KostasAug 29, 2006It's amazing to see an album of this quality rise from so many years of releases... some of which i'm sure most will agree were average at best.

BaironAug 29, 2006Best album ever.

CoxAug 29, 2006The lyrics are amazing. They are meaningful, fun, sometimes random (not often though) Anthony Kiedis is the best. The Red Hot Chili Peppers couldn't have a better guy for the singing.

FleaFleaFleaAug 29, 2006Flea what a guy?Flea is one of the best bassists around in the history of music and he can play the bass so well that it is just amazing and if you want like really good bass look up Red Hot Chili Peppers for bass tabs.

JonasWFeb 19, 2007I'd rather hit myself in the head with a brick, while listening to the Paris Hilton CD than listen to this album.

NathanDFeb 21, 2007Don't get me wring I am a huge chilli peppers fan, but this is there worst work ever. I miss what the the chili peppers really stood for FUNK. It seems that they are try to turn way to main stream and it made the album not that satisfatory. even togh this album doesnt have the funk i want there was still some but not eniugh. I wish they would make another BSSM

jiggapleaseApr 22, 2007it's decent. it doesn't feel like chili peppers to me...i love all their work, but this is just mediocre for me

LucasW.Feb 16, 2008Great in techinical ability by john and flea, but the lyrics and the overall feel is way too commercial and unadventerous. But still somewhat pleasent to listen to.
-
-
JakeMay 11, 2008I really like the RHCPs but this Album is not as good as it could have been. There are songs that i really like (Snow, Storm in a Teacup, Readymade) but on their other records I liked every single song. If they had thrown out half of the songs and this record would be great. Like this it's just above avarage.
-
-
PatS.Sep 23, 2008Easily one of the Peppers' poorest releases. Decent tunes comprise the album but haphazard vocal phrasing and redundancies are all too populous. Skip this one and replay Californication for the best of new Peppers.

BrunoS.Mar 11, 2009It's great! For sure, Stadium Arcadium is one of the best albums from Red Hot Chili Peppers.

fabiangDec 26, 2006Best Band Ever

AEOlsonDec 29, 2006It suffers from double album syndrome, it's not all that innovative, and the Peppers can be predictable at times. All that said, theres a lot of good songs between the two discs and it's a solid release, just not "album of the year."
-
-
MikeDec 31, 2006What an excellent album!!! All of the tracks have something in them! Get this Album!!!

Oct 25, 2010It just seems like they wasted the chance to make a very listenable album. There are a dozen cuts that offer nothing to Stadium Arcadium except to blow out its running time. I know, my complaints are hardly original, but I'd just love to know what they were thinking. Also, anybody who says they can listen to this whole album without feeling the slightest bit bored or sleepy is seriously lying.
-
Dec 29, 2010Don't get me wrong, I like the Chili Peppers, but Stadium Arcadium is just alright at best. Some of the songs were great, but some failed to live up to expectations. The only thing that really saved the album was John Frusciante's guitar and Flea's bass. Other than that, most of the album sounds like it could have been an outtake from By the Way or Californication.

Oct 21, 2012It's psychedelic, bass-slappin' magic on "Arcadium", a Chili Peppers album that highlights the band's instrumental talents, but unfortunately also highlights Kiedis' degrading skills as a lyricist.
-
May 20, 2012Stadium arcadium is an awesome album, it's the best red hot chili peppers album ever! The first disk is probably better than the second disk. Disk 1: 11/10. Disk 2: 10/10. Overall as an album: 10/10. If you like red hot chili peppers, either get this album or listen to it!
-
Mar 15, 2012Their best album up to date. A total masterpiece. It will be really hard for them to make another disc as good as this one. This is the reason i fell in love with RHCP

Jul 15, 2013An underrated album for sure. Although not every song on the album is perfect (or at all good), it makes up for it with amazing and memorable songs which are sure to become some of your favourites.

Sep 25, 2014Superb from Dani California to Hey, Stadium Arcadium is one of the (if no the) best album that RHCP ever made, with creative lyrics combined with a great funky rhythm, Stadium Arcadium is an easy 9/10 album.
-
Dec 30, 201328 Tracks, they got the quality and the quantity. I like the album because every one ine the band is in a good situation, no hard drugs or other. And I felt that because of that the produced an album of great quality.
-
Sep 29, 2014Stadium Arcadium is the Red Hot Chili Peppers essence, snatching everything with critical, sexual and descriptive lycris from our lovely California, the funky lords, the funky legends, the funky heroes, Red Hot Chili Peppers just won me, again, masterpiece album.

Apr 15, 2021The band's most ambitious album, that perfectly captures a similar energy to that of the band's live performances, as well as their eclectic nature. Truly, a masterwork.
-
Aug 20, 2016This is the album that got me into rock music and to playing guitar! The guitar is incredible here as well as the song writing . The songs that standout to me were Readymade, Snow, Wet Sand, Turn it Again, Dani California and Torture Me. Not a single song I didn't enjoy!
-
Mar 26, 2017I can imagine that the release of a 28-song album would've got Red Hot Chili Peppers fans absolutely hyped. Despite there being so many songs, the album is surprisingly consistent. Very impressive as a whole!
-
Oct 3, 2017I love both Mars and Jupiter. RHCP is always creative in the compositions, however this album evidences this in a very special way that changed my life.
-
Oct 12, 2018Idk, it's okay. Most of the tracks are fine but some are just boring. There are some good highlights though like the opening Snow (Hey Oh) and Dani California. This is the only RHCP album I've heard so far so idk if they have any better ones

Nov 3, 2019Best RHCP album. Solid. Funky. Senseful. Dancelicious. Only true fans know this and it is obvious why...
-
Mar 8, 2020I can thank my thesis to this album, I was listening to these tracks back the way when I wrote it. RHCP simply one of the best bands nowadays.

Jan 25, 2022Really one of the best RHCP's album. Stadium Arcadium made me want to learn the guitar, and the getaway made me continue my progression ! just hoping that Frusciante's come back album will be as good as this one
Awards & Rankings
-
Stadium Arcadium ensures that graying Lollapalooza-era fans, indie teens, and rowdy lunkheads will all be satisfied.
-
Somewhere along the line the Chilis got sophisticated on our asses.
-
Frusciante's guitar work... almost single-handedly saves the project, but not quite.
