Their first single is rarely the best of the album too.

I always loved how with their album releases you'd hear the first single and be like wow, okay good, this album's gonna be pretty awesome... but when you hear the actual album there are ALWAYS better songs than the first single.

They do that every time!

Flea is sad that the album leaked.


Date: Tues, May 2
Subject:
From: "Michael Balzary"
To: members@redhotchilipeppers.com

when i woke up this morning
i was was confronted with the news that our record has been leaked to
the internet
it does not come out til may 9 but now it has leaked
and not that i know alot about this kind of thing
but i guess now it is possible to down load it for free if you want
well
that's not very nice
if you down load it now off one of these file sharing sites
you will be getting a pale imitation of the record
it will be of the poor sound quality of the technique they used to
get it on there
and that will break my heart
it will break john frusciante's heart
it will break anthony kiedis's heart
and it will break the heart of chad smith
yes, 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
and for people to just steal a poor sound quality version of it for free
because some asshole stole it and put it on the internet
is sad to me
but, equitable business reasons aside
the thing that really bums me out is
we worked so hard, and so thoughtfully, all of us, for so long
to make this record sound as warm and full from top to bottom
as was possible
we spent day and night for a year making sure every little sound was
just right
that they were all put together in the most beautiful way we could
we did not leave a stone unturned in doing that work
i can not put in words how much this record, stadium arcadium, means
to us
how sacred the sound of it is to us
and how many sleepless nights and hardworking days we all had
thinking about how to make it be the best sounding thing we could
and now, for someone to take it and put it out there with this poor
sound quality
it is a painful pill for us to swallow
let me tell you
this bums all of us out
and i know that, as sensitive as john frusciante is about sound
the idea of anyone getting and hearing this thing that way
will devastate him
for people to not hear the work the way we meant it to be
will really hurt him deep inside
and all of us will hurt

yes, it is stealing from us, and that is lame
everyone has to live with their own conscience on that one
let it be your guide
but to take a version that has been defiled sound wise
a version in which some idiot has taken our year and a half of soul
baring work and pissed all over it
that will break our hearts

sincerely,

flea

Flea,

I loved ya in Back to the Future II, but dude.........cds are overpriced. In the days of modern technology every listener is most likely guilty of music piracy.
I'm sorry to say, that many people all over the world are taking away the "business aspect" of your new record.
Also, I do understand where you're coming from. No matter how sad you feel it will not stop music piracy.
Final word: guess the Chili Peppers best not stop touring, eh??? That's where the "business" is. In the meantime, we're stickin' it to "the man".

Sincerely yours,
Doctor Emmitt Brown (1955)

I'm listening to the new cd right now. I like it thus far but it's going to take me a while to digest all these new songs.

I love the picture of Flea with the sailor's cap in the pamphlet. :lol:
Oh, and the album is pretty good, too.
You set my soul alight.

I don't know. I bought the CD yesterday and I don't really think it's all that great. Mind you, I'm a huge RHCP fan but anytime you release an album with 28 songs on it, you're bound to get a few songs that not everyone is going to like. With that said, it's a solid album and it is definately worth buying...just not their best work. I think Flea's talking the album up a bit too much...

I agree with Reza... i lurrve RHCP, but i don't love what i've heard so far and i'm suspicious of all double albums. i'm sure there will be some songs i'll really like, but i don't think i'm going to buy the CD just yet.
