Stadium Arcadium [2CD] RHCP
Posted by: Drone on 23 October 2006
Hi,
My two teenagers are currently playing this newly purchased CD by the Red Hot Chili Peppers on my system. I have to admit it's a cracking recording.
Are there any other recordings by these people of the same sound quality please?

Hi D,
I'm a big RHCP fan, especially of their earlier stuff and have to say that the earlier stuff is dreadfully recorded. Although from a performance point of view you owe it to yourself to get Californication, its a cracking record, but even this (its only a few years old) is pretty ropey in places as far as recording quality goes.

I'll second the recording quality of most RHCP (No1 son has everything they have done I think) output is pretty ropey (see bandwidth thread). I quite like the actual music though.

Hi
Disappointed to learn no other RHCP CDs of good sound quality.
My son's just told me that he already has Californication. I will have a listen to that CD tonight.
Thanks

Just to second Liam's comments - "By The Way" by the RHCP sounds very good and IMO its a much better album than Stadium Arcadium (Good as it is..!)

The Stadium Arcadium cd is pretty compressed and well known for it.
The original master tapes are supposed to sound wonderful and you'll be able to hear it properly when the double 200gr lp comes out in a few weeks.

Hi
Well the Californication CD had some interesting tracks, but recorded quality compared to Stadium Arcadium was a disappointment.
Stadium Arcadium compressed? Not on my Naim system. I put this question to my 19 year old son who plays guitar and my 16 year old daughter who plays piano. Both thought the recording was very open and detailed in presentation. Perhaps my son's Stadium Arcadium CD is a revised copy?

Hi Count.d,
It's interesting that you stated the Stadium Arcadium cd is compressed. I thought it sounded detailed and open on my system. My son and daughter also thought so.
If you don't mind me asking, why do you say it's compressed?

Count.d

Or American? They are sometimes much better than the Euro copy.
John (JN) tipped me off on this and particularly with US artists, the US CD is usually better. I've done a few comparisons and replaced the Euro copy as a result.
