"Unlimited Love" is the first full-length release in six years for the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, is also the first with John Frusciante since 2006's "Stadium Arcadium".
"Unlimited Love" is the twelfth studio album, released through Warner Records on April 1, 2022. Produced by Rick Rubin, the album reunites the band with both Rubin, who did not take part in the recording of their previous album, "The Getaway", and guitarist John Frusciante, who left in 2009 and rejoined in 2019, replacing Josh Klinghoffer. The band have gone through countless iterations during the years, although their core lineup of frontman Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, drummer Chad Smith and guitarist John Frusciante are responsible for their biggest tunes. So it's with a warm welcome to hear Frusciante’s magical style of playing again.
The album contains seventeen tunes with a clock time over seventy minutes of playtime can almost be a little overwhelming, but hey it's the Peppers so it's fine. Overall I do like what I hear, old school sounds mixed with a little new attempt at renewal, the album just flows nicely and is full of surprises along the way. From the first powerful anthem "Black Summer", the lead single and opening track gives the album a kickstart. The rest of the songs on "Unlimited Love" are not quite as moving and direct, but oh so interesting. "Whatchu Thinkin" and "Let ‘Em Cry" do possess the great flow and groove. The glittering funk piece "She’s A Lover" and Flea's licks in "Aquatic Mouth Dance". The moody and half paced "Not The One" is a great love song and "Bastards Of Light" is an intressting tune with a cool groove and some heavier riffings in the middle of the track. "These Are The Ways" is a song that stands out a bit and offers some sonic experiments with some breakdowns and feels very progressive. The funky "Poster Child" offers fast vocal licks with a great lyrics by Anthony Kiedis... lol. The album "Unlimited Love" is a great listen where you can still hear their enthusiasm burning after all these years and it sounds like they had a great time in the studio, looking forward to catch them live soon.
Sum: Great grooves from Flea, Frusciante, Smith and Kiedis, you need this!
