Their first album in just under six years, the Chilli Peppers have topped rock album charts around the world with this new release, which is their best-selling record since 2006’s ‘Stadium Arcadium’.

What ‘Unlimited Love’ does so well is that you can clearly hear the sounds that made us first fall in love with the band - sliding guitar melodies, the dexterous groove of their baselines and Anthony Kiedis’ swaggering spitting of lyrics - but freshened up in the form of new songs that actually sound like new songs.
