Listened to it a lot in a short space of time. Too much maybe. I spinned it up recently and thought only a small number of good tracks and it sounded processed, digital and tinny so I stopped listening. Maybe I'll rip it an remaster it (done that a few times)

I don't think it has aged well at all. I should stress, that's for me. No value judgment intended for those who continue to think it's great.
In terms of the playing, Flea and Frusciante can both be great even if I don't always like the music they are performing on, but I'm less into what Chad Smith does, which always feels quite stiff and heavy-handed.
But, you know, Under The Bridge is Under The Bridge, can’t really argue with a track like that.
I really like those first two, they have some great songs, but where's the funk and where's the energy? It went away and never came back, except in fits and starts. And we've had the discussion before, but Stadium Arcadium is simply too long for me... it's like Mellon Collie and the last few Metallica albums, I just don't have the patience to listen all the way through and as a result none of the songs ever really lodged in my head.
I didn't bother with the Josh Klinghoffer albums, I heard bits and pieces and they did not interest me at all. I bought the Frusciante-comeback Unlimited Love, it's not bad, and I have heard Return of the Dream Canteen, not bad but again I think they released too much music in too short a space of time. It's exhausting.
To totally go out on a limb, I'm a fan of One Hot Minute. Navarro didn't really fit, but I like his playing, I like the songs and it's one of my favourite RHCP albums.
It is a masterpiece.
