Highly limited value.

"Snow (Hey Oh)" is the third single from "Stadium Arcadium". One of the strongest songs from the album, Warner Bros. chose to release the single in two parts-- the first with one b-side, the second with two.
The title track itself really is one of the great Chili Peppers pieces-- featuring a delicate, speed picked guitar line and a loping, deeply grooved bassline on the verses and a driven, almost forceful chorus, it also has the pleasure of finding vocalist Anthony Kiedis in his best form, setting up a fine mood and a pretty, delicate melody that stands up on its own with no difficulty.
The b-side for part 1 is a track called "Permutation", recorded live in Montreal. It's the sort of live jam that fills a lot of the Chili Peppers singles-- Flea lays down some nice chordal work over which John Frusciante solos and a couple minutes through, they reverse the trend before both soloing together, twisting about each other. It's a decent enough jam and both Flea and Frusciante play nicely, but quite frankly for the cash I ponied up for the single, I'm kind of annoyed this is all I got.
I can't really give this less than two stars-- "Snow" is a really strong track, but the fact is, this is of limited value. If you need to have it, by all means, get it, but at least know what you're getting.

Music for the upcoming spring or summer

The A-Side track "Snow ((Hey Oh))" is a great song. In my opinion, "Snow" is one of the best songs on the double-disc album. The B-Sides are also great. And when I say "great" I mean they are better than a few of the A-Side cuts that landed on the actual album.
If I would have been in charge of selecting tracks for "Stadium Arcadium", I would have placed both these songs on the album (and I would not have chosen "Make You Feel Better" or "If").
"Funny Face" and "I'll Be Your Domino" are better than "Make You Feel Better" and "If".
By the way, everything the Chilies create is GOLD. Buy it you silly goose!

Love the CD and it has songs on it I hadn't even heard! The CD came in a timely fashion with no harm done to it.
