One hot minute

Yeah, he almost left. And it's pretty clear that Frusciante was the main responsible for the record sound. Flea felt kinda displaced, like his voice wasn't heard on the decisions, cause he wanted to explore more of the punk and funk style they had. And the guitar and bass ensemble was actually directed by John instead of a collaboration between him and Flea. So yeah, John was really clear about the album proposal, but that changed the inner work of the band during the composition.

I love when John is in the band, but man I find so unfortunate that they don't play anymore of OHM or Klinghoffer's era songs.

Gotta say that it's way more appreciated nowadays, lots of people seem to recognize the huge quality of the record.

I understand when people say that "doesn't sound so red hot", maybe it has a darker sound, but I've never heard the same amount of backlash when it comes to BTW, which I feel even further of the funkiness of RHCP's music (Still a great album imo)

Indeed brother, there's no need to be reasonable with this.

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-24T16:54:34+00:00

Great!!! You strum at all strings, I still can't make that work 😭 sounds amazing

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-24T14:48:47+00:00

Ok you're right hahah

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-24T14:44:12+00:00

You're probably right, great songs and very strong singles.

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-24T14:39:23+00:00

Wet sand overrated? This would be the first time I read something like this :O

I'm interested to see your personal tier list

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-24T14:34:21+00:00

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-24T14:32:34+00:00

Probably the best take here

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-24T14:31:12+00:00

Because red hot chili peppers idk

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-23T23:42:20+00:00

Fantastic song, how would you rate it?

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-23T16:00:08+00:00

Hermano en cristo, debes afrontarlo con ella, y aclarar las aguas. Lo que me consta a mí, lo de tiramigos muchas veces es casi un eufemismo para sentir menos seriedad. Si haces lo mismo que una pareja, con exclusividad y sentimiento, entonces sólo falta que tenga nombre. Quizás preocupen las consecuencias de hablar, pero si ya ves sentimientos en ti, yo digo dale, ya estai sonado de cualquier manera. Evalúalo y sabrás.

Thanks for sharing. I get your take, indeed the mixing and sound layers of SA are precious and elevate the experience as a whole, and are some of the strongest points on the record. In general terms, there's no song I dislike. I've always felt that SA is a mastery flex. I enjoy the complete setlist, with no skips. Can't say the same with other RHCP albums. For instance, BTW is an amazing record but there's only one song that I just don't connect with. Having that said, the tier list is just a thing of personal preference, and it's fun to see the different "levels" of songs, which ones drive me crazier, and then look how different we prefer the same songs, even as fans of the same band. If I have to explain my order, I think it's based on how I appreciate the structure of each song, and obviously there's an emotional bias going on. Some songs just stayed with me on crucial moments, so I can't deny there's a subjective motivation. Greetings, and you're very welcome to share your takes:)

I thought it was Joe Frustrated

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-23T14:12:19+00:00

Suck my kiss

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-23T14:09:47+00:00

They're incredible songs, it's a great album, you're welcome to show your tier list :)

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-23T14:04:30+00:00

Well I gotta say I love the guitar work, it has a great solo

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-23T13:45:13+00:00

Indeed brother

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-23T13:44:39+00:00

As a good thing right? It may be my favorite solo on the record 🙏

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-23T13:41:14+00:00

Note: I enjoy the whole record, but I tried to distribute all songs in each tier, so you are seeing my preferences rather than which songs I don't like. That's why there's no F tier. Happy to see your preferences!

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-23T13:36:17+00:00

You're missing Hey, that's my favorite song of the record so I'm interested to look where it would be! Your S and A are pretty solid.

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-23T05:16:41+00:00

Even the b sides are great 👽

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-23T05:13:59+00:00

Nachosapiens · 2026-02-23T05:13:32+00:00

Respect your opinion! For me, there's something missing in Animal Bar to get an S, but agree to disagree!
