THE REVIEW
"Curtains" is an album full of atmospheres, even if they are quite simple, they make the album very soft and engaging.
It is well known that Frusciante is a very well-rounded and open musician who plays multiple instruments, not to mention the, in my opinion, magical use of his voice. I wouldn’t be able to recommend one song over another because I always listened to this album in its entirety, so the listener's memory doesn't hold onto one or more songs but rather a well-defined idea of music and song.

Curtains is an album rich in simple yet captivating atmospheres. John Frusciante’s versatility as a multi-instrumentalist and his distinctive voice shine throughout. The album is best enjoyed as a whole rather than as individual tracks, delivering a unique and consistent musical experience.Tracklist Lyrics Videos
03 Anne (03:35)
Anne you can't hide
you know we'll find you
It's a matter where pride flies out the window
I never got the weight off the ground
I just forgot what's up and what's down
How many get the way I feel now
There's no regret
There's just the sense that
Nothing is going my way
There's so much that happened today
The gods of the city have called my name
It means more to them than it means to me somehow
I left my body
I left my fate
But is so hard to keep away now
Nothing is final because it seems all the while
There wasn't anything for me
I always faked my smile
There's so many careless angels responsible for me
They give me disease
They give me a pain in my neck to feed off me
saying pay us the cost and we'll be gone now
they shut my eyes and i can't see now
These are the times I was scared of
These are the fates I pushed out of the way
Now they come back here and haunt me
It's plain to see who the winner and loser will be

By joe strummer
"John has realized that electronics for its own sake is not his forte and decides to let himself be guided by his acoustic guitar."
"Curtains is a good record that demonstrates how Frusciante is capable of giving a lot when he has little at his disposal."
By Jayde
"With Curtains, John Frusciante has reached one of the highest musical points of his career, with a simple album; but full, brimming, overflowing with emotions."
"The final solo (López + Frusci) exudes Hendrix from every pore, and I’m not speaking negatively."
