Recently, I've been listening to the Red Hot Chili Peppers last album, "By The Way." I'd have to say this is probably my favorite of theirs to date. Some may be turned off since it's a great departure from what most are used to hearing from them, but I particulary like it 'cause it's so different. There's less funk and more melody, but the underlying smoothness remains. It's as if they took some of their more thoughtful songs from some of their albums and expanded upon those musical ideas. Favorite songs include: the title track By The Way, Can't Stop, Venice Queen, and Cabron.

If you haven't picked up this album yet, and are a fan, shame on you. If you aren't a fan, shame on you again. Buy this album. If you aren't fully convinced, then download these songs, and then buy the album. Everyone's entitled to their opinion, and this one just happens to be mine.
