Red Hot Chili Pepper's Return of the Dream Canteen is a cathartic, vibrant, kaleidoscopic trip. The best way to describe the seventeen-track album is "mass confusion in a mason jar." One moment you're jamming out in a desert, next you're grieving the unrequited, then you're like botanical blooming out of a hollow carcass.

Keeping it classy, confident and assured, lead singer Brandon Flowers owned the stage, offering an energetic presence that kept the audience pumped and inspired throughout the entire night.

Seconds into the new HBO original, gorgeous cinematography and prestige skylines immediately caught my attention. Alas, played out clichés and predictable archetypes made its way into the reboot.
