Just a few months after Unlimited Love, the chilis return another album with songs from the same studio session as the previously mentioned 2022 release. You can tell that most of the original material went to the first album because Dream Canteen is a slog to get through. John Frusciante’s guitarwork is again welcome but doesn’t stand out nearly as much as hoped. And in 75 minutes of run time, they could have given a bit more to stand out. Only the singles really have any staying power and that’s being generous. It’s that old joke of “force a bot to listen to 1000 hours of Red Hot Chili Peppers”, and it’ll come up with this album. This was not unlimited love, this was…limited tolerance. And it’ll be forgotten as quickly as a dream. 5/10.
