Title: A solid, interesting albumn
Review: I am a RHCP fan for many years, and I have always appreciated Frusciante's contribution to the band. Until recently, I have never listened to his solo stuff. This is my 2nd solo album of his, and is much more to my liking. Some of his music strays very far off field compared with what we are familiar to hearing from him in the RHCP. I completely understand his need to explore and grow, but that doesn't mean that all of it is listenable. This album, although not funk-based like most of his playing, is very good. I listened to it 3 times last night. Some tracks stood out from the others during the 1st pass (#5), while others took a while -- over the course of multiple listens -- to sink in, but are also very good. What really stands out here is not only his command of the guitar, but his songwriting. His growth as a musician can be clearly seen since he was an 18yo kid when first entering the RHCP. Recommended.
