Customer Ratings & Reviews

One of my favorite bands is back with a wonderful album. Not what you would imagine but truley a Chilli Pepper album! The album transcends like their transformation through time. Love it!

Red Hot Chili Peppers have been one of my favorite bands for years and years and this is definitely one of their best albums yet.

Super as a gift! They loved it! Now they anticipate what they will get for my next CD gift for them!

C’mon it’s the chili peppers with this excellent 2016 release....good listen

not as great as BSSM, but definitely one of their better ones!

Great upbeat music, one of my favorites from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

This album is a definite departure from their 90s and 2000s work, but the Chili Peppers take the direction they set out on in 2011's middling I'm With You and soar. Danger Mouse's sometimes-haunting, sometimes-psychedelic production adds a new layer to the Peppers' already solid songwriting, and Josh Klinghoffer has truly come into his own as the band's new guitarist and a true successor to Frusciante. As always, Kiedis, Flea, and Smith are in perfect sync, and they are more than happy to play along and explore. A good buy for an RHCP fan of any era. Favorite tracks: Feasting on the Flowers, The Hunter, Dark Necessities

If you are a fan of the Red Hot Chili Peppers you probably dont need this review. If you have heard songs like Dani California and Under The Bridge and wonder if this CD is for you...YES. If you are one of the many who purchased "I'm With You" and wonder if the old sound is gone, fret no more. The Getaway is the Peppers getting back to what they do best, The single "Dark Necessities" is not a fluke. The CD is rock solid and worth multiple listens I think I have played it 10 times already and am not sick of any of it... Plus how can you NOT love an album that contains the line "I call my best friend Flea" (from the song This Ticonderoga)

Some of you may be hesitant, it's been five years since I'm With You, but if you're a true fan of RHCP you'll love this album. Depending on your familiarity with the band, you'll notice they go back to their roots periodically throughout the album while also maintaining a fresh funky sound. Starts out fast and heavy then mellows out with The Longest Wave. This band has gone through a lot through the years, between drug addiction, to mixing up band members, to a recent change in producers. Nonetheless, RHCP still knows how to go into the studio and turn out an amazing album. Long live RHCP!

They were serious when they had said that this would be a polarizing album... Don't get me wrong, this is a good, solid record, but from more of a "grown up" band, not the Peppers. Josh is a great musician, and a very decent replacement for John Frusciante. Still, RHCP were waaaaay better when John was still around. Just my 2 cents.

This new album definitely won't disappoint. I purchased it about a month ago and it is still in my CD player. The band continues to evolve while maintaining their funky roots. Every song is catchy and it is easy to find yourself singing along. Compared to their last album, the new guitarist's presence is better heard through some sweet funky riffs that go along with flea's thumb-thumping bass lines very well.

I am a huge Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. I have almost all of their albums. This is an amazing album. The getaway has some great songs on it ranging from pop rock funk. I strongly recommend this new CD from RHCP great quality and great price! Only con is that it is a floppy case not a regular CD case, which i guess is part of saving the band money and changing producers for this record.

I've been a long Red Hot Chili Peppers fan. Although The Getaway will not be remembered as a classic, it remains a good album. In my opinion, it is better than its predecessor. It sounds more pop than funk but this shouldn't be a surprise by now. Will I listen to it for many years to come? No. However, it is still better than most music being released today.

RHCP don't exactly reinvent themselves with every new release, but they occasionally take a left turn. No matter where they end up, the result is always great - as with this album. A lot of 70's funk and soul blended into their trademark sound. Different than their last couple of albums - but very good, and fans of their work won't be disappointed.

Music is tough to describe, and highly subjective, but I warn any purchaser of this: Don't go into this album expecting another Blood/Sugar or Californication. This is a record of laidback California tunes mostly absent the manic energy of earlier RHCP. It took me a few listens to appreciate this, but now I quite like it.

Almost as good as I'm with you from 2011. Gets better with each listen. New guitarist josh Is a good replacement for John fruciante, even though Josh's melodic guitars are missed

I listened to this album online when it first came out and thought it sucked. It takes awhile to get it and it's pretty good. The guitars are muted due to Josh's style. At first I didn't like and now I like the album and gave a second try. Thanks Best Buy for putting it on sale nearly a month ago.

I absolutely love The Getaway! Don't get me wrong. I'm not a newcomer. I've been listening to RHCP since the early days when I was still in high school. I honestly don't believe they will make another album similar to Blood Sugar... or anything prior to that. I'm ok with that. I love what they evolved into. Highly recommended!

At first listen I liked it but mainly because I'm a big fan. However after a couple of full album plays I realized this album is the best of the summer. Much more chill but still has that funk in the background. It is a bit different from their previous releases but for the better. RHCP never fails to show up. Well done.

Such a great album!! I was really disappointed with the RHCP's last album, I'm With You. When I found out they were doing a new album I was a little apprehensive about it. But when I heard this album, all of the apprehension was gone!! This album sounds more like the RHCP that I fell in love with 20+ years ago!
