Though I love Danger Mouse's work on Modern Guilt, I had to laugh at "By 2016, he was the millennial Don Was, with a track record of overseeing the least interesting albums by long-running alt-rock and indie bands."

I was lollin at the Dave Navarro section, how he’s allergic to playing funk licks and tried to cram in every cool guitar part from ritual into the first song of one hot minuteMakes me want to hear the album but I know I wouldn’t even make it through the first chorus

Brad, what’s the egregious fault that rates the Red Hot Chili Peppers album “Californication” so low for you?
― Western® with Bacon Flavor, Saturday, 26 March 2022 23:32 (two years ago) link
Am also curious about that one.
― Let's disco dance, Hammurabi! (Austin), Sunday, 27 March 2022 01:07 (two years ago) link
it sounds like shit and there’s a feeling of whiplash between their funk stuff and their newfound pop-rock focus. just feels inconsistent and broken as a record though most of the songs are very good, even the deep cuts cf. this velvet glove, easily, porcelain, purple stain

i’m listening to the new one and “aquatic mouth dance” is amazing

This is a band that has always seemed ridiculous to me but someone could say the same about many acts I adore, so
But
I could probably come up with a list of 10 RCHP bangers if I put my mind to it

(At heart, funk just isn’t my jam.)
walking this back a little bc obviously the '84 debut has a foot in post-punk
― STOCK FIST-PUMPER BRAD (BradNelson), Tuesday, 29 March 2022 15:18 (two years ago) link
One Hot Minute would also top my list.

"Warped" is so good.
― So who you gonna call? The martini police (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 29 March 2022 15:34 (two years ago) link
I wish Duran Duran had sounded like "Warped" in 1995.
I always thought the Klinghoffer albums were way better than anyone expected them to be. Nothing amazing happens but it's solid, consistently tuneful altrock. This is probably my favorite RHCP song:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DIQWkQJ6bE
"In Love Dying (Parts One + Two)" (2013)

One Hot Minute has Aeroplane on it, which means by definition it isn’t good

I don't know the name of the song, but on a podcast I heard someone play a mid-'00s RHCP song that was clearly a Strokes ripoff, it was pretty striking.

final ranking with a slight boost for californication bc i think i'm being unfair to it just bc the classic singles are all victims of overplay for me and i can barely hear them anymore:
one hot minuteblood sugar sex magikby the wayfreaky styleymother's milki'm with youstadium arcadiumcalifornicationthe uplift mofo party planunlimited lovethe getawayred hot chili peppers
surprised i prefer i'm with you to the getaway but i'm not a huge fan of the muffled danger mouse production sound, it's the least they've ever sounded like a band (also surprised i prefer rubin's absolute non-production, at least on the later records). if i'm with you and i'm beside you were spliced so that only the best tracks remained and it ran less than 50 minutes, it would be the best rhcp record
my favorite red hot chili peppers song of all time is "warm tape"

I remember ‘Uplift Mofo Party Plan’ as a big disappointment bc it lacked a good single and I felt the psychedelic stuff was an awkward addition to the sound. It just wasn’t the huge leap forward I expected. (‘Mother’s Milk’ kind of was that). Knowing now that it was the only album from the original lineup makes we want to re-listen.
― Josefa, Friday, 1 April 2022 04:32 (two years ago) link
i think it's the first album on which they managed to write real songs, it's also just really fun

also i assume this has been tested and it didn't work, but i just feel like if you played the bob dylan cover for a boomer they would die instantly
