Mar 28, 2012I was very surprised at how much I actually enjoyed this album. The Red Hot Chili Peppers sound both very funky, yet very mature also. All In All, I thought it was a pretty great record. B+

Oct 15, 2011i love this new sound. the album has many flaws but it has many strengths including there new guitarist who is superb at his instrument and fleas lines are very much so amazing

Mar 11, 2012The Red Hot might have changed their style, but they still show that they know what they are doing. For all the veteran fans it might take a while to get used to it but it's definitely a great disc

Sep 2, 2011This is the worst piece of crap the band has put out in over 15 years. They lack their usual strong tempo without John Frusciante and even Peppers purist should not be giving this crap high marks. Not one hit on the entire CD.

Sep 20, 2011I wanted to listen to this, wasn't hoping for any surprises though...Then, in a nutshell: I'm shocked they're still around and wonder the existence of this album. Being now in my 20s, I can barely imagine myself enjoying this even if I was 14. This is all sorts of crap, RHCP simply have nothing more to show us. Face the facts.

Nov 11, 2011Great album, not their best but if they put it out before BSSM it would have put them on the map for sure.
Even You Brutus? is the best song on the album
Goodbye Hooray is the second best
Look around is a close third
Brendan's Death Song, Ethiopia, and Police Station are other great songs (Police Station is probably my favorite of all of the songs it just speaks to my soul) -

Sep 28, 2011It has been roughly five years since the last time there was a Red Hot Chili Peppers song playing on the car radio as people drove into school. It has been five long years since the Chiliâ

Sep 4, 2011The tenth studio album from Red hot Chili Peppers has a change of sound from the previous record. The song go for a more of a radio-friendly way, even thought the track are done good, expect for "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie". This record shows a change to the Chili Peppers' sound in a unique way, even though it has it's flaws.

Sep 1, 2011i just want to say that i cried in some tracks the first time i listened the album, in fact i cried to hours ago listening police station, i really love the album its a freash air to your face and josh vocals are amazing.

Nov 15, 2012No one should have expected "I'm with You" to be anything but a comfort piece much like the title suggests. It works that way; even with several tracks that stumble greatly, it's comforting to the fans, a sweet middle ground between old-school and oh-s**t-I-guess-we're-here-now.

Sep 29, 2011One of my favorite bands growing up as a kid but this album proves they had their time and are done. Gone is the magic that John Fruciante provided. The lyrics on this album are pointless and one step too far in proving how they are no longer relevant in music. Shrimp just became a fan 5 years ago. Too bad he is a poser.

Dec 7, 2011With the departure of Frusciante this album does not disapoint, sure there are small differences and some quirky songs but all together its pretty good. There are a lot of awesome bass lines. Some of the lyrics seem a little off compared to other chili peppers songs.

Feb 12, 2012I'm with you is one of the best (that's saying something) red hot chili peppers albums, every song is amazing except from dance, dance, dance which is still good anyway. the best song on the album is even you Brutus, it could be my favorite song of all time, it is in my top 5 red hot chili peppers songs!

Jun 14, 2013Huge RHCP fan...I really wanted to like this album, but their music just lost their heart and soul after Frusciante left.; Anthony Kiedis is the only thing keeping this album afloat. Only songs I could really get into were Rain Dance Maggie and Ethiopia

Nov 15, 2013One of the most underrated albums of all time. Although a few decent tracks are in the first half of the album, the majority includes superb ballads that come from Kiedis' personal experiences. Meet Me at the Corner is beautiful and Rain Dance Maggie has one of the best grooves the band has ever written.
-
Apr 15, 2015A solid album and the usual high quality musicianship, all be it the Chilli's inevitably missing Frusciante on guitar. The album is smooth and robust but lacking Sparks and the usual charisma one has come to expect. Don't be mistaken, this is not a poor album but neither is it great.
-
Jun 15, 2016Overall, it is a good album. Surely, they've changed a lot and that's good. Here you can listen to a more instrumental band with Flea taking the main role in most of the songs. Best songs: Brenda's Death Song, The Adventure of Rain Dance Maggie, Police Station and Dance,Dance,Dance.

Dec 2, 2016I'm gonna keep this short and to the point, as I don't have much to say. This album is very decent. It has some of my favorite RHCP songs like 'The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie' and 'Brendan's Death Song', but it also has some weak guitar work on several tracks, the album is lacking in good guitar work, but is overall rather solid.
-
Dec 21, 2016Bad job. No soul, no heart. Cold and buroucratic, It have some few good moments, like MEET ME AT CORNER, GOODBYE HOORAY and Monarchy of roses. But even this goods tracks was not near to the classics songs from by the way and californication. If they change some songs and use some b-sides like OPEN/CLOSE this album could be better....
-
Oct 3, 2017Although not as musically diversified as the band's other work, "I'm With You" can still get a message across. Basslines are the technical highlights and make this album a good stuff to listen.

May 11, 2019Two years after the departure of the great John Frusciante and five after their Grammy winner "Stadium Arcadium", the Chilis appeared with a record that, in the first listening, could be taken as insufficient. But I think is a nice collection of songs and a good effort. The singles "Raindance Maggie" and "Monarchy of Roses" are the top tracks on this one imo.

Oct 9, 2012Throughout, Klinghoffer never takes over like Dave Navarro did with One Hot Minute, but he's not knocking down any doors, either.

Sep 21, 2011New axe-slinger or not, I'm With You is a given for this band--at least four songs too long and Rick Rubin's nonchalance leaves everything sounding precisely and consistently the same.
