I never quite understood that. Oasis had a few really good songs, and it seems lota people LOVE them. I admit i only own one album, Dont believe in the Truth, and its not that wonderful. But thats just me.

Stadium Arcadium was really disappointing, though kind of inevitable.
They kept getting worse after Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
Great album that....

You think Californication and BTW were going down?

I thought this was a decent album, not their best but certainly not their worst. It was no 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik', but it was no 'One Hot Minute'. I really think Frusciante took a bigger role in the sound of this album.

Yeah...
I do.
Don't get me wrong.
By The Way and Californication were great albums, just not as good as Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
Still better then One Hot Minute. :S

Yea i see how lota people think that. BSSM was the height of Frusciante's playing in my opinion. And i think he says in an interview his most technically difficult playing was on that album.

He said that his playing on that album wasn't as good as it could have been because he was trying to get everything done as quickly as possible.

I keep changing my mind on this album. I do like it to a degree, but I'm just annoyed at how contrived it feels. Poppiness isn't necessarily a bad thing, but a contrived sound is. And RHCP have never sounded contrived until Stadium Arcadium.

Yea it loses some of that raw jammy type sound. I do not think thats bad tho for hen, just a little different. And shows them growing more. (growing, not meaning better music, just as artists.)

I wanna meet them just so I can ask them what happened. Its like every single member had a stoke before they recorded the album. It wasnt the shittiest thing put out ever, but they lost something along the way.
