I understand the hate for any Red Hot Chili Peppers album post One Hot Minuet, but their first 5 albums are phenomenal

Totally agree with this. Stadium is a monster of an album in my eyes.
I've broken two Mother's Milk tapes listening to them too much.
To say they are a bad band means you don't know anything about them or music in general.

Still my all time favorites. Definitely the opposite of a band with just a few good singles. Many albums are amazing front to back, and almost everything Frusciante does is genius IMO, form simple to complex. Great mixing too minus Californiation , though the last album is the first that I pretty much don't like overall. :(
It's this, especially when it comes to music. The one poster who commented that they "skip all the singles and only listen to the rest" is the epitope of smelling your own farts.
I was aware of and respected them growing up but they didn't interest me until Blood Sugar which is an excellent record, possibly in my top ten. And never cared for another album ever, though again respect them and they are in the "would never pick it but if someone was playing it wouldn't ask to change it" category for me.
And obviously flea is an interesting guy.

I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but the backlash against RHCP in the past decade feels similar to the backlash against Friends. Maybe both of them were institutions for me growing up, but I loved them and am still fond of them despite recognizing how silly they are as cultural entities and not revisiting them with any regularity. One Hot Minute is straight gas.
Sure we can all agree that Anthony has written some god awful lyrics though.
This thread is nuts. RHCP's style changed post BSSM but their quality did not suffer. Californication, By The Way AND Stadium Arcadium are phenomenal but not as bass/funk heavy. Frusciante's influence is definitely more apparent than Fleas on BTW & SA, so the sound is different but the quality is still very high.
I didn't love the last project but the first post-Frusciante project wasn't terrible. They went through a similar, albeit significantly less jarring shift in sound as Radiohead did.

People overlook By the Way and it's a shame. It is such a beautiful album that explores a lot of different sounds. It's only negative is Rick Rubin's production. Loudness war nonsense.
