The Word On... Red Hot Chili Peppers, I'm With You
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference."Much like Bono — who donned his old black leather suit from the early '90s on U2's latest tour — Kiedis and Flea have a vested financial interest in playing roles they've long outgrown. But as the forgettable 'I'm With You' shows, there's adifference between surviving and thriving." avclub.com
"The single 'The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie' exemplifies the Chilis' main problem here: a promising set of verses marred by a plodding, nothing chorus... 'I'm With You' is a solid, decent enough tenth album, but it's far from vital." bbc.co.uk/music
"What hurts 'I'm With You' is what has plagued the last few Chili Peppers releases: Kiedis' vocal tones... Lyrically, he may be sharper, but melodically he comes off as increasingly predictable." consequenceofsound.net
