Mar 31, 2022Throughout Unlimited Love, you can still hear their enthusiasm breathing life into these tracks: when Flea, Frusciante, and Smith really lock in on a groove, they’re indestructible.
-
Apr 1, 2022It is this balance of experimentalism and familiarity, of the tentative and the trusted, that makes “Unlimited Love” utterly unstoppable and unlike anything you’re likely to hear this year.
-
Mar 31, 2022The result is vintage RHCP: a jammy, melodic effort that blends the wavy reflections of their 1999 triumph, Californication, with the expansive rock of Stadium Aracadium.

Apr 1, 2022The band's albums with outgoing guitarist Josh Klinghoffer weren't bad, exactly — The Getaway in particular holds up quite nicely — but, when listening to Unlimited Love, there's a strong sense of everything falling into place and order being restored.

Apr 1, 2022It’s safely on-brand. It’s just smoother, and slower, and sloppier than before.

Apr 3, 2022Superb album. The band manages to keep their sound and have never been better in my opinion. Black Summer is my go to track when I feel down.
