Maturing gracefully, while keeping the fun
I don't understand all this talk about the Red Hots "putting down their guns", "hanging their mitts" .. and so on. It's like people are expecting a band to do the same thing for 23 years and produce the same type of music, ignoring the fact that bands and musicians like the rest of us, evolve, mature, change.. etc, the point is few bands do it as gracefully and as fantastically as the Red Hots. Sure some songs sound a little bit more tame "Hard to Concentrate", others sound a little bit more Pop "Especially in Michigan", others more stadium or melodic .. but how many bands you know can deliver something like "Snow ((Hey Oh))". This songs bursts out right after the first single - "Dani California" - as if to challenge the current music scene to produce something that's even close in creativity and musicianship. Then how many bands you can think of can deliver a first grade first-nature funk like "Charlie", or "Hump De Bump", or "Storm in a Teacup". The Red Hots sure have moved in several new directions over the years, but they have managed to keep a large enough distance from anybody else doing the same type of thing, to remainsounding original. This is a band that knows how to feel, chill, go crazy and party in their songs, and this is the type of album Stadium Arcadium is. Buy it, it's unique, double albums rarely come this natural and unbloated.

Their BEST album yet!
I am a HUGE RHCP fan and so naturally i was very excited when they came out w/ a new cd and couldn't wait to get my hands on it! I wasn't disapointed when i first listened to this CD, it is TOTALLY AMAZING! There isn't a bad song on it and i simply can't keep it out of my CD player! All 28 songs are incredible and i cant praise them enough!

RHCP's Mixed Fortunes
It is with mixed feelings that I review 'Stadium Arcadium'. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are 2.5 decades old and are extreme legends of alternative rock - their style of alternative rock that is. They are the kings of funk, mixing rock with punk as they only can. This album came very much anticipated by all RHCP fans and faced a mixed critical critique by the critics and fans alike. Firstly before I dwelve into the two in one album let me state for the record that the Artwork of this album is the best original idea the band could come up with. I loved the cover and the inside of the package. The back cover could have had a better band photo. But A+ for thought into the cover, very expressive and artistic.

BUY IT!!
Are the Red Hot Chili Peppers the best of the alternative-rock bands? This reviewer (who generally thinks alternative rock is an evil corporate piece of crap) says yes. And this is a great way to get into the group, containing all the big songs (Give It Away, Under the Bridge, Suck My Kiss, Breaking the Girl, Californiacation, Scar Tissue, Higher Ground), although there is one big mistake this album makes: WHERE IS THE ZEPHYR SONG? It sure as hell was a hit - in fact, it was a big one. And I loved it, unlike most other big rock hits of 2002. I also would've appreciated Aeroplane, as well as some of the older stuff (Johnny Kick a Hole in the Sky, True Men Don't Kill Coyotes, especially Knock Me Down). But I highly recommend this album, as well as the classic rock and funk that influenced the Chili Peppers.

its chili peppers, so you know its good
however, its not what it could be. its missing some notable songs, including their biggest recent hit Can't Stop. it also has some fairly obscure 'hits' like Universally Speaking. however, it is a great album. although it may seem weird to consider the Red Hot Chili Peppers rock legends, they will be elligible for the rock and roll hall of fame in less than 3 years.

Editorial Review

For all his tattoos and bulked-up frat-boy persona, singer Bradley Nowell had real soul, which made his fatal heroin overdose even more tragic. There's more to this Long Beach, California, trio's debut, released shortly after Nowell's death in 1996, than white suburban punks imitating Jamaican ska music. The band comes up with great songs, notably the catchy MTV hit "What I Got"; spooky dub-reggae undertones, produced by the Butthole Surfers' Paul Leary, to go with the snappy horns; and surprisingly progressive lyrics that attack sexism and other social ills, especially on "Wrong Way." Like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Fishbone, obvious forebears, Sublime become slightly tiresome after 17 songs, but the band is great in short doses. Read more

Editorial Review

With valuable assistance from producer Rick Rubin, the Peppers find just the right blend of punk, funk, and hip-hop. Even with a running time of 74 minutes, this 1991 breakthrough has continuity and cohesion both within and across the 17 cuts. Riding Flea's surging bass, Anthony Kiedis delivers his explicit lyrics with a rapper's flair, extolling the virtues (and outlining the dangers) of sex and drugs. Plaintive ballads such as "Breaking the Girl," "I Could Have Lied," and the hit "Under the Bridge" give the album depth and provide contrast to the raw energy of "Mellowship Slinky in B Major," "Funky Monks," and "Give It Away." Rubin masterfully fuses John Frusciante's raunchy guitar with the irresistible grooves. Read more

