"Niandra" was John's first solo release. A lot of the tracks were recorded during the time that he was still with the Chili Peppers and he never anticipated that they would one day be on an album. Reviews of the album were harsh, but it moved over 100,000 copies nonetheless. The songs are raw and twisted - one journalist described the album as "a look into his soul without sun-glasses". |
