The Red Hot Chili Peppers New Album "Stadium Arcadium"

This is easily one of my top 25 albums ever I think. When I bought it, the audiophile at the record store said something like, "It's like a 'Greatest Hits album' of new songs." I was a bit skeptical, and was expecting something between a one trick pony and the standard mediocrity of bands in their middle age. I was proven most delightfully wrong. As usually happens with me and the Chili Peppers, it's not the track that gets the most radio play that I like the most, (though 'Dani California' is a good song) it's the entire album as it fits together. I don't know if RHCP built Stadium Arcadium as a concept album or an 'art' piece, but both discs and all 20+ songs on them really do flow together musically and lyrically. I recommend it highly.
