Red Hot Chili Peppers - One Hot Minute

This could be called “The RHCP album with Dave Navarro”.  Or more accurately, it could be called “The RHCP album without John Frusciante”.  This album could be used as evidence as why chemistry is so important in a band.  Dave Navarro is no slouch as a guitarist.  He’s got the chops, he’s got the feel, he’s a good songwriter.  But he’s the wrong fit for the RHCP.  When the lead singer and the bass guitarist (one of the best bass guitarists ever at that) are still in the band you would think it would be business as usual.  But something isn’t quite right here.  That’s not to say that there aren’t good songs on this album (My Friends and Aeroplane are both good), but overall it feels like they’re missing an important element.
