    Damn over two weeks of solid listening and it just keeps getting better for me! Great summer album if the MetLife show was on a weekend I’d bite the bullet and go but it’s a damn Thursday and that sucks! I’m holding out for indoor shows..
    Agree with everything here!

    This is a really great album. Those bass lines and smooth funky guitars. My top favorites have been changing as time goes by, but the combo of White Braids/One Way Traffic is right up there these days.
  • Can everyone stop talking about how much they are enjoying the chili peppers album? I might just have to buy it

    It's taken a while but Unlimited Love is finally growing on me. I didn't think it was bad, but it just didn't blow me away the first few times.
    I gave it a break for a week or so and went back with fresh ears and that definitely did the trick.

    Yeah it really is that good I’ve listened to it constantly and it’s just a damn good record!

    Guess I'm the anomaly. I'll try it again, but found myself wondering when the album would end. I really liked The Getaway, but only a handful interest me so far. Can't remember which song it was, but sounded exactly like Sick Love in one part.

    I do not find this album near as good as Gigaton, but thought their last album blew away anything PJ had done since the mid-2000s.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Exactly how I feel about it. It's very dull to my ears, and I enjoyed The Getaway a lot. Really trying to like it, but it's not hitting me whatsoever. Very bland indeed.

    Uhmm I haven’t gone back to Gigaton since it’s release, it did nothing for me! But UL has everything I like Flea’s & Chads work way better than anything Jeff & Matt did on Gigaton IMHO..

    I have to agree. Not even close for me.

    I think the new Chilis is getting overhyped some. Solid return but the weakest Frusciante album by a large margin and as typical with the Chili’s would benefit from a more selective track selection.

    As an artistic statement and attempting to chase the muse, Gigaton slays UL. Strongest PJ album since Avocado to me.

    Could not agree any more with this. Gigaton craps all over Unlimited Love for me, but I'm glad people are enjoying the new Chilis stuff.

    Love that is is an all analog release, wonder if PJ will ever take pride in a vinyl release and produce one AAA

    It’s all just a matter of personal perspective & opinion! Im no authority on what’s good and not , but only what I feel when I listen to an album UL has all that I like in music to my ears! Gigaton just doesn’t.

    I liked Gigaton but I'm loving Unlimited Love. So happy JF is back! His style just fits so well with Flea. Should be an amazing tour!
