I'm not a big fan of Red Hot Chili Peppers but I've heard a couple of tracks from this album and I really like it
What do others think?
I love some of the cuts on this, but the album as a whole isn't as polished as I'd hope— would've trimmed it down to about 39mins—
First issue for me were the scattered tracks with vocals. Flea's performance on A Plea kinda ruins the track, and I'd sadly argue Nick Cave completely missed the mark on Wichita Lineman— in a somewhat 'this almost fits' performance, Thom Yorke has a solid vocal feature (and should have stuck as the only one)— but— had the album just been the opening, a vocal-less A Plea, Traffic Lights, Frailed (+ another track of similar nature), his covers of Maggot Brain & Thinkin Bout You (top notch), Willow Weep for Me and Free As I Want To Be? Would've been really solid—
It's a mixed bag with major potential and great highs, but I think that's all it'll ever be—
As a fully composed work, it's disjointed—
If you want, listen to Frailed, Thinkin Bout You & Traffic Lights— if you like them, listen to the rest— _________________ Doubles & Conch

That's realty helpful Hayden. Really appreciate you taking the time to feedback.
I thought that the Thom Yorke track, Traffic Lights, was really good which is what peaked my interest in the album
I might keep the album on my Wishlist but it's not going to get a bump just yet. I don't mind disjointed as long as there are some diamonds in there to keep me interested.

Yeah— Frailed and his cover of Thinkin Bout You are bops— two of my favourite tracks of the year so far— _________________ Doubles & Conch
Had this recommended to me as a great funk / soul album but don’t know much about it. Any thoughts?
This one's on my wishlist too. O.V. Wright is a great singer. I heard "He's My Son (Just The Same)" on a comp and it's a great track - haven't heard anything else from this. _________________ Join us in the canon game :) / Add me on RYM

Thanks for that baystate. I've tracked down a couple of tracks since I posted this and I'm really impressed. Definitely staying on my Wishlist and thanks for taking the time to comment. Really appreciated
Another Peter Green connected pick. Never seen a copy so this may never get into my collection but just in case it ends up on my radar, anyone have any thoughts?
