The Red Hot Chili Peppers, a band that formed nearly 23 years ago, still draws crowds and its fan base is still growing.

One can see why at the band’s concerts. Every performance is filled with creativity and genius that has lasted decades and is captured on eight studio albums.

The band’s recent ninth release, Stadium Arcadium, is no exception to the band’s legacy of musical excellence.

With 28 full-length tracks, the band’s new set is a musically diverse, yet professional piece of art.

While each track is unique, it’s not possible to speak about each song individually. In fact, the album is so massive that the listener is left with a set worthy of buying.

Rather, fans should know that while signature tracks boost the popularity of each album, the entire album is full of creativity and a warm sound.

The first single, “Dani California” has taken the country by storm.

The song features an upbeat rhythm and very catchy chorus that return the Chili Peppers back to their days of Californiacation.

After moving about the album, though, fans will discover even better hits such as “Snow” and the title-cut, “Stadium Arcadium.”

“Snow” has one of the most melodic and unique guitar introductions of music written since 2000.

The song progresses into the familiar Chili Peppers’ pounding of drums, guitars and very familiar vocals of singer Anthony Kiedis.

“Stadium Arcadium” is a very slow, yet fun song full of simple lyrics and raw emotion.

Fans may wonder with such tracks how the Chili Peppers can ever return to their raw funk style that made them famous in the first place.

Songs like “Hump De Bump” and “Warlocks” do answer just that question and give older fans a very memorable treat without ruining the harmonic tone of the album.

Other songs recommended to fans are “Hey” and “C’mon Girl.”

Both emphasize guitarist John Frusciante and provide radio-worthy lyrics.

Fans will be even more pleased when they realize that the previous songs are merely the beginning to the musical journey this album offers.

Stadium Arcadium features two-discs labeled “Mars” and “Venus.”

Even better, the second CD lives up to the high popularity of the first.

“Tell me Baby” is one of the greatest hybrids of original Chili Peppers funk and smooth, modern rock.

“Hard to Concentrate” continues the journey with a very warm and calm bass line.

Enjoyable guitars don’t stop as the album progresses into “She Looks to Me.”

The song features slick lyrics, catchy drumming, and Frusciante’s signature guitar rhythms that were featured on previous singles “Scar Tissue” and “Under the Bridge.”

Although it’s difficult to discuss the rest of the tracks in one single article, there are a few key songs that finish the album on a good note.

“Storm in a Teacup” brings back Kiedis’ wacky rap-like style with edgy guitars and slamming drums.

“If” gives a lullaby-type song that balances the album’s already excellent mix of tone.

Finally, “Death of a Martian” is a suitable ending to the album’s planetary theme.

The song even features a rare guitar reverb effect that gives the piece a very calming, yet, progressive tone.

Whether you are a Red Hot Chili Peppers fan from the days of Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik or a new listener, Stadium Arcadium continues to show off the band at its best.

The new album is worth every dollar spent and will provide radio-friendly content for years to come.

Fans can also catch the Chili Peppers as the band travels across the country on its new tour.

Based on the band’s latest set, though, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have shown that they will continue to be one of the most influential rock bands of all time.
