So, the album just dropped, what do you think?
I like it, a lot. Basically, at first glance all I'm hearing is a B-side collection like Steal This Album from SOAD. It's a long-throw from Frusciante's slash mastery and a bit poppy at times, but still, RHCP is unique, when it comes to Kiedis' amazing voice or Flea's bass slayage (which shines on this album). It'll grow on me soon enough and I can't wait to sing these songs.
My hat's off to Josh to keep up with the rest of the band, way better than Navarro did. I'll be anxiously waiting for the next record, standing in line.
All in all, B-.
