Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Four-year career hiatuses followed by sprawling double-albums could spell trouble for a band of the Chili Peppers' stature: consider they'd originally recorded enough for three discs. The restless, trouble-plagued outfit that helped break alternative rock into the mainstream with a potent fusion of punk 'n' funk in the '80s finds itself two decades on almost completely devoid of the former's energetic abandon, while the latter's effusive rhythms are considerably subdued over the course of this two-hour, 28-track collection. It's not so much that the Peppers have lost their muscular, often uber-macho edge as they have willfully tamed it in service of mature reinvention here. The mellower, often introspective, if no less potent pop ethos that characterized the crossover hit "Under the Bridge" blossoms fully here on tracks like disc one's "Snow," "Wet Sand," and the jazz-cool of "Hey."

The title track, "Desecration Smile," and "She Looks To Me" finds them venturing further into laid back pop ballad territory, while the tricky rhythms of "Dani California," "Charlie," and "So Much I" eventually kick into familiar top gear on the pop-savvy "Tell Me Baby" and hip-hop seasoned "Storm in a Teacup." It's not that there's a paucity of musical adventure here ("If" and "Animal Bar" finds them wafting into Floydish neo-psychedelia while "Make You Feel Better" seems to channel no less than Joe Jackson) but that it's delivered with a subtlety--and dare we say it?--tasteful musical restraint that's a stark contrast to the band's early, overly overt nature. There's perhaps too much mid-tempo simmering and reflection going on; like most double-albums it could be focused into a much more compelling single disc. But that seems largely beside the Peppers' hooks-over-histrionics point here: an unlikely record to kick back to, and one that both challenges assumptions and eases the band into middle age with an oft languorous, if undeniably savory groove. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST ALBUM! 20 Mar 2009
Format:Audio CD
I was a huge Chilis fan before the release of Stadium Arcadium, although none of their albums ever felt truly strong all the way through. Stadium Arcadium seems to leave behind everything bad about these four Californians and keep only the good stuff. Textures range from thin (On the beautiful 'If') to extremely thick (John Frusciante's solo on 'Turn It Again'). Flea's basslines are addictive and beautiful for the whole album - he seems to have finally mastered lying neatly behind Frusciante whilst also showing off his immense technical prowess. Chad Smith's drumming is what it is - faultless; Frusciante's guitar work is not as technically bewildering as Steve Vai's or Joe Satriani's, but it is effortlessly easy to see beyond that into his genius. Finally, Anthony Kiedis' lyrics are occasionally dubious, frequently baffling, but perfect throughout.

If you have every other Chili's album, buy this.

If you have never heard the Chili's, buy this.

If you have never bought an album before, this is as good a place to start as any.

5.0 out of 5 stars Back and better than ever 4 May 2006
Format:Audio CD
The more you play it the better it gets. John Frusciante is just mind blowing these days, is there a better guitarist around today? Flea and Chad Smith rock as well as ever, and Anthony Keidis is a good singer at last!! Stand out tracks for me so far are the excellent Dani California, Hump De Bump which is toe tappingly fun, She's Only 18, Snow and Hard To Concentrate. Great stuff, can't wait to see them live again, Frusciante is king!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well... it's pretty damn good!! 6 May 2006
By Ricolas
Format:Audio CD
Ok, well it's a double album and of course theres always going to be problems with that. Having that many tracks theres always going to be stand-out songs and songs that you don't like very much. However out of the 28 songs on the album, all of them do sound very good.. so I think they've managed to pull it off!

Having this many songs has allowed them to really roam free with the amount of different styles of music on the album. Listen to all the songs and you'll find so many different influnces everywhere. Some songs sound like the old Chili's of the Mothers Milk era and others sound more like the modern chilis and some sound like something completely different entirely! And John has really gone to town on the guitar on this album. His more minimalistic style of guitar playing ont he last 2 albums (similar to his solo work) is still present but there is now some absolutely fantastic guitar solos!

I'll start with the 1st CD. Theres the obviously excelllent Dani California. This is then immediately followed up with the pop-tastic Snow (Hey Ho) which has a wonderful little guitar part by John and a very catchy chorus. Straight after this is the much more funky Charlie that really does sound a bit more like old chilis with a more modern poppy chorus and some more wonderful guitar work by John... and what an excellent song it is! Then theres Stadium Arcadium which is most likely going to be a new single.. very similar to the Otherside/Californication style of song. Other highlights on the 1st CD include Slow Cheetah, Especially In Michigan (wonderful guitar!) and the EXCELLENT C'Mon Girl with an excellent bassline from Flea (one of my favourites).

CD2 I would say from first impressions is better than the first..

5.0 out of 5 stars They get better and better... 10 Oct 2006
By Rebecca
Format:Audio CD
I've been a Chilis fan for over 10 years and I reckon this album is fantastic. It was one of those that didn't leave the CD player for weeks when I first got it. The song-writing is amazing: I think the Chilis have really matured well, and unlike some 'older' bands who should just stop now (mentioning no names), the Chilis keep finding new depths, new riffs and new styles. They put some of today's young whippersnapper bands to shame in the fact that they can still be so original.

To my mind there is only one duff track on this album, where they have strayed just a tad too far from their original territory. I think it's brilliant that the Chilis are a) still alive after all their drugs benders, b) still mates and c) still having a great time making funky music together.

4.0 out of 5 stars highly consistent record 13 May 2006
Format:Audio CD
I have heard 25 of these tracks at least 5 times and now i feel i can place a proper judgement on this album.It is quite simply a great album.Alot of these songs are either very good or excellent with hardly any filler.

When i heard the first album the first few times i was a bit disappointed,thinking there wasn't many excellent tracks,now i feel i'm wrong.There's "dani california", "warlocks", "she's only 18" and "especially in michigan", all truly excellent songs.

But the second album is truly the best of the two.It turns up the funk and the guitar work at times is phenomal.My favoruite song is probably "readymade" with it's heavy rock riff which is outstanding,probably the heaviest track on the whole record."Desecration smile" which is basically exactly the same as "dosed" (just as "stadium ardcadium" feels like californication 2 except for the chorus) is a great opener,while other highlights includes other standouts like "she looks to me","21st century" and "hard to concentrate".

I haven't got the last 3 songs implanted in my brain yet but it wont be long i assure you of that.Forget the whole "putting it into one album" rubbish,after all some people stupidly said that about the white album.We're getting 28 solid tracks for the price of one,the more the better i say,especially as it's all so good.This beats bloodsugarsexmagick for sure but i'm not too sure when comparing it to californication and by the way,and i'm certainly gonna go for the one's i haven't got.

disc 1 - 8

disc 2 - 9
