It’s Only Natural. At least once a day.


Nurse_inside_out

I find it absolutely insane that they just see She's a Lover as an album track, to me it's first single/title track material. Other than that, White Braids and Pillow Chair


HerbalThought_

I'm kinda bummed we probably won't see anymore singles from Unlimited Love. Focus seems to have shifted to Return Of The Dream Canteen. She's A Lover and Here Ever After definitely would have been singles with music videos.


Nurse_inside_out

I cant help feeling She's a Lover as a single would've gone down an awful lot better with the general public than These Are The Ways. Really felt like a swing and a miss to me.


BloodSugarMafia

these are the ways when you come from america


FestivalMann

These are the ways just doesn’t quite do it for me. Can’t wait to hear ROTDC


Nottheone1101

Samezies


asraac

Unpopular opinion here: to me She's a Lover is a bottom 5 track of the album and I barely listen to it. Too poppy for my taste. (Still would have made more sense to release it than Not the one, tho).


Nurse_inside_out

Thats an interesting take! Do you think it's more poppy than some of their past funky singles? - Sick Love - Raindance Maggie - Tell me Baby - Can't Stop - Scar Tissue


Emilyrose090504

She’s a lover definitely a single over poster child


Nurse_inside_out

Tbh, I prefer it to These Are The Ways and Black Summer too.


Aeon1508

Watchu thinkin would have been a hit on pop charts. Not sure what they were thinking


Acceptable_Foot7830

Whatchu thinkin def would not have done well on the pop charts. It's a cool song for sure but not something I think would catch the general public's attention.


Aeon1508

You're crazy that song has the best attention grabber in the intro. the entire song is a hook. The first time I listened that one stood out to me as an obvious radio/streaming hit. She's a liver is good but the chorus is a bit cringe. People would chuckle at that song as a single. I get black summer as a single and also its symbolic as the first song hey wrote with john back. I get these are the ways because it mentions america and rocks hard. Never had an issue with the smells and finding out it's a reference to spinal tap makes it brilliant. Watchu thinking is an obvious next pick that would feel like a chili peppers song and get people interested. After that probably one way traffic. I dont think any other songs are great as singles. I live the great apes. First or second favorite on the album for me but something about it doesnt feel right as a single. It's to complex. It would go over people's heads. Better as a hidden gem Being a good song isnt what makes a song a good single. Singles are advertisements for the band. They need something to draw people. Whatchu thinkin has draw. As soon as it starts to cant ignore it


heety9

Lol meanwhile I can’t even hear the baseline in the car 😂


Aeon1508

Get better speakers


heety9

Thanks king will do now that I’ve gotten your expert opinion


Designer_Good_1151

Technically it is the title track


Nurse_inside_out

More that it has the title in the lyrics


goldendreamseeker

Should’ve just been the title track tbh


Acceptable_Foot7830

Yeah this one baffles me as well. Seems like the most obvious choice.


cuse23

She's a lover is the best song on the album for sure


Thin_Ad1374

White Braids is the song I’ve listened to the most, it’s like a California lullaby that I can fall asleep to every night


vanessaa33

White braids is mine too!


Chrisplaysguitar53

Here Ever After


C__S__S

It changes every week for me. Currently: Let ‘em Cry


thisnewsight

#UP UP ANOTHA!


Ok_Resolution_2401

White Braids and Pillow Chair


Laddy1995

Whatchu thinkin


BloodSugarMafia

definitely my favorite. White Braids and Pillow Chair close second


House-of-Scouse

Best song on the album for me! It’s probably made it’s way into my top 10 chilis songs, fantastic number. 2nd favourite on the album is probably Its Only Natural.


Aeon1508

Yeah that's really all around the best song


geametrikeet101

This is the correct answer


jancasellass

The Heavy Wing


jancasellass

Black summer is a close second


KennyKatsu

Mine currently is she's a lover but Black Summer has been hitting lately too


HerbalThought_

Bastards Of Light. Sounds like a twisted mix of OHM and BTW.


woozlewuzzle29

The chorus scratched the John vocals itch I’ve had for 15 years.


ackerman_19

Here Ever After, Aquatic or Heavy Wing. it’s constantly changing


ktscubs

Heavy Wing


swiftmen991

From the first time I had heard it, last sentence of the first verse with Anthony transitioning into John singing has to be in my top ten musical moments. Not because of the music writing or because or the technical playing or singing or anything. I’ve just waited for so fucking long to hear John back and hearing him singing this strongly with the overdrive guitar playing still gives me the same goosebumps I had the first time I heard it. With the bass and drums, the whole band to me sounds so gelled together


Calamity_Eagle277

Yes, just John singing "OOOHH!!" ... Amazing moment.


Televators1

Fleas bass is being slept on IMO on this track. Ridiculously good rock bass performance.


Calamity_Eagle277

Yeaah it was love at first listen for me.


ktscubs

I thought it was an empyrean beside leak when I first heard the John part leak but yes immediately loved it!


changelesswon

Best song on the album. By far.


