Dave Matthews' hasn't had a cd for a long time that compared to his first three, Under The Table and Dreaming, Crash, and Before These Crowded Streets. U2's newer albums have got nothing on War, The Joshua Tree, and Auctung Baby. I can't think of any new Tom Petty songs I like, and the new Pearl Jam album isn't any Yield.
So how is it that the Chili Peppers, who have been around for 23 years, came out with such an awesome record? And when I say awesome, I'm saying that this could be their best, and that is awesome. It's a combo of everything that is great about the Peppers. It's got the funk of their early years, combined with the more mellow sounds that we loved from Californication. John is back this time and his guitar skills are better than ever. He and Anthony sound awesome together, and with the best bassist in the world (flea) and Chad on the very distinct Chili Peppers drums, there is no room for error. There are 28 tracks on this double disk. The only question I can think of, is which disk will I listen to more?
