Amazon.co.uk Review
Dave Navarro is best known as the guitarist for Jane's Addiction and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but on ITrust No One/I, he comes into his own. The talented axeman plays nearly every instrument but the drums on this record, showing off his polished set of pipes as well. ITrust No One/I is a sharp diversion from both Jane's Addiction's trippy punk aggression and the Chili Peppers' chest-thumping funk. Interestingly, the album comes closer to Soundgarden than either of Navarro's former bands: it's a post-grunge mix of acoustic singles that build into charging rock riffs, in a slightly softer version of the former Seattle band's mighty noise. The music is just a vehicle for Navarro's tortured soul, though, which is given the spotlight in lyrics uncovering his feelings of emptiness. Even as his sanity seems to spiral downward, Navarro's skilled playing still makes these songs soar--no self-pitying here. The only weak spots on the album are the song "Not for Nothing" (didn't Nine Inch Nails already write this one as "Starf**kers, Inc."?) and the occasional odd Navarro rhyme ("There is no love left in your eyes / There is love left in your thighs"). Both can be forgiven, though, in an album that is an otherwise stellar one-man production of mainstream modern rock. I--Jennifer Maerz/I

 Unarguably my most favourite album ever February 18, 2005
Mr. R. Williams (UK)
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have no idea why I bought this album. Prior to it's purchase a couple of years back, the only material I had heard from Dave Navarro was his less than successful Chili Peppers expo. However, despite my hazy memories about why I chose to purchase it, I am certainly glad I did. Every song on this album is outstanding. I still listen to it regularly, and there are no 'skippers' which is rare for me, as I have an incredibly short attention span.brThe overall sound is very polished, with multiple layers of guitars, each doing something contrasting yet complementary. As for Dave's voice, it isn't incredible but it has a pleasant warm tone, and he is clearly a competent vocalist. I can see why some people aren't overly impressed with the lyrics, as they are sometimes a little over-indulgent. He does have an interesting way with words though, and the general vocal rhythm is very pleasing.brThe song styles vary from slow and introspective to sleazy metal that isn't a million miles away from Sunna or NIN. Overall there's a very good balance between the heavier and the softer songs (and I have to say, not one of them sounds anything like a Jane's Addiction track).brThis is the sort of music I would love to be able to make. Dave Navarro is now my guru.
Quality, Thats It June 16, 2006
Rory Gomes (Haltham, Lincolnshire, UK)
Alot of people write music as a way of dealing with things in their lives, so the people who said its "over-indulgent", yeah it may be self-indulgent, but thats how most musicians work. This album is nothing short of quality, Rexall, Hungry and Avoiding the Angel especially. Great mood music, speaks to ya, and its a way of speaking to people. The man is an incredible guitarist, Jane's Addiction are awesome, and his solo stuff does him credit. Get this album, Dave Navarro is a legend, we can all learn from him
 Expect the unexpected June 17, 2001

After three years of anticipation this record has finally seen the light of day and it has been worth the wait.pOn this record Navarro has made the transition from enigmatic guitarist to well, enigmatic frontman! He handles all instrumental duties bar the drums and handles it with suprising aplomb; there are some tasteful splashes of piano and keyboard and his vocals are surprisingly strong. However, it is his trademark guitar playing that is the album's main strength. Lightly strummed acoustics are juxtaposed with crashing distortion to add an array of textures. Check out Navarro's buzzsaw version of 'Venus In Furs' and the melodic 'Mourning Son' as evidence.pHowever, all is not as expected. Despite the elements of Jane's Addiction's punky swagger and the heavy funk of 'One Hot Minute' era Chili Peppers, Navarro has exlored the electronic and industrial sonic stylings of bands such as Bauhaus, New Order and Nine Inch Nails. Check out 'Not For Nothing' for proof. pThe lyrical content of the record is highly personal - there are explorations of his mother's death ('Mourning Son'), relationships gone sour ('Rexall') and heroin addiction ('Everything'), and although some of the lyrics are slighlty weak, it gives the album a decidedly dark feel.pA promising solo career awaits.
A future classic June 18, 2001

I heard a preview of this album from a friend and I must admit that I was suprised at how good it was, with cracking riffs and inventive lyrics this album enables Navarro to step out of the shadow of Janes Addiction and show the world just why he is one of the greatest performers on the planet and why he will be considered one of the legends of the future. A must for all fans of Janes Addiction or those who like good old fashioned rock and roll.
Dark Days June 12, 2006
Neil Thomason
I had bought this album pretty soon after it had been released as Navarro is one of my favourite guitarists; I liked the first two tracks or so but thought the rest was pretty 'meh' and then just let it collect dust on my shelf.
br /I rediscovered this album two+ years ago and it has become pretty personal to me since then as it accompanied me through some dark days during that period. Slow Motion Sickness *sigh* I can't even listen to that final track anymore, it breaks my heart. It came up on shuffle the other week and immediately my mood became utterly dark and melancholy thinking back.
br /
br /Apart from the aforementioned two opening tracks and the final track, the other strong tracks on the album are Avoiding The Angel ("I never really even loved you, I'm just really insecure"). The cover of Venus In Furs is really good. Very Little Daylight is really dark and has one of my favourite lyrics ("I only feel alone when I'm with you")
br /
br /I dare say it's worth the four stars I've given it from a detached perspective but from a personal standpoint Trust No One will always have a place in my heart.
