Reviews
"There are hidden depths here, melodies that become more insistent and subtleties that reveal themselves from where they sit modestly beneath the surface.", "John Frusciante lays down his sledgehammer riffs, Kiedis begins to actually sing the elegiac chorus, the golden harmonies of the bridge kick in, and by the end, you're blindsided by how great it all sounds." -- Grade: B+, 5 stars out of 5 -- "Frusciante has brought a sense of experimentation to a band not renowned for dabbling with the unorthodox. It's testament to his new-found vocabulary that no two songs sound the same.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Flea finally cuts loose again here, reasserting himself as the best non-hip-hop reason to buy a subwoofer.", Ranked #4 in Q Magazine's "100 Greatest Albums of 2006" -- "With funk-rock rhythms, Californian harmonies and bittersweet themes.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "It's the sound of a band on a roll....The unbridled creativity here is a cause for celebration.", Ranked #2 in Rolling Stone's "The Top 50 Albums of 2006in- "A Confessional and Creative Triumph."
