It's a really great album and RHCP is one of the few bands that really changes and evolves their sound constantly.
And they definitely aren't doing the same song over and over again....
If you are a long term peppers fan some of it might seem a little soft but they have some of their funkiest songs in a long time on there too so it's a good mix.
I picked it up for 13$, .50 cents a song is a good deal so I would recommend it.
