Kinda crazy how a bunch of Irish people expressed the beauty of the US better than anyone else.
This album has some really great songs on it, but this is definitely the beginning of the overproduction and the birth of car-commercial u2.
Some of these songs feel like unfinished sketches, sure, but that adds to the charm and feeling of the album. The Brian Eno-core is there, and that makes emotional moments like Bad hit hard.
BANGER. These beats are like ear candy. Story good too as always.
This is great and cool and awesome but sometimes disagreeable iykyk
This is the kind of hardcore I like. Still fast and political, but still musical and interesting
I really love some of these songs, but theres so much filler. It's a mess.
This is the weirdest, darkest, black hole of a chili peppers album. It's still good at points, but it doesn't feel as cohesive as when Frusciante's on.
This is so nostalgia influenced, but this is like the soundtrack to years 0-5 to me. All the songs i've had stuck in my head since birth are on here.
This album is pure groove and feel. It feels like it comes from their soul. It's the peppers at their funkiest and most focused up to this point. Still has some of the energy of their earlier work, and the genius of what they made from this point on.
