Red Hot Chili Peppers - I'm With You - Album Review for Loaded Magazine

Review posted both online (HERE) and in Loaded's September issue.

-----------------------------------------------------------


I’m With You
Ten albums deep now, the Chilis return after their overwrought fi ve year hiatus with a slightly retooled bag of tricks. This time out their funk rock is spruced up with lighters-aloft acoustic guitar, swing, ’80s soft rock, and even a few rhymes. It’ll all leave you so euphoric you’ll think the cowbell used on The Adventures Of Rain Dance Maggie was imagined. It wasn’t. The tracks ooze freshness, with a snatch of songs like Monarchy Of Roses and Did I Let You Know just a release date away from being instant hits. Lightning really does strike twice – or ten times, in this case.
