Editorial Reviews
Product Description
After strong international success with the first four releases of his six record series, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' guitarist now reveals his fifth album with longtime musical partner Josh Klinghoffer. Frusciante has been recording an album a month, spanning pop, experimental, electronic, and acoustic genres. Already released are "The Will To Death", Ataxia's "Automatic Writing", "DC EP", and "Inside Of Emptiness".
The best way to get to the album's soul is to listen to it backwards, start with the typical Johnfru-song My Life and end with the mind-smashing Sphere. Of course, noone should buy this CD just because he likes RHCP or the single The Past Recedes. This CD is better for dy-hards. I'm disappointed of them because only a few of them seem to have written a review.
This album isn't easy, it's electronic, still some pop, but never mainstream. And I love it.
The album opens with 'sphere' - an 8 minute instrumental layered over the top of synthesiser and a lot of noise. The first guitar solo is John's and its brilliant. This song would have been better left at its original 30minute length, cos its quite a ride.
'The Afterglow' is probably the grooviest song on the record. A techno like song, this is John's vocal painted over the top of Josh's genius.
'Walls' is a great lyrical effort and the angriest song on the record with John's screams piercingly good.
The next song 'Communique' is one of the greatest songs I've ever heard. It is worth buying this CD for this song alone. The first I heard it I swear I had an out of body experience, it is amazing. This is Josh's song and it sounds like it is being performed live in your room. Any one who has heard it will know what I mean...
The next two songs both feature Josh on vocals yet again and sound brilliant, this guy can sing. John's guitar blends nicely into these two songs which again contain a lot of synthesiser.
The final song is a short, soft, 2min track with John providing vocal and piano. It is a nice way to round out the album. I hope to hear more from these two guys in the same mould as this album, it deserves an encore.
2 stars for two good tracks: Sphere, My Life.
This album can't be categorized. Buy it if you enjoy unusual music with sophisticated melodies.
THe low point is that it couldve been a whole lot better. For starters its too short considering the tracks move slowly as it, and should be atleast double the amount of songs to be really good, and despite being short, some songs could be better "walls".
Although the josh tracks and the track "THe afterglow are great and af the whole album wasnt as rushed and done in the same vein as in those songs, the album would be great.
"Curtians" and "The will to death" are my absolute favourite albums ever, so its fine to let one album slip, while im still absorbing the greatness from his other albums.
