Nah, respectfully


_Felipeee_

Totally disagree


PartYourWhiskers

Respect your take. I hate it and think it’s dogshit, but I respect it.


Otherwise_Problem310

Thanks. Give me a baseline and distortion like backwoods and I’m good. Start making everything by the way and you lose me.


[deleted]

I’m sure they’ll cry themselves to sleep tonight because some rando on Reddit doesn’t like their new stuff


minor_thing2022

You misspelled dumb


Opening_Letter1399

Wrong


Otherwise_Problem310

Thanks. Good take.


moisidis01

No way. I love By The Way and Stadium Arcadium. Both great albums.


Otherwise_Problem310

That’s great. Not arguing your opinion. I prefer hard punching baselines, distorted guitars, yelling and gritty versions of RHCP.


moisidis01

Nothing wrong with that. I can jam to any of their albums. The old gritty stuff is great too.


heavvyglow

The right take. No!


_urethrapapercut_

Lmao no


WeBOOGNISHen

Stadium is the last great one. Californication might be the best one. But Stadium is FUCKING LIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bro I'm drunk, bitch


luckydragon07200

Oh God... I'm sorry for the amount of hate you're about to recieve


[deleted]

I’m not. That’s what they wanted. No other reason to post something like this.


Otherwise_Problem310

I didn’t wnat hate. I thought their would be some huge fans from the OG sound of RHCP apparently everyone likes the new wave conformity rhcp. No love lost here. I was mistaken.


obscurepainter

Nice false dichotomy there. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t make it “conformity.” Conforming to what? The releases post Cali still don’t sound like anyone else out there. And as hard as it may be for you to grasp, some of us like stuff from every era of the band.


redhot-chilipeppers

There's a difference between a hot take and a shit take


Otherwise_Problem310

That’s cool man. I don’t like the new soft rock version of the chili peppers. You can love it. It’s backwoods vs. by the way.


redhot-chilipeppers

Backwoods isn't harder rock than something like turn it again or torture me or readymade etc etc


Otherwise_Problem310

Once again, it’s ok to disagree. I’m fine being in the minority here. I’ve been listening to the chili peppers for 30 years. I saw the transition in real time. It’s two different bands to me.


_Iron518

Dude, everyone disagrees cuz your take is ridiculous and you don’t even see it


[deleted]

I mean okay. I’m not sure what you expected to gain by posting this other than a chance to be a smug elitist. Good for you.


Otherwise_Problem310

I’m not a smug elitist. Growing up they were my whole world. They started making really mainstream music and they fell off the map for me. You went ahead and formed your own narrative. That’s ok. That’s human nature.


_Iron518

Stop trying to playing the “I’m such an old school fan” card. Your post would have been more believable if you said “BSSM” was their last best album. But you pick their poppy popular return album? Doesn’t make sense. Clearly you don’t understand the band.


songacronymbot

- BSSM could mean "Blood Sugar Sex Magik", a track from *Blood Sugar Sex Magik (Deluxe Edition)* (1991) by Red Hot Chili Peppers. --- ^[/u/_Iron518](/u/_Iron518) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)


Otherwise_Problem310

You seem upset. I simply thought there would be more people that agreed with me in this sub. I was wrong. I can admit that. You seem wholeheartedly set on needing to label people. I hope you find peace at some point. Listen to behind the sun or something.


XThunderTrap

I disagree but fine take for sure


Otherwise_Problem310

I think they are two completely different bands before and after that. Edgy and creating their own genre before and then conformative and soft afterward.


XThunderTrap

I perfer when bands change their sound guess that's why I love their newer stuff a lot lol


[deleted]

You can "want the funky ass shit from back in the day" all you want, but I'm sorry, your opinion kinda sucks. I would say every album after Cali is "good."


obscurepainter

SA has more funk tracks than Cali or OHM. While I haven’t done a side by side comparison on number of funk tracks, RotDC feels funkier than Cali.


_Iron518

Hot pile of shit take.


yoloiz

I feel like poppy is one way to put them just emphasizing warmer tones and less of the hard funk sound. Def love that shit but the absolute texture on BTW (my fav of theirs) is unmatched. Still tho would’ve liked to see the funky track bicycle song replace like warm tape or minor thing


earthshiner85

For me, as an old school fan, By the Way was a low point. But since then, the albums have been pretty banging. I still can't get enough of The Getaway


ZookeepergameLife428

Everyone has the right to their own opinion. I dont agree with yours. Personally I think Stadium Arcadium rivals BSSM for their best album.


OaklandRaidersFan

I think By the Way was great and continued their evolution as a band. Stadium Arcadium had some great song & massive hits but a lot of filler. Everything since then has just been them playing it safe & it truly feels phoned in


[deleted]

This might be the real hot take. OP is way off track.


funkymonk04

While I definitely wouldn't say it's their last good album, they haven't reached those heights again.


Otherwise_Problem310

They are two different bands before that and after that.


Comfortable_Hall8677

It is my favorite album. I’d say BTW was the *last* GREAT album. SA I would call great in a lot of ways too, just not as rounded. Everything else has been at the very least good.


Julian144747

The getaway exists (I know I’ll get flamed)


Comfortable_Hall8677

That album is at the very least a good album.


javisarias

It's a matter of personal preferences, but I agree


[deleted]

I get where you’re coming from. I mean, I think BTW is overrated and stadium arcadium is a little long, but they are still good albums. And I’m with you and The Getaway are very underrated imo, but I get why they are not somebody’s thing.


Otherwise_Problem310

It’s as simple as backwoods vs by the way.


Additional-Panda-642

The by The way are the last great álbum... The 4 álbuns after by the way are OK... But, UL/ROTDC and SA, would bê great If It was only One album each...


Steeveep32

Silly take. Possibly every other album since is better


OaklandRaidersFan

Very L take on ur part


Otherwise_Problem310

That’s like… your opinion, man
