red hot way

i purchased the new chili peppers album and post-that, i listened to it all night and this morn. It is incredible. Different...definitely. Over the years, the peppers have subtly been getting rid of their funkrockrappunk hybrid, which they helped pioneer in the 80s and earlier 90s....and in a natural progression they have pretty much kicked the habit....and in its place have added alot of innovative guitar work and a giant pile of melody. On first listen i was like "they are trying to be the doors now! ha, fools!" but then after hearing the overall "love" "happiness" "lovelost" themes in the songs i realized they are more like the Beach Boys....but in their trippy acid-doing days.......or maybe beatles (as rolling stone mentions)
The only song that even resembles their punk/funk/rap is the first single and title track "by the way"......after that, if you can actually avoid all of anthony kiedis's overflowing melodies and the sunny-smooth instrumentals,...you can hear a funky flea bass lick....but very rarely
This album is a love reply to californication....where incubus went wrong when trying to make a beautiful album, the peppers will succeed, because of the natural progression and not the drastic and caustic change of style.....plus the chili peppers are better at it.
This album is a summer day, for the most part.....sitting around in the sunshine eating berries with your shades on, and a couple of your best friends talking about love lost and found...triumphs and lows.....but it does not include how you fucked your love and then she gave you a post-sex blowjob, and how she was on the rag (blood) and you got off on it....
none of that schtuff here, like chili pepper albums past....this is all beauty...
Bare with me i cant remember tracks, but moments of this album remind me of radiohead alot....and also one paticular track that reminds me of the dismemberment plans' "you are invited" or "invitation" or whatever its called
'By the way' for some, (and part of myself) leaves a gap that would normally be filled by a normal peppers album.....and that is the the strong basic songs....the ones that aren't funk rap and they aren't beautiful/pop/rock...they are ones that are almost aggro (but because its the chili peppers, you dont recognize it)....songs like 'parrallel universe' from californication or 'shallow be thy name' from one hot minute...
where are the upbeat and slightly angered rock joints?
well theyve replaced them with innovation....a couple of songs you can still feel the same emotions but they are too dissimilar to categorize together. On some of these tracks Kiedis out does himself with imagery.....i was amazed at their vividness...and the instrumentals compliment with precesion
for -rock-heads....this wont be the best album, in fact they may hate it....
-punks....this album will blow...but thats because they are idiots and think punk still something the ramones were doing twenty years ago
-the intelligent listener....its an album to have...and let grow on you...and eventually let yourself love.......unless you hate it. And if you do, fuck off....
-commercially it will do great....maybe not as great as its predecessor....but still very good.....
...well "by the way" is exactly what i expected them to try but i didn;t expect them to do it this well...nor consistently
hm....i guess its just art...but it still sells.

what kind of people/culture have the last name "sunday"? that just baffles me....

i may get laid off work soon (end of week)....so if you need some lawn work or house cleaning done....im cheap labor....
