I Don't Feel Well

Josh Klinghoffer is awesome. His work in rhcp is really good and his work outside of the band weather it be his album with Frusciante or his other projects are amazing. He never disappoints me with his music. Some of his best songs hes been on, on this album.
Best tracks: Red Don’t Feel, The Night Won’t Scare Me, The Report, I Hear You
Worst track: N/a

I have not delved into art rock much, but listening to these songs made me go "Oh yeah, this is art rock." That being said, at times the mixing on this album is a little bit weird, especially in Plank, a song I really enjoyed until the drums came in. Don't Have To is a ... read more