The closest thing to "Modern Masterpiece" you're likely to hear
Yes this is a very good party album, Flea is an an awesome funk bassist and Anthony Kiedes' raps are great - I'm not a big rap fan, either! And I also love how the Chili Peps mix in some heavy guitars - being a fan of Hendrix, Cream, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, etc, I do like good headbanging music (though it's not all I like). And the ballads Breaking the Girl, I Could Have Lied and especially the smash Under the Bridge are all excellent - unlike most hard rock bands, these guys can cut great ballads! But the funk songs are the best - Give It Away is certainly the song most people think of when they think of the Chili Peppers. Great reason for that! Suck My Kiss sounds like a cross between AC/DC and Parliament; Power of Equality is a great rap/funk/social commentary thing, My Lovely Man is very emotional... yeah. But there are some fillers: The title track is sort of bleah, and the cover of Robert Johnson's They're Red Hot is more of a joke song than anything else. And both Funky Monks and Sir Psycho Sexy, while good, go on a bit longer than usual. Still it's a solid album, and if you're a rock fan, be it classic, alternative or other, this should be in your collection. Generally I detest alternative rock, but this is an exception - the Chilis are certainly the best band to form in the past 20 years.

One of the best rock albums of the last 20 years
In the summer of 2005, Spin magazine released a list of the top 100 albums from 1985-2005, and somehow they left this album off the list.I was pretty apalled.
My girl's insane, but it's alright
This is an all-time great.One for the time capsule.There might not be such a FUN album out there.Besides a melancholy song or two (the beautiful "Under the Bridge" and "I Could Have Lied"), this album is jam-packed with funky, creative, witty songs.

Buy Them A Star On The Boulevard...
Most people who bought this CD probably did so because they wanted the title track.That's no surprise, because it's the best track on here lyrically.I love some of those lines..."Space may be the final frontier, but it's made in a Hollywood basement...""Buy me a star on the boulevard it's californication"
YES!
Any music you can describe is probably not worth listening to.This is indescribable.It doesn't come out of anything but the band's Jam.I've been waiting for many years for some geat Rock.Thank you, RHCP!

Editorial Review

Ska music has been deeply ingrained in the punk rock culture since the Clash adopted their rude boy stance near the end of the British punk invasion and the 2-Tone label put ska on the map. Suddenly, punks stopped kicking the crap out of each other long enough to dance. The debut release by Orange County, California's Sublime is a positively infectious record that marries varied styles of dub, reggae, rap, sampling, scratching, and badass dancehall ska with old-school punk overtones. Musicianship on this record is exceptionally tight, featuring Brad Nowell's innovative guitar work and bright, soulful voice.Packed with 40 oz. of rock (21 tracks) including the ultimate pot-smoking anthem "Smoke Two Joints" and the novelty hit "Date Rape."

Masterpiece.
Amazing. I got this for Christmas a few years back and I was sad that it wasn't in my CD player earlier. I was a bit taken back by the first song but once I got into the rest of the disc I had absolutely nothing negative to say. it's incredible right up to the end where brad thanks everyone. i still enjoy just listening to him name drop with a catchy beat in the background. it's a complete shame he died because i'd pay any amount of money to hear these songs genuinely played by sublime. This disc has fast thrash, to slow easy chillin tunes with amazing bass, to almost rap like lyrical songs. if you don't have this CD yet i suggest you take a listen.

40oz.ofSublime
this album rules!! sublime rules!!! this and their self-titled albums are their best. too bad that brad died right when they were beginning to take over the world. if you don't have this you need to get this. i have the version with the two later deleted tracks ''rawhide'' and ''get out!'' and i have the version without those 2 tracks and more artwork. both versions are great. Sublime forever!!!

This, right here, is "Sublime Gold"
The production on this album bothered me for the longest time but this is truly a timeless classic. I don't know how many people realize that Sublime were the real deal. Up until their self-titled album, they were always under produced and best represented live. This music has so much heart though, it is unbelievable. There are more self-proclaimed singles on this CD than there are on the bands self-titled effort. A lot of these songs never saw the "light" we call radio, but songs like 40oz. To Freedom, Smoke To Joints, We're Only Gonna Die For Our Arrogance, Don't Push, 5446, Badfish, and basically the rest of the CD, are all great tunes. Artists like Bob Marley are receiving a lot of attention lately, and it seems to be a trend. Sublime is getting a lot of attention too, and it's okay. Sublime was a band that pioneered a sound. And, during the 90s, they were an out to all the grunge that dominated the era. This is also the only album I hear so many people complaining that they have worn out. Like that's a bad thing. ...

