    It´s indeed a great album. At first it´s hard to digest all the 28 tracks but give it time and try to listen to just one of the cd´s at a time, and you´ll begin to apreciate each one of the songs and their unique qualities. Frusciante again provides some bitching melodies and killer solos, usually in two or more tracks at the same time, which makes me wonder how It´s indeed a great album.

There are very few weak links, and even songs i disliked at first have grown on me. It is better than by the way , IMO. But well , buy it and at least give it a chance , and please dont expect a retread on their funk past, even though there are funky numbers , its mainly pop - rock and rock ballads in californication/ by the way style.… Expand

    Everyone here is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Lukewarm Chili Peppers are sooo much worse than Elvis, the Beatles, the Eagles, and all those other legends. Anyone who says different is obviuosly smoking Sharpies. Chili Peppers suck, and I'm ashamed that they're rock.

    After hearing the album many times, I can say with proud: Its the best RHCP Album ever. Flea has right with this comment, too. And when I read all the bad critics, then I have to say, listen to the album and then write again

    This album is so fucking good. Not only has it brought the funk back, it is intelligent as it is dirty. "She's Only 18"? Aw, man. That is one sweet track.

    If the best 10-11 tracks from this album were condensced onto a single record the result would be fairly great.

    Stadium Arcadium ensures that graying Lollapalooza-era fans, indie teens, and rowdy lunkheads will all be satisfied.

    Frusciante's guitar work... almost single-handedly saves the project, but not quite.
