Title: RHCP - "Stadium Arcadium"
Post by: JRauch on May 21, 2006, 02:54:56 AM
Does anyone have it? How is it? Because Iīm still not sure if I should buy it, especially after I read so many mixed reviews. The first single, "Dani California", is really great imo, so if the rest of the album is as good...

Just give me some more opinions.

I got it, I liked some of the funkier songs. I dont like their epic love ballads. The 2nd cd was a disappointment. They said it was suppose to be a psychadelic themed cd and its just the same as the first disc.

id say 'sample' it before you make the purchase..

This albums made me realize the only person in RGCP worth a damn is John Fruciante.  Anthony Keidis writes some of his worst lyrics ever and Flea pumps out the cliche funk songs.  If they would have put this out in 99 instead of Californication we would have forgotten all about them by now.  I know that's harsh, but having bought it on the same day as the new Neil Young it makes me realize how great Neil is and how overrated these guys are.

Ok, guys. I borrowed it from a friend and made a single-disc-best-of out of it. Nothing groundbreaking on that album, but a nice listen for summer days.

Btw, I donīt really care if the song is stolen. Itīs still good music, and the guitar-solo at the end still rocks my socks off.

The fact that the song was stolen. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and on the off-chance I would've found hilarity in yours I wouldn't've said it; that would be mean.
