up between this and Californication. I mean, it's a bit too long - four or five songs could've been taken off ("Charlie" is dumb other than the chorus; "C'mon Girl" is one of the most boring things I've ever heard; "Hard to Concentrate" is hard to concentrate on; "Make You Feel Better" seems like a cut-rate Californication track; "We Believe" is just way over-the-top), but there are two piles of excellent songs here. In pile #1, we've got the funk-rock stuff: "Dani California", the leadoff single, has great lyrics, sweet beats, booty-shakin' bass line, and John Frusciante doing cool stuff with his guitar. This is also one of the four songs to participate in my four-way mud wrestling match to the death. The prize? The award of best song on the album! "Hump de Bump" is as cool as its title suggests; the chorus owns ("Hump de bump you gotta hump de bump your body..."), and Flea shines on both bass and trumpet! The lyrics aren't much: like so much of their work, it's about making out, but the music is so solid it also one of the four Texas Cage Match to the knockout... for BEST SONG ON THIS ALBUM! On "Especially in Michigan" and "Storm in a Teacup", they put the Beastie Boys to shame as far as funk-rock-rap goes; "Readymade" and "So Much I" have cooooool guitar solos. Now, for the ballad pile. I think "Snow (Hey Oh)" would come out first in my frequently aforementioned four-way monster truck rally to the totaling of your car; that guitar-riff near the beginning is just beautiful; the introspective lyrics are wonderful; the chorus is one of their best; and I love the coda! And the video! Anthony Kiedis proves that he is the coolest guy on Earth not named Flea (who has more tattoos than should be legal), and Flea himself jumps on the bass drum! Sweet! The title song is also pretty catchy, with arguably the best melody on the album. And "Slow Cheetah" earns a place in the four-way gun battle to the nosebleed as well. It's a total dark horse, but I really love how the song builds on itself. And the fake ending - I like fake endings. Especially since the fake ending is a sparkling, neo-Hendrixian guitar solo. I'm all for one of those. Actually, I'm all for as many of those as I can hear. "Hey" has some of the group's most mature lyrics to date. "Desecration Smile"; "Tell Me Baby"; and "She Looks to Me" bridge both genres, and the first and last are fantastic; I only really like the second because of the refrain - as usual. Hey, they know how to stick lasting hooks in their songs. I'm not gonna complain! I like hooks. Just as long as creativity isn't sacrificed for them. And "Death of a Martian" sure does mix creativity with hooks: bizarrely arranged, with a weird voice-over part, but really catchy. And then there are several tracks which are good, though not fantastic: if you can get over the slight "ew" factor of "She's Only 18" (it's a bunch of middle-aged men singing about gettin' down with an 18-year-old), or the fact that it's a lot like "Hey 19", you'll find it's good; if you can recover from its insipid lyrics, you'll find "Torture Me" is rewarding; if you can get over the fact that it repeats the same guitar lick for a minute, you'll probably like "Turn it Again", and "If" is so cute I have to give it credit. So yeah. Cool album, this one. Maybe not their best. But it easily could be. I'm glad I bought this one, and it took me way too long to pick it up - I bought it about 10 months after it came out. This is off-subject, but I have reason to believe that a user has been digging through my reviews and randomly voting them "not helpful". Whoever you are, I invite you to drop a comment on this review explaining yourself. Perhaps we can reach an agreement. If this isn't the case, and I'm just being paranoid, whatever. Written on August 6, 2007 Summary: Superb effort by 'Peps. I generally don't review stuff a whole lot unless it really moves me. And I definitely don't spend a ton of time analyzing it to death and writing a tome on it. Simply put, this was the best album I ran across in 2006 and I've yet to find something that knocks it off my Ipod yet in 2007. I have never been a mega-fan of RHCP although I like a lot of their stuff. This one is expecially fun because my teenage kids are simply stunned that Dad likes something that they like! Ha-ha, deal with it, chil'ren! |
