Rating: Finally the wait is over, even though thanks to the live songs on the internet and the free streaming on iTunes, I was able to pass the time. Since August 26, the brand-new album of the Red Hot Chili Peppers is also available on the shelves of the finest rest stops, and so I've had the chance to enjoy it in full about twenty times already.
I am a die-hard fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' latest music, and I owe it to that conveyor of good music called MTV, which with the video of "Hump de Bump" made me fall in love with Anthony Kiedies' smile.
Now that that pain in the neck, John Frusciante, has stepped aside, Anthony, Flea, Chad, and the new wonderful Josh can create their alternative mix of rock, funk, and pop without hindrance and we fans are gratefully satisfied.
The tracks that have pleasantly impressed me the most are "Brendan's Death Song," a melancholic ballad, "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie," perfect as a single but inexplicably ignored by the radio, and last but not least, the gentle "Meet Me At the Corner."
In short, a milestone that cannot be missing in the collection of a true fan, even if this "I'm with You" is significantly superior to the outdated albums the band produced in the '80s and '90s, some of which featured that loser Frusciante on guitar, now engaged in a solo career, flopping from one to another.
Many $$$aluti.

In the end, what matters is the music, and this group has composed absolutely valid tracks even in the first decade of this century.
Klinghoffer doesn’t look out of place at all, and while he is similar to his friend and illustrious predecessor, he has a personal imprint.

"Josh makes himself heard and shows he is not a clone of Frusciante, avoiding excessive virtuosity and instead using sharp, at times psychedelic riffs."
"Some songs aren’t suited to [Anthony's] vocal range and it will be quite evident live."

RHCP continue to offer us what they have been offering for fifteen years without substantial variations in quality.
Not beautiful but pleasant, not bad but avoidable.

Let's take the album for what it is: a whine.
After two songs you already hope it ends.
