    Holy shit! Awesome! Loving the new record! RHCP reminds me of summer in a big way.

    Really dig the new album... the first three tracks they pre-released, the first three tracks are really solid, after my first listen I do not think this album is quite as good as "I'm With You" or "By The Way" but it may continue to grow on me.

    Their iHeartRadio set that I attended a few weeks ago is streaming now. My early favorite off the album is "Go Robot," thanks to the double bass jam they did at this show with Thundercat.

    I get angry when I open a brand new vinyl with no download card. Downright ANGRY! Especially when the vinyl cost $30

    yes - there is absolutely no reason for this. I also enjoy CD's with the vinyl.

    After a few listens, I do enjoy the new album. It is not better than anything with Frusciante, and I'm still not sure how it matches up with their last album, at least even, perhaps slightly better.

    Klinghoffer just doesn't do it for me. I understand that Flea is the musical cornerstone of the band, but so many songs now just seem to be a Chad/Flea groove with production, pianos/keys or atmospheric guitar sounds. I really miss Frusciante.

    Josh was John's protege - and it really shows in his playing. Minus the crazy epic guitar solo's when I close my eyes and listen to this new record, I hear John's influence on Josh big time.

    On my first listen, I'm enjoying it so far. It's not mind blowing, but there's some good stuff, and the Chili Peppers and summertime just seem to go together so well. I know some people rag on them for talking about California all the time in their songs, but having visited California last year, it's nice to have a band who completely encapsulate all the good vibes - a world away from the grey skies British summertime usually brings!

    I agree. Listening to RHCP in summer is how I feel is the best way to listen to them.
    Such a good time party vibe.

    I think the new one sounds fantastic - especially the vinyls ;)

    Is really doing it for me right now. It came on at the perfect time while driving and I had to hit repeat twice- each time the volume louder.

    I haven't had a chance to listen to the new album from start to finish yet. Dark Neccesities is growing on me. I really like the funky little space invaders guitar sound every once in a while. Different vibe on that song than past albums. I'm a Frusciante fan and do agree that you can hear the influence in Klinghoffer. That said, I really do miss Frusciante, his incredible background vocals, and unearthly guitar solos.They also have a different producer for the first time ever. I have a feeling this is more "synthesized" and less raw rock? Don't know if that makes since to anyone but me. Different sound, not typically what I'm initially drawn to. However, they are amazing and always ahead of the curve. I hope to give it a listen this weekend.

    I think I had too high expectations going into listening the album, because I've heard so many rave reviews. I think about half the songs on the album are really solid, other half are just alright. Not a bad album overall by any means, just didn't completely live up to the hype for me. Still an enjoyable listen. Have yet to see RHCP live, so jonesin' for a tour announcement.

    I think they're taking too long to announce a US tour. I know they're booked over seas until the end of the year, but they're losing momentum on the release of their most recent album.

    They always go overseas first. Being in LA, the band's own hometown, we even usually have to wait until they've come back and done a leg or two in the States before their proper headlining show here. Luckily there are appearances sprinkled in here or there like a KROQ Weenie Roast set, or the recent iHeartRadio hour set that I was able to attend. I believe the US tour is slated to start Jan-Feb, so it will probably be announced in the next few months.
