Really?


Absolutely. RHCP makes music to fit with the lowest common denominator in mind, be it mass consumers or Anthony. Their style is very confining to John's abilities. He's a better lyricist and singer (my opinion) than Anthony. Plus, Flea often provides the more complex bass parts on John's albums.

That said, The Empyrean is a better album than anything in the RHCP catalog. Also, the depth and breadth of his studio/production work is extremely impressive (Warpaint, The Mars Volta).

I like John's solo work but this is hyperbole. Blood Sugar Sex Magic is up there with the greats as far as being a great album from beginning to end.
