I always thought the lyrics in RHCP were OK...but i think they are just terrible in this latest album. Don't get me wrong, i love the instrumentals...but i really can't stand the lyrics and vocals =/ |

Come on, wasn't the rapping getting a little old for you? I mean, they're like 45 years old, you can only rap about boobies and sex, even thinly veiled, for so long before it gets creepy.
I kind of agree on the lyrics; Hey Yo? But still...

It seemed like a lot of the 'fire' went away.
I fealt the same way about Rush - either on or after Subdivisions - fealt like they were no longer the group I fell in love with.
Not to say they both did not continue to make incredible music - it just left me behind, that's all.

| I hate to say it, but I had not thought of it this way. You have a point...

It sounds like he is singing without passion, wheras on earlier albums he was putting his all into it. Thats the biggest dissapointment I have with the album. |

Are there any lyrics included with the digital bookelt from iTunes? What about lyrics with the actual CD? Seems like the actual CD is selling for the same price or cheaper than iTunes. |

| | | | I don't like the lyrics either. Actually, it may be that they're actually very deep and poetic and use symbolism and metaphors and such, and I just don't get them. Or that they actually make no sense.

I kind of agree on the lyrics; Hey Yo? But still... | We'll see how he manages live. Singing in a studio with software at your command and singing live are two completely different things. |

lowsound | I personally think the only song that has a good hook is Dani California.