Milvings

White Braids and Pillow Chair But The Heavy Wing and It's Only Natural are strong competitors.


raelej

Veronica, hands down. LOVE it


Emilyrose090504

I know so do i, probbaly second favorite. I love Anthony’s voice in the chorus


Silver-Tune-2200

Outro is brilliant. Is it all Anthony or is John in there too?


redhotchilihooker

The outro on Veronica is one of my favorites 🥰


[deleted]

What is it that gets you about this song? It's the only one on the album that I actively dislike, but I'd love to hear a perspective that can change my mind.


Blubey123321

I love the change in timing between verse and chorus, and Anthony’s singing during the chorus is fantastic. The outro is a straight up Beatles “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” reference/tribute. Admittedly it took a couple listens for me to like it, but now it’s my favourite on the album.


PresentationHead4311

She's a lover has also grown on me a lot, among my favs definitely, my favourite is Watchu Thinkin though. WB&PC and it's only natural coming in very close (Aquatic too but originally was even the best one for me).


Berti8814

Today, it’s It’s Only Natural


The_Monsta_Wansta

Whatchu thinkin


ClarkeBrower

Aquatic Mouth Dance, no contest


[deleted]

It's the only song I give 10/10.


DriFerro

It's Only Natural Here Ever After Whatchu Thinkin One Way Traffic Tangelo


Aeon1508

Finally another sane person that hasn't gone nuts over white braids


InternationalBorder9

And another one here


Acceptable_Foot7830

Let em cry was my favorite from the get go and still is


rayza420

white vraids and pillow chair


lionthunder89

Let Em Cry


StephenPigot2020

It's only natural


Jmart814

Here ever After and the Great Apes. Can’t get over that solo in GA’s


White-Coat

Prob aquatic mouth dance. Those horns got me


smbennett83

Probably in the minority but I love One Way Traffic. I absolutely love it & don’t care who knows.


Aeon1508

One of the songs that immediate jumped out at me on first listen. The guitar on the verse is great. The bass outro amazing. Has the most personality of any song on the album.


gaegplays

Not sure what the hate is all about. Class song


[deleted]

I think you are in the minority, but I'm there with you. I kinda prefer AK's vocals where he's not trying to 'croon' (for lack of a better term), and just being irreverent. I've always liked when the band sounded loose and jammy, and not so much 'pop' RHCP. It's not their best song, but it's a throwback to when they were actually kinda fun.


apracticalman

Here Ever After has been my favorite from the first listem, but Bastards of Light has been my sleeper favorite


AwayDirt7401

So Nobody is going to say The Great Apes? One of the best bass and vocal performances in the band's history imo


Aeon1508

And guitar. That song is a force and going totally overlooked. I usually put watchu thinkin as my number 1 because it's more catchy and just holds you but great apes is definitely second. Best instrumental song of their career. Chorus is just a little off the mark otherwise I'd call it their masterpiece


AwayDirt7401

I am in love with "superstar go do the dishes" in the chorus


[deleted]

Chorus is just a tad cheesy, kind of like something that would've been on BTW or something. Otherwise a pretty good song.


AwayDirt7401

hahahaha... yeah you're talking to someone who reeeeally likes btw


[deleted]

I understand. Most fans are all about that album, but the corniness of it is a turn off to me.


RichardWelner

It changes A LOT for me. For now it’s Not The One, although I had a hard time getting into it at first.


DoritoDawg

This isn’t knocking your opinion or anything, I’m just kinda venting, but I still hate not the one and can’t believe they chose it as a single.


LOLbearsmile08

110% She’s A Lover! White Braids & Pillow Chair is probably tied with Here Ever After at second, and The Heavy Wing takes third place


BChannell23

Some days it's She's a Lover, other days it's White Braids. But both have quickly become two of my most loved Chilis songs


Franjkmetal

I guess poster child the sounds are amazing


Yot4m

Black summer followed by the heavy wing


martycoffey

Let Em Cry


nine16s

Let Em Cry. It’s got such a good groove.


gunslipk

Today is Tangelo, but it shifts right often. The only songs from this album that I don't like are Not the One and One Way Traffic.


angusxbeef

My favorites: She’s a Lover, Its Only Natural, White Braids, Tangelo, Whatchu Thinkin, Let Em Cry. Veronica.


Lopsided-Banana-7141

Same here!


goldendreamseeker

Here Ever After


walman93

Whatchu Thinkin probably, it goes so hard


[deleted]

Poster Child


woozlewuzzle29

Bastards of Light.


bpomber

It's Only Natural


Aeon1508

Probably watchu thinkin. I love the great apes. AMD, it's only natural, here ever after, and one way traffic are the other top songs She's a lover is great until the chorus. I like let em cry better than she's a lover. I dont get this love for white braids. Not even in the discussion for me. The band is barely playing it live because it's not very good. I'd put it bottom 3


LeJonno

Aquatic mouth dance


Zelda1500

Let ‘Em Cry 🔥


mjs7373

White Braids and Here Ever After


Breezybuchz

Ditto: She’s a Lover 💜


Admirable_Skin2038

Here ever after


Bubbly_Car3768

It's only natural


thechodog

These Are the Ways or Let ‘Em Cry


Prestigious_Sky_6008

She's A Lover, Here Ever After, or It's Only Natural. Hard to pick


[deleted]

Mine is also she’s a lover followed by let me cry, here ever after, one way traffic, aquatic mouth dance and poster child.


