John Frusciante (also talk Hot Chili Peppers) gets to 5. Songwriterschlag out. The creativity of this man seems to be almost inexhaustible. It floats in music between Pete Yorn, Dinosaur Jr. and Richard Ashcroft. That sounds quite through-grows or also simply only variously. Contrary to “shadows collide with people” sounds the 5. Solo caper of John Frusciante however by far homogeneous. On “the will to death” leans it again more to the music of the 60’s and 70’s. It was with the photographs again from the simple, but nevertheless eigensinnigen kind as for instance of The velvet Underground inspires. But it would surely be no John Frusciante, if the Synthesizer would show up not at least a little. The album witnesses from sound variety, which is simply only overwhelming. Dragging along melodies with one extravagant changing instrumenting. And which is still more unbelievable: Thus ‘ times evenly besides ‘ this man writes the Songs for his solo project, while it is with the Chili Peppers on the way and a guitar to the hand has. Frusciante has definitely one of the best places in the Riege of the completely large Songwriter away and lands with “the will to death” again a large, however more graceful success than still before. A dozen of proud skirt numbers presents Frusciante on “the will to death”, which appears after already 4 months “shadows collide with people”. It is not to disturb us now indeed, if the man has further such an output, which one finds probably hardly a second time. Again once – equal the predecessor – a outstanding work.
