Red Hot Chili Peppers - Stadium Arcadium 320kbps CBR Blackcat



Stadium Arcadium was released 2006



Four-year career hiatuses followed by sprawling double-albums

could spell trouble for a band of the Chili Peppers' stature:

consider they'd originally recorded enough for three discs.

The restless, trouble-plagued outfit that helped break

alternative rock into the mainstream with a potent fusion of

punk 'n' funk in the '80s finds itself two decades on almost

completely devoid of the former's energetic abandon, while the

latter's effusive rhythms are considerably subdued over the course

of this two-hour, 28-track collection. It's not so much that the

Peppers have lost their muscular, often uber-macho edge as they have

willfully tamed it in service of mature reinvention here. The mellower,

often introspective, if no less potent pop ethos that characterized the

crossover hit "Under the Bridge" blossoms fully here on tracks like disc

one's "Snow," "Wet Sand," and the jazz-cool of "Hey."



The title track, "Desecration Smile," and "She Looks To Me" finds them venturing

further into laid back pop ballad territory, while the tricky rhythms of

"Dani California," "Charlie," and "So Much I" eventually kick into familiar top gear

on the pop-savvy "Tell Me Baby" and hip-hop seasoned "Storm in a Teacup.

" It's not that there's a paucity of musical adventure here ("If" and "Animal Bar"

finds them wafting into Floydish neo-psychedelia while "Make You Feel Better" seems

to channel no less than Joe Jackson) but that it's delivered with a subtlety--and dare

we say it?--tasteful musical restraint that's a stark contrast to the band's early,

overly overt nature. There's perhaps too much mid-tempo simmering and reflection going on;

like most double-albums it could be focused into a much more compelling single disc.

But that seems largely beside the Peppers' hooks-over-histrionics point here: an unlikely

record to kick back to, and one that both challenges assumptions and eases the band into

middle age with an oft languorous, if undeniably savory groove.
