Oct 14, 2022Probably their best since Stadium Arcadium. They are clearly enjoying themselves this year and so am I.
-
Oct 17, 2022This album is quality from start to finish. Every band member takes it up a level. It’s creative, it’s funky, it’s everything you would expect from the Chili Peppers after reuniting with John F. For me it’s the best album since Stadium Arcadium. Highlights include Eddie, Bella, Roulette, Bag of Grins and Carry me home.

Oct 14, 2022It's like they picked up right where Stadium Arcadium left off. John on guitar and Rick Rubin producing is a hard to beat combination.
-
Oct 20, 2022Groovy and funky as fu@k, more experimental and out there, and all the better for it.

Oct 14, 2022Unlimited Love was just training, Dream Canteen is the real deal. Their best work since Stadium Arcadium.

Oct 14, 2022Too bad E diddy shrimp is a clown and can’t see good music with his own eyes and stuff. This is easily their best since Stadium Arcadium. UL was good but this is great. Better bass by Flea throughout better guitar shreds by Fruciante as well as better harmonizing. Anthony’s vocals sound better here as well.

Oct 14, 2022Far better than UL, really funk, Flea is doing some magic here again, Frusciante vocals are amazing as aways.
And the wind instruments remember me de first albuns of the band.
Love It! -
Oct 15, 2022Exactly the album I wanted when hearing Frusciante was returning. UL was really good, but this might just blow it out of the water…

Oct 16, 2022This is "easily" their best work, including UL, since the masterpiece Stadium Arcadium. Welcome back John !

Oct 17, 2022RHCP as they have been for 20 years : Great stuff mixed with lots of fillers, uneven and sometimes boring tracks. But overall, if we mix the best stuff of their last 2 albums, we get a pretty decent, groovy and funky album, with lots to enjoy. Fewer is better guys, please find someone who will guide you in keeping some of it for LPs or Deluxe albums.

Oct 17, 2022They like to leave great stuff at the end of records showing pride in what art they’ve shared with us all. There is a rushed response to the album by many overpaid writers. I haven’t listened to enough it times yet but the majority of the songs keep rusting into retrospect that there is sheer good here

Nov 25, 2022Yes!! they are back. This is Pure gold. The RHCP sound that I fell in love with 20 years ago. Frusciate (guitars) created that magic again, along with the vocals (kedis), drums (smith) and bass (Flea) are all on point. Who says rock is dead!! Love RHCP.

Oct 14, 2022ROTDC retorna al sonido tradicional de RHCP. Los slap de Flea, los riffs de John, los toques de batería de Chad, magia pura!

Oct 19, 2022While some of these songs can feel regressive or at least undercooked on their own, they’re reframed by the open-hearted sadness that takes over the album’s second half.
-
Oct 14, 2022Mildly soulful, rarely unpalatable, the Chili Peppers keep delivering American fast-food for the ears, even as they enter their sixties.
-
Oct 14, 2022Return of the Dream Canteen is better overall than the previous effort. It might have a couple of higher sonic peaks, but suffers from similar flaws. Obviously, one hour-long album with the strongest tracks recorded in the past couple of years would have been enough for a stronger comeback.
