I think I must have been tuned out that year ... Last album I remember was By The Way, which had a good sound and feel but didn't (for me) hold up to close examination ... I mainly remember wishing that such a talented and prominent band would use their considerable powers for more than fluff ... but in retrospect (and I no longer have the album, or Californication about which I felt much the same way) I'd have to call it quality fluff and I would give it another listen if it fell into my lap
What do we make of John Frusciante's solo records? Occasionally interesting? Intermittent genius? Brilliant? Crap?
