So how do RHCP sound five years later (they released their last album I'm With You in 2011)? It is certainly not insignificant that after twenty-five years they changed the producer: instead Nick Rubin, who helped them create their most recognizable expression, they engaged Danger Mous and his subtle sense of a fuller soundstage. Nevertheless, the core still remains the core, Fela's guitar and Kiedis' vocals. They certainly showed that with the new album they can still sound solid, even good.
