Red Hot Chili Peppers, Unlimited Love. Album Review.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * *

When an influence becomes distorted, the effects can be felt deep in the soul.

Time has a way of letting you know that all that think you are has either come crashing down around you, or that it is the moment in which you have arguably become a fixed point that no longer has the same persuasion, the same pull on the hearts as you once did, and contrary to popular belief, love is not unlimited, it has a line in which it can become blurred, concerned over, and perhaps ultimately, break.
