John Frusciante - The Empyrean

Don't forget to order 'The Empyrean' by John Frusciante.
Out in Japan today and on the 27th in US.
This will be the best album released in 2009 I assure you. Simply beautiful!
If PJ decides to put something out, I have to reevaluate, but for now...
Preview of the magic 'Unreachable' can be found at TouYube...

I always appreciated the Red Hot (a bit less recently) but I've never listened to a Frusciante solo album. I know he released a lot of albums buy what would be your recommendation to get into it ?
john is an amazing singer/songwriter/guitarist.
i love his solo releases!
You might get lost
You might get lost
I would give this one a shot and then make your way to the releases he put out in 2004
The Will to Death
DC EP
Inside of Emptiness
A Sphere in the Heart of Silence
Curtains
Ataxia - Automatic Writing
They are all different but are all great albums... Especially 'Inside of Emptiness' and 'DC EP'...
The Ataxia - II is also great.
Skip the early ones which are too freaked out ("Your Pussy's Glued to a Building on Fire", wtf?)
I wish all RHCP songs were sung by John...
/d
To record only water for 10 days is an excellent "early" album of his.

Thanks. I'll check those.
Before the Beginning is crap. He isn't a good enough pure lead guitarist to keep it interesting for 8 minutes.
Song to the Siren is just a great song, so he would have done something horrible for it to be not so great.
I get that he has RHCP as a pop outlet, but he should ditch them and use those for himself. I think, with his mindset he could branch out a little and make some pretty interesting Hendrix-ian music. Plus, I love his singing voice and Keidis's lyrics are tired.
I have "Niandra LaDes and Usually just a tshirt" and "to record only water for 10 days".
Not the best but I really like the song "Going inside".
Hope this is alot better. John da man!!

I think you'll like this one. I got a downloaded copy but I still plan on buying the album on Tuesday. Guitar-wise, I think he is picking up where he left off from his Stadium Arcadium sound/playing-style. That was my initial reaction.

I agree. It's a beautiful album. Over time it may just become my favourite John F record.
Have I missed something or is there a distinct lack of love for "Shadows Collide With People" in this thread...
Also, check out the work John did on the 'Brown Bunny' soundtrack. Some of his best songs are on there.

There's a constant ringing in my ears
Sense of humor's void and numb
And I'm bored to tears.......
I haven't heard anything since "to record only water..." so it was great to hear.
Highly recommended.

The Empyrean is astoundingly good, love it to bits and it continues to yield more and more as you listen to it.
The penultimate track he sounds like Frank Zappa at the start, simply awesome!
