No hevy devy it doesn't. Not when the music is so incredibly talented and you always find something new in Rhcp and Frusciante songs.

I know he gets a bad wrap because of his mainstream stuff, but some of John Mayer's more introspective stuff is quite good.

Ben Folds is another one I enjoy too.

Not one of his best. There are a lot of good songs on it but plenty of weak stuff too. He sings too much - he can be a good singer but in small doses only. Bring on the Black Star re-union imo.