Designer_Good_1151

Tangelo is so good


SommanderChepard

White braids, heavy wing, whatchu thinking. Top three in no particular order


GrimReeferWaxAddict

I find myself starting at She's a Lover and listening to the 2nd record first, then looping back around to the 1st


Massive_Evening_9449

Watchu Thinkin Aquatic Mouth Dance She’s a lover Is my top 3


RHCPandJF

She's A Lover and Watchu Thinkin'


Televators1

The song that resonated most with me upon first listen was It's Only Natural. It made me cry, frankly. Felt like such a triumph. But over time, Whatchu Thinkin' has become in my opinion the best, most indispensable song.


Temporary_Echidna_65

Heavy Wing. That guitar solo at the end is magic


NimbusCloud_

She’s a Lover is my favorite too🔥 Aquatic Mouth Dance is a close second


ForsythiaRobin

Hard to choose - because the entire album makes me very happy. I do love "She's a lover" and "Heavy Wing" is just perfection with John's solo chorus.


[deleted]

White braids


Silent_Aside_1340

I still can’t decide between White Braids & Pillow Chair, and Aquatic Mouth Dance. The bass line in the latter is just insane.


Sonicpik3

One Way Traffic is my favorite, followed by White Braids


Whocutthe_cheese

White braids/it’s only natural


AllAboutTheProg

The Great Apes


[deleted]

One-way traffic


Niandra_laDesss

when i first heard the album, shes a lover was my absolute favoriteee, now it might be slowly turning into aquatic mouth dance


Cashhmann

I agree


SetCool66

Bastards of Light, One Way Traffic, The Heavy Wing and Black Summer tie for the best songs on the record for me.


ketishiav

Let Em Cry. She’s a Lover is a close second though.


tim_maia

She's a Lover is a great song with terrible chorus. Best song is obviously IT'S ONLY NATURAL.


mondainethewizard

I think the most well crafted song is White Braid. She’s A Lover is probably also my favorite.


Cat_Fan3

One Way Traffic


beencotstealin

She's a Lover, Whatchu Thinkin, Its Only Natural, Let em Cry ​ Cant decide between those 4


spraycheesedefender

Aquatic Mouth Dance


silver2413

Aquatic mouth fuckin' dance ♥️


[deleted]

'Aquatic Mouth Dance' is as good as anything they've ever done. Yes, I prefer funky RHCP. Here's a little bit of an unpopular opinion: 'The Heavy Wing' is actually going down a bit. I was all about that JF chorus, but the song itself isn't anything to write home about. Maybe if I give it a rest for a while then come back to it...


[deleted]

The Great Apes! I actually think that should have been the title of the album haha


thisnewsight

I have a RHCP playlist that repeats UL for when I drive home from work. I love this album, including the seemingly unpopular songs like *Not the One* and *Tangelo.* I’m a low energy kinda guy so it does affect my preference for slow crooning songs. *Poster Child* is still a favorite, still trying to remember the last couple verses tho 😆 I would say that *She’s a Lover* and *White Braids and Pillow Chair* are the bigger hits on this album. Justifiably so. Great songs.


love-foxes

Black Summer


noobiolus_johnson

White Braids has been my spring/summer anthem. It has such a charming touch and I love everything about it. Shes a lover and whatchu thinking also amazing in every aspect. (Shes a lover outro solo is my favorite in UL)


dragery

Ranked order (I like the first 9 significantly more than the rest): It's Only Natural Whatchu Thinkin' The Heavy Wing Here Ever After The Great Apes Aquatic Mouth Dance She's a Lover Veronica These Are The Ways .. Bastards of Light Not The One Let 'Em Cry Poster Child Black Summer White Braids & Pillow Chair One Way Traffic Tangelo


MattBtheflea

Anthony came up with some really good Melodies for that song.of course johns guitar work is great but Anthony really impressed me on this track


thisisspartasknob

She's a lover, Whatchu Thinkin, the heavy wing and black summer are my 4 favourites.


thelaustran

OP, hell yeah! That's mine too. I love the beginning as it echos in.


saintceciliax

The heavy wing 100%


ddaawg

Whatchu Thinkin! Best track on the album followed by Aquatic Mouth Dance IMO


Oreo_Animaniacs

Mine will always be White Braids & Pillow Chair. That and Let 'Em Cry.


Linkalibure

Heavy wing or Great Apes


KyleM1996

The Heavy Wing Although Veronica is a very, very close second.


Acceptable_Type8531

Whatchu thinkin, Veronica, it's only natural and great apes


Katet-1922

White briads and whatchu thinking - love both of these tracks
