I appreciate songs like 'My Friends', 'Aeroplane' and especially 'Falling Into Grace', so I wouldn't say that I hate it. It's not my favourite album, but I really like parts of it even if they're somewhat different.

It's an interesting thought that the songs may be more popular if John played on them and somehow I don't think that John would've done the songs the same way. But if they sounded the same, I guess that they would be more popular because some people don't listen to it because they think about the circumstances under which the album had been created.

YAY!

[neonher]

i like the album
its just not my favorite
the hole sound of the album is different
i like but i like the other sounds better
and i really think dave navarro is a douche bag
i just dont like him

[goofyrat]

"shallow be thy game" is such a "john" style track, fair play to dave on that one its immense

[LouisGilbrook]

Definite 'yay', in many ways my favourite.

But in many ways not...

I like to pretend that it doesn't exist.

To me, it's not that it's not John Frusciante. It's more of the fact that Dave Navarro is mimicking John's style. I can remember the first time i listened to the One Hot Minute album, I thought it sounded like John, but not quite. I don't know.... it's just too different yet too alike for me.... if that makes any sense...

[glycerineclown]

Anthony's lyrics haven't been quite this good since, I think.

[Flavia(HdB)]

I love it. It's an amazing album. And very underrated.

[Frumeister]

A clunker of a mistake, and they know it. What too much drugs, giant egos and no bs detector will do. The lowest point in their career. I dont know how even the most hardcore fan can like this even a smidgen, and I've so tried. Sorry

[orangevarld]

How I rate the songs :

Warped : not bad

Aeroplane : quite good

Deep Kick : not good

My Friends : very good

Coffee Shop : not good

Pea : very good

One Big Mob : very good (yes!)

Walkabout : good

Tearjerker : very good (the best one of the album)

One Hot Minute : not bad

Falling Into Grace : very good

Shallow By The Game : not good

Transcending : quite good


Bonus :

Bob : quite good

Melancholy Mechanics : very good



I don't like hardcore, but all is not hardcore, and even some "hardcore" song are good.

A good album for me, even if I always skip some songs. But that's clear that the albums with John are much more better.

I agree. I like it way better than the pop stuff they've been making since Californication.

[GoingInside]

At the moment I really like 'My Friends', I have it on constant repeat.
I kinda don't think of One Hot Minute as being by the Chili Peppers, I think of it as being by a band that happens to have Flea, Chad, and Anthony in but is not the chili peppers. To me calling the band the Red Hot Chili Peppers without having John in it feels kind of.....wrong or incomplete in some way.
If that made any sense at all, lol.

[neonher]

yea like after this album they have made mostly pop
like i absolutely love the frist 5 album but now their
popish i still love their music just not as much

[horriblemashup]

i love this record

why do people hate this record because they don't like dave AS A PERSON? its about the music and i also disagree that dave is trying to sound like john. dave has a completely original style and if you listened with an open mind without thinking about how its not john, you would probably realise this (also listen to jane's addiction).

it seems to me that john doesn't play the songs from ohm out of respect for dave, because theyre songs he wrote guitar parts for (and since there are so many guitar tracks they are also pretty hard to play live anyway). dave had no choice but to play john songs and its awkward and everybody knows it (im sure dave does), but cmon they HAD to play john songs since they were popular singles and he by no means was trying to "be john"

the band has their own reasons that they don't really like the record, and it always seems to me that people are way too influenced by that and cannot even appreciate the music at all

its just the "alt rock" sound that was going on around the 90s. nothing hardcore here

[horriblemashup]

also listen to this

and skip to 4:46 and watch that and tell me that dave navarro is trying to copy johns style. thats a unique thing

actually if you watch the whole dave master sessions videos on youtube you will see how dave works musically and it also shows (imo) that hes a friendly ego-less dude (just ignoring the nipple rings and stuff)

Jesus dude, get over it. Of course it has nothing to do with Dave as a person, that would be ridiculous. He was fine in JA, just didnt work with the Peppers chemistry, plain and simple. Theyve admitted this in countless interviews as well, sometimes blatant, sometimes veiled. Its just a lame album to me and it really shows. Most people here seem to like it though, and tha'ts all good as well. Just let it rest.

As for someone mentioning the pop element post OHM? What's so wrong with that? Theres so much more diversity and growth to revel in with their rejuvenation. I cant believe how much the modern Peppers gets dissed by the same token
