Here's what critics are saying about "I'm With You":
"Bassist Flea and especially vocalist Anthony Kiedis shine brightest on this material, which is eminently danceable, propulsive, slinky and engaging." --
"And while they're still the house band for watching the Golden State sink into the ocean, they're making sure that the beach bums left behind have an excellently heavy soundtrack for the after-party." --
"The peak moments on 'I'm With You' balance swagger and sensitivity." --
"Kiedis and Red Hot Chili Peppers sound more alive than ever before on 'I'm With You' their brand new masterpiece." -- (5 out of 5 stars)
"There's no arguing with Flea, nor the rhythm section, nor the band's tastes in guitarists." --
"There remains a youthful pop sensibility to the band's brand of funk, and this is their liveliest record in a decade. 'I'm With You' proves the Peppers are very much alive." --
"Flea is... one of the greatest (if not the greatest) bassists on planet Earth." --
One of the most successful acts in rock history, Red Hot Chili Peppers, which is singer Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, drummer, Chad Smith, and guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, have sold more than 60 million albums, including five multi-platinum LPs, and won six Grammy Awards, including "Best Rock Album" for "Stadium Arcadium," "Best Rock Performance By a Duo or Group" for "Dani California," "Best Rock Song" for "Scar Tissue," and "Best Hard Rock Performance With Vocal" for "Give It Away."
