Aug 7, 2012I don't care what anyone says, I hail this album as the best album of all time. It has so many songs on it and they all are great. Usually albums have 15-18 songs and 2,3 maybe 4 are good. Stadium Arcadium has 28 songs and they all are great.

Mar 31, 2012Stadium Arcadium is a musical triumph for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. it's their most creative album they've ever put out. Each track stands out. It's their best album to date and they probably will never make an album better than it. A

Apr 21, 2011Honestly, this is probably my favorite album of all time, coming from one of my favorite bands of all time.
Almost every song of the 28 is an instant classic to me. -

Feb 14, 2012I love the whole album, but the thing is, I love almost every other Red Hot Chili Peppers album more than this one. My go to songs are She's Only 18 and Wet Sand!

Nov 15, 2013One of the greatest displays of guitar work ever. To me, the lyrics are way underrated and the long album is just what the Chilis needed. A great album for John to leave on.

Apr 11, 2012If you took the best 12 or 13 songs from this sprawling double record, you'd still have a pretty dull, funk rock affair. There are half a dozen good songs, another half dozen average songs and over a dozen tracks that just act as filler. That's way too much filler by anyone's standards. Dani California is very good but very little to like apart from that.

EdM.May 16, 2006An album full of tame, uninteresting mid-tempo rock. Without the pop harmonies of By the Way or blazing energy of Blood Sugar Sex Magik, you realize that Anthony Kiedis doesn't really have anything to say. With the rhythm section stepping back, this is now another typical four-piece rock band. The musicianship is technically great... but so is Yanni's. Listen before you buy.

MikeBJul 2, 2006I feel that this album is their best work to date. The band really seems to gel on this album. There seems to be no competition on this album, everyone is at their best and each is given a chance to shine without interupting the flow of the track. It's a mature effort put forth by the peppers and it really does surprisingly fill two CD's nicely.

MarceloAug 2, 2006too long (shock), lyrically poor, and too similar to the same stuff they've been making over the last 15 years. Although some guitar solos and bass lines were good. And they even used a trumpet on 'Torture Me'

AronRMay 10, 2006It's simply amazing to listen to the first cd and realize thats only half of the greatness that is Stadium Arcadium. Each song follows the previous song flawlessly and the album as a whole is the best thing I have EVER bought!

BorisSMay 6, 2006Flea was right... If you do not like this album, you do not like the Red Hot Chili Peppers... And by the way, if you don't like this band, even a little, your missing out a lot... Stadium Arcadium is beyond kickass.

KingKoogsMay 8, 2006A poor follow up to "By The Way" It would appear the chillis have gone for quantity over quality on this record. It lacks the passion & soul of BSSM. It is frustrating in the sense that they are capable of making much better music. If this is not the last lp the chillis put out i will be very suprised!

Stadium Arcadium ensures that graying Lollapalooza-era fans, indie teens, and rowdy lunkheads will all be satisfied.

Somewhere along the line the Chilis got sophisticated on our asses.

Frusciante's guitar work... almost single-handedly saves the project, but not quite.
