Stadium Arcadium - Red Hot Chili Peppers

For a long time now I have been a massive fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Always the music is packed full of energy, excitement, and a great lust for life. The music makes you want to get up and dance, it's positive music and the energy contained within the bands sound is always intense. When the band released the 'Stadium Arcadium' album in 2006 I spent months greatly anticipating its release. When the album finally emerged it must be said that I most certainly was not in the least bit disappointed. 'Stadium Arcadium' is the ninth studio album to have been released by the exceptional rock band that is Red Hot Chili Peppers. Twenty eight tracks make up ...  Read the complete review

When it comes to Christmas presents I like to get some thing you can use and what I actually want. Normally this is something I can use; whether this is something to watch, do something with or listen to. The latter making up the most of my Christmas lists these days, basically I get what I most of the time. So it came to no surprise that this festive period I received the CD album Stadium Arcadium by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from my Cousin. My previous experience of this band only spans one album. This was the previous album release By the Way released in 2002 although the band spans back to the early eighties. Their main releases on the album front have ...  Read the complete review

With the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ (henceforth to be known as RHCP) last studio album starting to become a distant memory having been released way back in 2002 it was high time the Californian rock outfit hit the recording studios again. Luckily that is exactly what they did as 2005 saw them record a massive 38 new songs. These tunes were originally going to be released on three albums bi-annually, but after talks with their record company it was decided to condense the songs down to a 28 track double CD collection, and thus “Stadium Arcadium” was born. The first CD was to be called Jupiter while the 2nd disk was titled Mars. Being a confirmed RHCP nut the release date of ...  Read the complete review

I’ve resisted writing an opinion on Stadium Arcadium for a number of months now for one sole reason. Being a double album, it sometimes takes quite a while to digest every track and normally everything doesn’t sound the same. Ever after seeing them live in the Summer down the road in Ipswich, I still mulled over this opus. The album was released in May of this year and has mustered some good reviews all around. It follows recent double disc affairs from the likes of the Foo Fighters and the Smashing Pumpkins. It’s certainly a difficult thing for a band to pull off, coming up with something that has at least twenty good songs and not much ...  Read the complete review
