By The Way is a weak album, predictable, almost commercial. At times really boring. Perhaps this is what happened to John Frusciante, the magical soul of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, who has produced excellent work since returning to the group but may have run out of the 'spirit' of the past.

Listening to Kiedis’s voice being all romantic at forty doesn’t feel great, even though the song is beautiful, but, damn, you’re the Red Hot Chili Peppers, you can’t do such a song!! In all the Chili Peppers’ records, the great Balzary always made himself heard, but here, he’s not there, Flea’s bass isn’t heard!!

The old RHCP sound is almost absent, replaced by syrupy pop songs, some monotonous and others unbearable. By The Way is a slip... oh well, it happens to all bands, and it happens also and especially to the best.

"By the Way," seen as the work of a group of people seeking new sounds, arrangements, and melodies, seems like an album solid and rich with beautiful melodies and rhythmic accompaniments. Frusciante did what no one else would have done, which is to focus his sound on more melodic tones, completely deviating from the blues base.
