Listening to it now. Somehow it's comforting to hear their sound again.

Will listen to the whole thing before I comment, but so far I like it.

I've listened to the stream on iTunes, it's good and sticks to the formula Rick Rubin set them up with since By The Way. I have it on pre order , they did well withthis one.

Good album. Nothing ground breaking, but that's never something expected from the Chili Peppers.

The word that keeps coming to mind is comforting. Like an old t-shirt, favorite jeans or something.

John Frusciante is sorely missed here. At least by me. He took their songs to a whole other stratosphere. To me this album is squarely grounded on a nice familiar and comfortable place.
