John Frusciante's initial solo releases, dating back to the early '90s, were often eclipsed by a number of factors that had no relation to the musician and his work; the drama of Frusciante's struggles with substance abuse and his association with one of the biggest bands in the world at the time (Red Hot Chili Peppers) distracted from his artistic output and intentions.

They've showcased, first and foremost, an inclination to use more abstract elements to push beyond the straightforward riffery he put forth in his more famous gig.
