TyronneChili Peppers - Warning: Extremely Hot

Artist Review
Alternative rock, Funk-Rock, Funk Metal... no matter what you do, you can't box Red Hot Chili Peppers into a single genre because, try as you might, they won't stay in there very long. They meld elements of rock, funk, rap, even blues and hip hop to create albums and hits that live into eternity. Each album to this point has attempted to move into new ground - "Blood Sugar Sex Magick" was funk and rock, "Californication" saw the move into mellower ground, and "By the Way" saw a much softer side of the Chili Peppers. But just when old fans of the Chili Peppers though that the band were dead to them, they release "Stadium Arcadium."
"we worked for a year and a half to make the epic record of our lives and it is sad to me for the business reasons of course i think we are selling something really cool and we put all we had into it, 28 songs, 2 hours of the best that we can offer and i think it is a fair deal for everyone"

I may have been wrong when I said George Clinton was the producer, but even with Rick Rubin in the hot seat, you sure could've fooled me - the introduction of trumpets into the rockier of songs, like my favourite "Torture Me" instantly tricked me into thinking that George Clinton, father of funk, was watching their moves. But Rick Rubin, who has seen them from Blood Sugar Sex Magick to Stadium Arcadium, is nevertheless doing an excellent job guiding their musical talents. Even "Humpdebump" harks back to the days of George Clinton and his posse, "Parliament" - there has always been an element of George Clinton and his drugged-up wackiness in their music, but the addition of brass, and the lack of harnesses on their music has certainly taken them to the next level.
Stadium Arcadium reaches a whole new level with Chili Peppers' music, experimenting in all aspects while retaining that unforgettable sound and style everyone has come to learn and love.
PS. So screw my categories - the pictures looked ugly. From now on, they'll just be text.

That is an awesome review, I just bought the album today, I think it's brilliant, and I was just about to write about it myself!!
I might give it a miss now though. I don't want to try to beat that!
Nice work.
Cheers.