Editorial Review

When the Red Hot Chili Peppers first appeared smeared in neon body paint with socks dangling precariously from their wieners, even the most faithful funk-metal convert couldn't have conceived they would be around some 20 years later, carrying on in much the same fashion. Despite a long history of tragedies and personnel upheavals, the California quartet's eighth album is mostly business as usual--and business, as usual, is quite good. The title track, "By the Way," is a powerful, bruised piece of slap-bass and intermediary white-boy rapping. "Universally Speaking" pays sweaty, soulful tribute to singer Anthony Kiedis's hometown of Detroit. And "Lemon Trees on Mercury" sounds eerily like it could have been lifted from 1984's Read more

different, but still EXTREMELY GOOD.
I just purchased this cd and I'm a big fan of the Chili Peppers.I've been buying there cd's since I was 8, but in no particular order, so i haven't really witnessed the gradual change in their style, but now I see it.The difference in sound between By The Way and Blood Sugar Sex Magic is big, but it's still fantastic music.In By The Way, there's almost no "funk"-type music that the Chili Peppers made in their early days.By The Way contains a more alternative rock-type sound overall, which is by no means a bad thing- RHCP can pull off both sounds.I LOVE this album. It really shows you their artistic ability to change their sound a little but still stay true to themselves.If I could I'd give this album 6 stars.

Great album
When I first listened to this cd I was very disappointed. I had recently become a fan with Californication and at that time I had also bought Blood Sugar Sex Magik (I have all their albums now). So I listened to the opening track, By the Way, and liked it a lot. But the rest of the songs were too poppy for me. I was very sad and I thought that the energy from their previous albums was now completely gone. A few days passed and I decided to give it another chance. I picked a song at random and it turned out to be "On Mercury". I loved it. I couldn't believe I hadn't liked it the first time. And so I decided to listen to the whole album again, and while I didn't like all of the songs, I did start to appreciate them a little more. It took me a little time but I ended up loving this album. I now have it as one of my personal favorites and I now realize that their energy wasn't gone at all, but it had just transformed into something new, while keeping its beauty. Buy it if you have an open mind and desire to listen to truly great and profound music.

Clearly the Best...
I absolutely love the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and this by far is their best album.

With deeper listens...
....I have found that Incubus' masterpiece "Make Yourself" is much more of an obscure Progressive Metal album than a Nu-Metal album. Take some deep listens into this album, and you will see that the musical progression of each song fits perfectly into the moniker of Progressive Metal,with a lot of funk, Hip Hop and Nu-Metal tossed into the mix. Each song progresses with perfection and every note played is placed in just right. Even Brandon Boyd's amazing vocals are progressive, as is the concept of the album, which is making yourself out of your own ideas, thoughts and beliefs, not letting the Government, Authorities and the world shape what you believe and feel. One of Incubus' Best
Here's some 1999 Incubus. This is the album that helped make the band a lot better known to the public. Their singles "Pardon Me" and "Drive" were the ones that got them on the radio and on MTV. At one point "Make Yourself" was my favorite by the band but that changed as soon as I discovered "S.C.I.E.N.C.E.". I still love this album and it's one of the best albums that I own in my collection. "Make Yourself" in my opinion is probably Incubus' second best album. Again as with S.C.I.E.N.C.E. it has so much variety to it. I love every moment of this album. My favorite tracks are probably "Pardon Me", "When It Comes", "Nowhere Fast", and "Clean". Here are my track ratings...
Boring

Editorial Review

More prolific than D'Angelo and Terence Trent D'Arby combined, one-man rock & soul revivalist Lenny Kravitz kept traditional pop values alive through much of the '90s. From the Motown-perfect "It Ain't Over Til It's Over" to the Beatlesesque "Let Love Rule," Kravitz has always inhabited his influences with a genuine spirit that transcends imitation. The 15 tracks found here provide a surprisingly coherent reminder of just how much the artist has accomplished in a relatively short time. And even if his biggest hit, "Are You Gonna Go My Way," falls short of its Hendrix target, Kravitz's cover of the Guess Who's "American Woman" still rocks in a pleasingly Neanderthal way. An infectious new cut, "Again," fits neatly alongside sturdy Kravitz originals such as "Fly Away," "Mr. Cab Driver," and "Black Velveteen," showcasing a talent whose postmodern pop should play well into the new century.

