Musical perfection! In all the years I've been a fan with each new recording I think they have peaked. No, I was wrong again. Stadium Arcadium is THE album of the year/decade. It's beautiful, soulful, funky, rocking and just a memorable fantastic album. John Frusciante has once again delivered a Godly performance that I almost feel unworthy of listening to. Flea, well he's Flea & that's all I have to say about that, (my FG moment, forgive me). Chad is just brilliant on the drums and Anthony's vocals are as strong & solid as ever. This is one band that knows how to get out of each others way when need be and blend together beautifully throughout their songs.

Every day for 20 years I've had the pleasure of calling myself a RHCP fan. With "Stadium Arcadium" I'm quite simply an astonished admirer & thank them for sharing their gift with me.

Loved everything before "Mother's Milk," especially "Uplift Mofo Party Plan," hated everything since then. I still think they're all way cool, though, especially Flea.
R.I.P. -Hillel Slovak. :(

Uplift Mofo is indeed a great album, "Behind the Sun" still stands as one of my all time favorite songs. "Fight Like a Brave" was my anthem through high school much to the dismay of certain teachers. I was however able to turn my "English/creative writing" teacher onto "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" in my senior year. :D

Yeah, it's hard to believe that next month it's been 18 years since Hillel's death. :(
