unnerving and spooky in Mr. Mather’s hands becomes a horror story in miniature. Amos, without needing to change Eminem’s lyrics, assumes instead the personalities of the murdered wife and bewildered child. Her falsetto refrain of, “Just the two of us” is so full of quiet menace and mourning that it becomes almost painful...
...know, baby/ Child, don?t you know, baby/ Don?t you know, baby/ Little girl, little girl, don?t you know/ Please listen to me, baby/ Girl, I?m in love with you so"). But those are just words: the first sound on the cut is a wild falsetto field whoop, then a plaintive "well" exactly an octave lower -as if he were a woman in ecstasy and a man hurting from its lack.

Not concerned with commercial prettiness, Frusciante immerses himself completely, and the result is some of the most emotional and expressive rock singing in recent memory (witness the alternation between howl and wavering falsetto on "In Rime"). He's helped by his lyrics, which are evocative and thankfully never too random. Largely despondent, lines like "Oh please take us / We're wrong / We live now to relive on and on" repeatedly hint at his past...
