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
-
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.

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.
-
Nov 3, 2019Best RHCP album. Solid. Funky. Senseful. Dancelicious. Only true fans know this and it is obvious why...
-
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
-
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.
-
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!
-
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!

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.
-
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.

Nov 15, 2013One of the greatest displays of guitar work ever. To me, the lyrics are way underrated and the long album is just what the Chilis needed. A great album for John to leave on.
-
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.

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.
-
Aug 7, 2012I don't care what anyone says, I hail this album as the best album of all time. It has so many songs on it and they all are great. Usually albums have 15-18 songs and 2,3 maybe 4 are good. Stadium Arcadium has 28 songs and they all are great.
-
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!
-
Apr 11, 2012If you took the best 12 or 13 songs from this sprawling double record, you'd still have a pretty dull, funk rock affair. There are half a dozen good songs, another half dozen average songs and over a dozen tracks that just act as filler. That's way too much filler by anyone's standards. Dani California is very good but very little to like apart from that.
-
Mar 31, 2012Stadium Arcadium is a musical triumph for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. it's their most creative album they've ever put out. Each track stands out. It's their best album to date and they probably will never make an album better than it. A
-
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
-
Feb 14, 2012I love the whole album, but the thing is, I love almost every other Red Hot Chili Peppers album more than this one. My go to songs are She's Only 18 and Wet Sand!

Apr 21, 2011Honestly, this is probably my favorite album of all time, coming from one of my favorite bands of all time.
Almost every song of the 28 is an instant classic to me. -
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 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.
-
FortuneFMar 29, 2009An incredible mix of musical styles, from some of the best melodic rock around in 'Slow Cheetah' and 'She Looks To Me' to rappin' hard hitting funk in 'Storm In a Teacup'. The only odd this about this album is that, aside from Dani California, they chose the worst songs to be singles.
-
-
jmMar 27, 2009One of the best albums ever made, every song is awesome. I have not found this album to be redundant at all, and on the contrary, has a variety of song styles. I have yet to meet anyone that dislikes this album.
-
-
BrunoS.Mar 11, 2009It's great! For sure, Stadium Arcadium is one of the best albums from Red Hot Chili Peppers.

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.
-
-
DebbieFJun 29, 2008My all time favorite album. Brilliant. Wet Sand, Stadium Arcadium, Slow Cheetah, Hey, Death of a Martian, etc love them all.
-
-
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.
-
-
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.
-
-
JiriV.Oct 26, 2007Well, if they came with this extensive album before their highlights, Californication and By The Way, I would not be that hard. Nevertheless this double is really booooring. Songs resemble each others like the songs on the latest albums by R.E.M. There are not good songs enough even for one album. Seems that "more more more" does not work, does it, R.E.M., Coldplay, SOAD and RHCP?
-
-
NadiaJul 31, 2007John Frusciante rules all. You will *never* hear guitar work as good as this. Cases in point: Readymade, Strip My Mind, Dani California, Tell Me Baby, Turn it Again.

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

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.

-
-
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."

MelvinBDec 1, 2006While some tracks take time to digest, after a couple of spins you will find that they're there for a reason. It's a rollercoaster ride through the higher states of consciousnes, finding a perfect balance between the excitement of the fall and the anticipation and extasy of the way up.

DyanOct 26, 2006In this album John plays some grand solos, Chad behind the drums does a good job here, Flea is pulling out bass line after bass line and Anthony's lyrics and vocals add to the great sound. Storm in a teacup is just fantastic and makes my day every time! It combines the old RHCP with that of recent records and in style. Buy it, dont miss out on this!Their Greatest Album.

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.
