John Frusciante is such a great songwriter, he somehow makes Anthony Kiedis barely tolerable
Funny how all the even-numbered tracks are passable, verging on dated 70s hard rock, but all the odd-numbered ones are too damn iconic and heavy to ignore.

I can't say this holds up to most other singer/songwriter albums, but it does have a few obvious standouts.

Not unwarranted, but just baffling.