As Good as a Greatest Hits Collection Gets
In the mid 1990s, I heard a concert promotion radio ad that was basically introducing the performer to be "The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Star".When they announced that star to be Lenny Kravitz, I must admit, I nearly drove off the road when I heard that.I had realized Kravitz had some commercial success and had a nice following, but "World's Greatest Rock and Roll Star"?- Come On!However, now about a decade later, as I have begun to get a deeper appreciation for what Rock music has to offer, I now realize that perhaps there is some real merit to that radio ad.I'm still not ready to put Kravitz up there with the upper echelon of Rock with the Paul McCartneys, the Rolling Stones,Bruce Springsteens, or even Billy Joels - however, it is safe to say that Kravitz could easily be one of the great revelations of the 1990s and has lived completely up to expectations as he has entered the 2000s.In 2000, Kravitz amassed enough material and success to release his first Greatest Hits album. This collection, "Lenny Kravitz Greatest Hits" provides some a great cross-section into Kravitz's musical career and is a great place to start if you are interested in checking out Kravtiz's material.
Good Place to Start People!!!!!
I had this album for quite some time and thought to myself that I should finally place my input on this. I had met Lenny Kravitz in the Bahamas ten years ago during the Christmas holiday and it was great to shake his hands. We are lucky to be alive to hear the work of this man. He's one of these artists' that are out there who puts so much of what is lacking in performance of contemporary sound and that is FEELING. It blows my mind the criticism he's received accusing him of robbing the stylistic graves of his idols - excuse me? So do hundreds of other artists who can't even hold a candle in tribute no matter how hard their effort or sincerity. THIS is a man who takes whatever influences and MAKES THEM HIS OWN. I have no problem whatsoever picking out a riff or musical inflection out of any of his works in recognition of his predecessors. He writes, produces, and most impressive plays almost all instruments on his recordings.Like back in the 70's, where there were numerous groups with plenty of organic vibes.
Excelent Compilation
If you don't have any Kravitz record, just purchase this item and you know who is he.

I'm giving this album about 3 1/2 out of 5. It's a good, solid album.

I wholeheartedly hate this band.Never liked it, never again will.This album is something else.It's loveable.It kicks.It does not sound as the usual "same song in all their recordings" syndrome that they suffer.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers most explosive work
Before John Frusciante returned in 1998 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers since then have devoted themselves to mid-tempo rock, rock minimalism, and pop ballads, the 1995 album One Hot Minute, their only with Dave Navarro at guitar, will remain as the band's most aggressive, poignant, and creative record and the last in-your-face, take-no-prisoners album they will most likely ever release.

Almost perfection..but bogged down bya dying style...
Judging by their latest release "A Murder of Crows", Incubus have ditched their funk/Nu-Metal/Progressive/Poppish style for a more straight forward rock sound. And for good reason. The moniker genre they were usually placed under has long since died out, and the remaining bands that attempt to release material even remotely close to Nu-Metal usually replicate the Nu-metal bands that came before them. Lets face it, Nu-Metal is dead, and it never really was that great to begin with. Incubus was one of the few great bands that incorporated Hip Hop/Funk/Metal/Jazz and a DJ all in one package. Bottom Line: Great Music
Incubus just knows how to make good music. Even though Morning View is not another SCIENCE, its a great album. And I don't know how you can call this album soft. Sure its not has hard or fast as old incubus, but its not soft. Morning View is a more upbeat uplifting album, but it does have some heavy and hard rifts in it. The lyrics sound great as well, and it has some addictive hooks in it.
Critically, Id consider this their best release to date.
I discovered incubus one night in 1999 or so, just before Make Yourself was released. I heard "Pardon Me" on the radio and i was hooked. Two years later, Morning View is released. By then, i was already familiar with their songs and was eager to see how they had evolved/built upon their earlier work. Lemme tell ya, this record did not dissapoint. Incubus has a knack for evolving with each cd they release. I say "evolve" rather than "change," because it is extremely graceful rather than forced.

