This concept record features Flea, Sonus Quartet, Johnny Marr, and The New Dimension Singers. It's a record suited to dark living rooms late at night. Review: Celestial! - This album is amazing! Its great to see how for John has come since his early solo career. The first track is an instrumental that sounds like the sequel to Funkadelic's Maggot Brain. It truly is John at his best. The second track is an emotional outing with some great vocal moments. Unreachable, is very reminiscent of all the great things about Shadows Collide with People. Great thinking music. God, is a little more upbeat, mixing many of the sounds John has learned over the years. Dark/Light, is the soundtrack for a battle between good and evil. Excellent vocals with some amazing beats. The bass line repeats towards the end but its funky. Just note it goes from a choral display into this funky thing. Heaven, breaks things down. Nice light track. Fabulous harmonies and guitar work. Enough of Me, another John great! Central, a bit heavier than some other tracks. John displays his diversity in playing, singing, and writing. One More of Me is Epic! The lyrics are some of the truest I've ever heard regardless of what anyone may believe. The orchestral music builds this ambiance with the vocals and lyrics. The vocals may sound weird to you at first but this song is amazing! After the Ending is a great way to end the album! Light and tying all the thoughts together from the album. Review: Some of John's best! - John Frusciante at some of his best. (Hard to say with him, because so much of his music has been so excellent and great.) Certainly at his most elaborate and "psychedelic" (as one of my buddies, and fellow long-time Frusciante fan, put it). I find myself re-listening to this a lot. The lyrics are often amazingly good, but perhaps a little more enigmatic than even his past lyrics (and he's always been consistent in writing such)! He made the Tim Buckley song "Song of the Siren" completely his own (check out the Cocteau Twins/Elizabeth Fraser version, too, by the way), and it's a wonderfully moving "break-up song". The opening jam is wonderful, and deceptively simple. The rest of the songs are all great, with the lyrics getting really good in the middle and near the end of the album. A wonderful, spiritual concept album which even I, as a Christian, have enjoyed very much. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001MW0J2Y | | Best Sellers Rank | #122,659 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #406 in Emo #1,564 in Classic Psychedelic Rock #2,274 in Adult Alternative (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (357) | | Date First Available | December 3, 2008 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Label | Record Collection | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Record Collection | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 11.81 x 0.39 x 11.81 inches; 3.88 ounces | | SPARS Code | DDD | ## Images ![The Empyrean - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LK7R5e7mL.jpg) ![The Empyrean - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51S+SFoEcrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Celestial! *by A***C on July 14, 2013* This album is amazing!

Initially, after listening to this album once (from track 1 to track 10), my thought was, "Great, John's gone soft. Where's the hard rock? Why do rock 'n' rollers go soft?" After I finished listening to the album, I was disappointed because I was expecting something heavier. (And by the way, this album isn't all soft; there are several moments of hard rockin'.) Disappointment fades. I listened again...and again, a third time (from track 1 to track 10). Music has a tendency to grow on you when you take the time to appreciate it. Then, after several listens, I grabbed my dictionary and looked up the word, "empyrean." The "empyrean" refers to the highest heaven, or the Celestial Kingdom. Knowing this, I better understood the content and the overall feel of this album. This piece of music, as John might say, is a representation of the empyrean, the highest heaven. Therefore, this music is meant to sound heavenly (not heavy or rock 'n' rolly). I was expecting a rock `n' roll experience, but John delivered a heavenly experience. John: thank you for taking us to the empyrean with your guitar; thank you for taking us to a place where rock music almost never dares to ascend. The Empyrean rocks...in a soft, heavenly sort of way.
