已经将近四年没有发片的Red Hot Chili Peppers在著名制作人理克 鲁宾(Rick Rubin)的协助之下，终于为歌迷们交出了这张重量级的双张专辑Stadium Arcadium。本张专辑一经发行，便在多个国家的音乐排行榜中夺冠。在美国，Stadium Arcadium在发行第一周不仅创造了Red Hot Chili Peppers单周专辑销量的最高纪录，而且还成为了他们在Billboard 200专辑榜中的首张冠军专辑。相对于近几年颇为沉寂的主流摇滚乐坛，这套双张的Stadium Arcadium真的可以算作是一张惊喜之作。在多样化的编曲，流畅上口的旋律中，这四位美国摇滚老顽童的魅力尽现。毫不夸张的说，这张Stadium Arcadium是完全有实力和Red Hot Chili Peppers的经典之作Blood Sugar Sex Magik与Californication相媲美的一张专辑。

2002 album.

专辑简介这是他们进入华纳后的第一张唱片，主唱Anthony Kiedis，吉他手John Frusciante、贝斯手Flea和鼓手Chad Smith花的长达半年多的时间完成这件大作，他们还请了摇滚界最顶尖制作人Rick Rubin (The Beastie Boys、Faith No More、Pearl Jam、Smashing Pumpkins)前来布阵，最后从25首作品中精挑了17首放在上专辑中，如此超值的数据再加上将Hip-Hop、Rap、Hard Core、Heavy Metal、Punk相互事例的超载试验，果真一网打尽所有的音乐群众。

"Road Trippin’ Through Time" is a radio station issued promo CD featuring 18 of the band’s biggest hits from the Warner Brothers era and in radio edited format.
The Chili Peppers are due to release their 10th studio album soon, and perhaps as part of the fanfare around that milestone release, or perhaps, more prosaically, to refamiliarise listeners with their sound after the break since the last album, they’ve decided to fill the gap with this “Best Of” collection.
It may prove to be a bit much in the same time period for shoppers with a limited budget, but Road Trippin’... does what the best hits collections always do – remind you just how much of your life has been soundtracked by a particular band.

当The Red Hot Chili Peppers乐队1995年发行了那张暗淡无光的专辑“One Hot Minute”之后，许多人都说，Chili Peppers的无可争辩的另类之王的时代已经结束了。然而，就象凤凰还能从灰烬中燃烧着飞出一样，1999年，Chili Peppers这只传奇乐队带着他们的专辑“Californication”又重新辉煌地站到了人们面前。
在“Californication”中，主唱Anthony Kiedis的演唱也有了戏剧性的改进。在节奏部分，贝司手Flea和鼓手Chad Smith仍然保持着最佳的摇滚节奏。这个四人组合的标志性和独特的乐风是朋克FUNK，专辑中的“Around the World”，“I Like Dirt”和“Parallel Universe”是乐队这种风格的典型作品。乐队这次还给了乐迷们一些惊喜，几首偏于流行风格的歌曲“Scar Tissue”，“Otherside”，“Easily”和“Purple Stain”都有着很强的旋律和非常易记上口的歌词。除此之外，这张专辑里还有象他们92年的金曲“Under the Bridge”一样柔美、精致的作品，如“Porcelain”，“Road Trippin”和专辑的主题曲“Californication”。
乐手们多年来的配合，使他们在演奏中心心相映，加上主唱Kiedis的优秀的状态，足以能使“Californication”成为The Red Hot Chili Peppers的又一张经典专辑。

Red Hot Chili Peppers are set to return with a brand new album called The Getaway on June 17th. Due out through Warner Bros., the 13-track LP includes production from Danger Mouse as well as mixing from Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich.
The Getaway serves as the long-awaited follow-up to 2011’s I’m With You. It also marks the first Chili Peppers release not produced by Rick Rubin since 1989’s Mother Milk.
