Red Hot Chili Peppers

The new album is thus far a lot less awesome than the previous

Third listen in and have a few favourite tracks at this very early point

Tippa My Tongue
Reach Out …there is something in the vocal at one point that reminds me of, wait for it, Parasite by Kiss, on Kiss Alive! 
Eddie
Fake as F@&$
Roulette
Afterlife
Shoot Me a Smile
Bag of Grins…my early favourite for sure
Carry Me Home

So far I’d have to agree!

I’m loving this album. I will never listen to La La La, my least favorite of the whole session. My Cigarette and In the Snow will get played minimally, I have to be in a specific mood. Out of everything else I think Roulette is one I’m not completely into. Not a bad song, just the least interesting out of the other ones with no real standout parts imo.

Yeah we have expect that out of all these songs both albums combined we would get filler songs! But still impressed with the output from the band at this stage in their careers!

I’m still pumped for them to tour again next year over any other band!

Out of 36 songs, not bad to have only a few skips for me. Incredible output!!! It is funny though because my wife LOVES my cigarette and I’ve read A lot of people love In the Snow and I’ve seen love here for Roulette. So my least favorite is someone’s else’s favorite. I love that they released everything because everyone has different taste.

Agreed! Even our beloved PJ has never ventured into this kind of output, to just get into a writing session and come out with over 30 songs for release we’ve heard of them doing it but they just never release them in this short of time frame!

Man Carry Me Home is fuckin awesome. The moment the music drops out and it’s just AK and Flea… then kicks back in with that killer solo….. sick.

Yes I would love to catch them. Missed out on my only chance previously due to having to attend a wedding.

Yeah I passed on them this summer they played that gigantic Giants stadium! I’m hoping that they do an arena tour keeping fingers crossed otherwise I might have to bite the bullet and attend a stadium show!

Much prefer Return of the Dream Canteen compared to Unlimited Love. Handful is my favorite on first listen.

I feel like so much ground and styles were covered across these two albums.

they've been here 3 times. Caught them the first time (Stadium Arcadium tour) and missed the last two, for no reason at all. Shame on me.

I’m STILL pumping UL. This is unbelievable news. My excitement is sky high. Any track list? 

Curious where this image is from. The track list is very different.

Love the new record! More mellow, great companion to UL. Going to throw them both into one playlist and jam this week!

I did the same last night! Threw them both in a playlist and hit shuffle. Awesome stuff. 

I also heard the shape I’m taking yesterday and it’s pretty great honestly. Looking forward to them releasing it officially in the US.

Like most albums if you spin it more than a few times you’ll like it more and more. As already mentioned, the body of work this year from these guys is amazing. You could argue that Dream Canteen is a track or two too long, maybe has a couple of filler tracks but overall it’s a very good album. 

I’d love to know the thinking behind the track lists for both UL and DC. Maybe it was obvious to them, maybe it was hard, working out which songs would go on each album. Assuming the songs were all finished before UL was released? (I haven’t looked into that).

I like Eddie & The Drummer a lot.
