I'm with You (album)
2011 studio album by Red Hot Chili Peppers
I'm with You is the tenth studio album by the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers. The album was released by Warner Bros. Records on August 26, 2011, in Europe and on August 29, 2011, in the United States. The album made its debut at number one in 18 countries including the United Kingdom, while reaching number two in the United States and Canada.
Produced by Rick Rubin, I'm with You was the band's first studio album after a five-year hiatus, and the first to feature guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, following the departure of John Frusciante in 2009. It is also the first album since 1989's Mother's Milk to not have a title track. The album received mixed reviews, with many praising newcomer Josh Klinghoffer for breathing new life into the veteran group, but also criticizing John's Frusciante's absence from the group. The album featured four singles, including alternative number-one hit, "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie", "Monarchy of Roses", "Look Around" and "Brendan's Death Song". "Did I Let You Know" was released exclusively in Brazil thanks to response from a poll voted on by the fans, though it was not considered a proper single. A Rolling Stone Reader's Poll named I'm with You the 8th best album of 2011 and the album was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Rock Album.
