I have to disagree with one thing. The beat for otherside i feel fits in there absolutely perfectly. Chad smith does a great job with keep rhythm and feeling of the song. he uses a basic rock beat, with some funk influence and a couple creative licks.
ps: great review, this is probly my favorite album of all time along with BSSM and BTW. And you did good job reviewing, especially with Road Trippin. That was a perfect way to end the album.
