I used to love the RHCP. Played the hell out of Blood Sugar Sex Magik for years. I saw them in 2000 with the Foo Fighters as opener. A show for the ages.
But I don't own any of their stuff anymore and I'd put them on a list (if I were to make a list) of "bands you used to love but now don't ever listen to anymore". I'm not completely sure why this has happened with the groups that I'd put on that list other than to say that they haven't aged well somehow, IMHO.
But in the spirit of the past, I may need to give this latest album a chance.

I felt the exact same way. For proof see a page or 2 ago. Give the new album a spin. You may not like it, but it reinvigorated my dormant love for the band. I didn’t know I needed good, new RHCP in my life as much as I did.

George Clinton isn't adding any thing to the closer.
... If you're looking for some pretty tight music that sounds like it's coming from an inspired place, it's worth checking out, imho.

Don't like These Are The Ways? Feel sorry for you. That song rocks.

At this point you really just have to be a known band to have a #1 album. Having said that, good for them.

And just a few months after having a #1 album, another new album is on the way!!!
Red Hot Chili Peppers Announce New Double Album ‘Return of the Dream Canteen’

DENVER — Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis announced the band’s second studio album of 2022, Return of the Dream Canteen, from the stage at a sold-out Empower Field at Mile High show on Saturday night.
The new album, due Oct. 14, will be produced by Rick Rubin, who also produced the band’s platinum-selling Unlimited Love in April, as well as past classic Red Hot Chili Peppers albums such as 1991’s Blood Sugar Sex Magik and 1999’s Californication. “We have a brand new double album stacked to the brim,” bassist Flea said from the stage, 40 minutes into the tour’s rainy opening show, adding that the first single will be called “Tippa My Tongue.” “It’s f–king good news, man.” The Chili Peppers have had a strong commercial year: In April, Unlimited Love hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with 97,500 album equivalent units moved, marking the band’s first LP to top the listing since Stadium Arcadium in 2006. Lead single “Black Summer” also reached the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 78, and topped Billboard‘s Alternative Airplay listing for four weeks, marking their record 14th No. 1 on that chart. Meanwhile, the band is on its first-ever stadium tour, which includes Empower Field, and drew 50,000 fans for Saturday’s show with Haim and Thundercat. The tour is the band’s first with guitarist John Frusciante, a core member during the band’s ’90s and ’00s commercial and artistic peak, in 15 years.

From email:
"We went in search of ourselves as the band that we have somehow always been. Just for the fun of it we jammed and learned some old songs. Before long we started the mysterious process of building new songs. A beautiful bit of chemistry meddling that had befriended us hundreds of times along the way. Once we found that slip stream of sound and vision, we just kept mining. With time turned into an elastic waistband of oversized underwear, we had no reason to stop writing and rocking. It felt like a dream. When all was said and done, our moody love for each other and the magic of music had gifted us with more songs than we knew what to do with. Well we figured it out. 2 double albums released back to back. The second of which is easily as meaningful as the first or should that be reversed. 'Return of the Dream Canteen' is everything we are and ever dreamed of being. It’s packed. Made with the blood of our hearts."
Yours Truly,
The Red Hot Chili Peppers.

Same here. Bought all their albums up to BSSM. After that, they seem to have changed into a very bland band. What happened to that hard metal edge? I checked their set list from the current tour and they play very little that pre-dates One Hot Minute. It’s clear that their tedious MOR soul-funk sells well.