Good Time Boys
This is the album that introduced me to the Red Hot Chili Peppers. And I can tell you, it totally blew me away! From the album cover, to its mix of punk, funk, rap and rock, to four guys dancing around the stage in their underwear, it was like nothing I'd seen or ever heard before. Along with Blood Sugar Sex Magik, this was to define who I am today.I grew up listening to songs on this record, and today, 16 years later, they still mean as much to me as they did back then.
The Chili Peppers at their meanest
In 1989, the newly reformed Red Hot Chili Peppers rose from the crippling tragic death of band-founding guitarist and longtime friend Hillel Slovak to release Mother's Milk, the first album to feature guitar wizard John Frusciante and drum demon Chad Smith. The result was their first taste of commercial success, a muscular, metallic fusion of funk, rap and rock.

i think i convey the feelings of millions of fans around the world that this has too be one of the best damn albums the chili and the music business has released..man it's so funky i want to shake my booty to flea's bass lines alone let alone john frusicante's guitar riffs..and MR anthony kiedis's hillarous and some heart hitting lyrics..[plus chad smith's agressive beats]

Worst of Papa Roach
I was probably more excited than anyone when waiting for this album to come out. And I have to admit a couple tracks like getting away with murder were really good. But i could only name about 5 tracks that i really enjoyed, though they were really good. What i also noticed was that the few tracks that i did like were the songs that were true to papa roach's unique style which were present all of papa roach's previous songs. The rest of the songs on this album seem inspired by emo and you could tell they finally conformed to modern rock. There are many other bands that sound like that and there is really nothing special about it, it just makes the album seem boring because they sound like everyone else. It is easy to see why Papa Roach conformed to modern rock because of the failure of their last album "love hate tragedy" (which i thought was a fantastic album). By doing so they opened up to an larger audience (like teenage - 13 year old girls) with hit songs like "scars". This album went platinum so i guess they accomplished their goal. I'm just sad they had to sacrifice what made them unique and brought great music. Jacoby says the next album will go back to more straightforward rock and will be less emo influenced. Hopefully we'll see the return of the true papa roach. I still listen to this album, though i skip through only to listen to "blood", "not listening", "getting away with murder", and "tyrrany normality" - which are the only ones i like, and some remind me of old papa roach.

deserves 0 stars
this lp is...these guys are clowns with tatoos and cool haircuts.that's all.dolls with guitars.lovehatetragedy....naaah,I think its just HATE and TRAGEDY.by far "Getting Away.." is worsest thing i've ever heard till now(18 visions upcomin lp "18 vis" will take a lead,I'm sure).dont buy it!all filler,no killer:))

a great change
in the case of sellout i think papa roach defends themselves pretty well with this album. in the death of rap metal, i believe they started losing their fan base and they were starting to become a band that was remembered by "cut my life into pieces." Love Hate Tragedy was horrible and nowhere close to Infest so... they give us this and it is a very well put together cd. more catchy, more melodic plus they have shown us how well rounded they really are. if you are a papa roach fan and are scared to buy this because of the change.. i say go for it. it might suprise you. ...

I don't know why people have knocked this band and this album!?Les Claypool and Tim Alexander are two of the most gifted and innovative musicians EVER. You people think Neil Peart is the s**t, try listening to Tim Alexander's PERFECT drumming......WAKE UP AND SMELL THE CHEESE!

Yeah, yeah, they're talented. We all know that.
When I first heard Primus, I was shocked by the originality of it. I'm very interested in punk and 80's hardcore, and I was shocked by how chaotic these guys were without having to play at breakneck speed. Yet, beneath all of the chaos lies great talent and in some cases great meaning to the songs.

One word, Genius.
This album is pure genius. The blend of music that this album has is simply out of this world. To here the totally different contrasts on the album, listen to the funk "Falling to Pieces" and to the metal and darkness of "The Real Thing". This truly a masterpiece of an album. If you like music, i recommend this album. One of the best of all time and CERTAINLY FOM's best.

He says Led Zeppelins Zoso album, Panteras Far Beyond Driven, and Alice in Chains Dirt are all "lacking" and terrible. Dont listen to what he says, hes obviously "lacking" in the mental department, as he is clearly mentally retarded.
Inarguable musicianship.
I urge you to disregard D.R. Hayes' review below. I checked out his profile. He gave Led Zeppelin IV 1 out of 5 stars, citing that Black Dog is annoying and Rock and Roll "falls flat in the second half." Wha??????????????? He then compliments Going to California.
