now im asking the hard questions ok: whats yalls cut off album when it comes to the RHCP discography (i know i know, none are good :roll my eyes: *pretend to laugh*) for me it's the singles on By The Way. best singles/worst album. everything before it is perfect everything after it is unlistenable Oh man, that's another group the music industry loves a lot. By The Way singles were EVERYWHERE in high school, Stadium Arcadium was huge when I was in college, they were unescapable then. I always wanted to check in and see if their 80s output or the Dave Navarro album was cool, but as a big Faith No More/Mr. Bungle fan, I kind of chose my side in that beef already.

ALSO:
technically SOAD only had 3 albums - steal this album was outtake material from toxicity/self titled, and mezmerize/hypnotize is meant to be seen as two parts that make up a cohesive double album. the only reason they were released separately was so to not intimidate fans with the prospect of *having* to listen to the whole thing in the full. smart move, kind of prophetic for how the average listener treats music on streaming, even if its not even that long. i think both albums combined is only barley an hour and 20 mins. you could prob fit both albums into a single disc.
I think both albums combined go just over 80 minutes. They kind of talk around it, but I think you kind of get the idea that the rest of their albums were set up as a way to speed through their contract. That band was never afraid to be goofy, though, so it works out. Despite all that, I would say that Steal This Album actually counts as a separate full length. No alt takes/demos, live tracks or other stuff that record companies usually load those albums up with, and they still played a lot of those songs live, too.

I shouldn't forget the main reason behind the genius of splitting this into 2 albums...there is a tab that allows you to combine the sleeves so that one whole cohesive image can be formed, and you can see this entire painting as one! If that doesn't sell you on these albums, I don't know what will.
