They 'were' alternative. Closest description would have been 'Hard Funk'...sweet-ass slap bass lines, funky guitar riffs, half-rap/half-singing, great lyrics.

These days? Alterna-pop.

 Big favourite band of mine too - especially in recent years.

Thought 'Californication' was a great album then I got the next one, 'By the Way'. Knocked me out - one of the very best albums of recent years IMO! Found the songwriting and pared back playing along with great backing vocals just annoyingly addictive. I can still put it on and basically enjoy every minute of every song.

So the latest one isn't too shabby either then? Have to check it out too I guess...

the latest one (Stadium Arcadium) is CHUCK FULL of those great annoyingly addictive backing vocals. John Frusciante is a master on the guitar and he has that backing vocal thing down to a T.

If like Marcus you preferred them pre Californication them maybe give it a miss. If like me you think that the last two albums were both brilliantly crafted and catchy as hell then the new double indeed carries right on from there.

Disc 1 is probably the direct follow on, quite light and poppy. Sounds like a happy band, not an angry band. Nothing wrong with that when it is well done. In fact coming up with classic 'gets under the skin' type melodic rock / pop music is quite an artform in itself - not as easy as you'd think. This is quality stuff again IMO.

The second disc (on one listen so far) sounded perhaps a bit more vintage 'Peppery', but maybe not spicy enough for some. I reckon it'll last a few seasonings in the 'H.' household though!

Yeah, a great band, and right bang on top form I'd say!

I love this band.. but John Frusciante's solo-records are miles better. different music though, so you cant really compare it. but it's obvious frusciante is the biggest reason for them being so great, not that flea isnt an awesome musician too.

Marcus is right on the money. They used to be a good band. They have stunk it up since Mother's Milk, IMO. I knew it was all over when they became MTV and radio darlings. Personally, all of their newer stuff gives me SED.

i really don't like stadium arcadium

it's just a bunch of popstuff with an occasional great guitar lick and or solo. But that doesnt make up for it

As a bass player growing up in the 90's I couldn't help but be very influenced by Flea's style- I think they're a great band. However, their latest musical directions starting with parts of One Hot Minute, I just can't get down with no matter how much I want to. I think everything including Mother's Milk and Blood Sugar Sex Magic is phenomenal. I haven't yet listened to Stadium Arcadium, but the single sounds like the last few albums. It's just kinda one dimensional and tired sounding in comparison the old jams.

Havent heard the new album, but i cant stand them as of recent times, dont know why. Mainly the music, just dosent float my boat.
