5h solo album by John Frusciante and his second in 2004. Together with its predecessor, Shadows Collide With People (Feb. 2004), and his seventh, Curtains (Feb. 2005), they form three really fine works of art, and they are his perhaps three best albums.
This very album was the first I ever listened to by Frusciante solo, and I only came across this wonder by chance. The music is not very different from his first release this year but it has a more raw and simple expression. In some ways, I think, it even betters anything by Red Hot Chili Peppers, although, it's also very unlike any album by the band.
