Review

Q (p.118) - 3 stars out of 5 - "Heavily loaded with good ballads....While signature Chili Peppers qualities - accessibility, tunes, the dark side of the Californian dream - are in evidence..."
Alternative Press (p.140) - 4 out of 5 - "Frusciante opts for a warm, traditional feel, appended by the dynamic drumming of partner-in-crime Josh Klinghoffer. It's all very simple, organic and, best of all, easy on the ears."
Mojo (Publisher) (p.86) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[A] spontaneous sounding ragbag of raucous hymnals and impressionistic instrumentals....It's stirring but somber stuff."

Title Note

Personnel: John Frusciante (vocals, guitar, piano, synthesizer, bass guitar); Josh Klinghoffer (guitar, keyboards, bass guitar, drums).

Recording information: 12/2003 - 01/2004.

John Frusciante's third solo album since reuniting with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, THE WILL TO DEATH, bears little resemblance to his full-time gig--rather, Frusciante seems to be drawing inspiration from classic 1960s folk- and garage-rock, the kind found on the legendary NUGGETS compilation. Recorded in less than a week with Frusciante and Josh Klinghoffer playing all instruments, WILL has a wonderfully unrefined feel throughout, yet avoids coming off as haphazard. The guitar sound seems to place the listener in the duo's makeshift studio, with drums crashing and thumping, and keyboards provide emotional shadings. Frusciante sings in a plaintive, expressive, and immediate voice, as if this were the first and, maybe last chance, to get these songs out. The downcast ruminations of "The Mirror" recall the reflective ballads of Elton John circa HONKY CHATEAU, and the seething drone-rocker "An Exercise" finds Frusciante channeling the Velvet Underground at its most melodic. Despite its rather glum title, THE WILL TO DEATH finds its author more inspired and committed to making music than ever.
