Mischievous funk-pop champs Red Hot Chili Peppers revel in the full breadth of their creative muscle on this monster double album. Stadium Arcadium weaves intimate indie, slick power pop and the band’s signature dirty funk into a commanding tapestry. There’s room for percussive dancehall sizzle (“Hump de Bump”), shimmering classic rock (“Strip My Mind”), old-school pop-punk (“Make You Feel Better”), and minimalist New Wave-cum-glam (“Turn It Again”). A vivid, kaleidoscopic document of outsized talent working perfectly in harmony.
