Dave Navarro is best known as the guitarist for Jane's Addiction and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, but on Trust No One, he comes into his own. The talented axman plays nearly every instrument but the drums on this record, showing off his polished set of pipes as well. Trust No One 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 jingles 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 to 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 "Starfuckers, 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. --Jennifer Maerz

 Unexpected July 26, 2007
J. C. Kaczorowski (Tempe, Az USA)
This is a totaly different and complete album then what I've ever heard in the past. The entire CD truly tells the story of what Dave went through in his past. It is astonishing on how the power of his lyrics and the music encompassing it are impletemented in this dark opera that he has conducted. Truly a marvel to listen too with that smokey voice and the change of tempo.
A Voyeuristic Treat October 6, 2006

I love all kinds of music, and granted I am a fan of Navarro's but this album is transcendent. It quite literally haunts me. There are no honest comparisons in my opinion that can be made to previous collaborative work. Hearing his voice alone is a revelation... soothing and personal, sometimes almost a whisper.
But I think the kicker for me is the amazing openness he shows in this album. Each song is a personal odyssey; inventive, and emotionally raw. Some say dark and depressing but I think that assessment misses a big component...Dave's wicked sense of humor and irony. To me, soaring riffs, playful instrumentation and lyrics keep the overall tone of the album far from tragic...to me it's a self-deprecating triumph for Dave Navarro.
As a back-story...I read Dave's biographical book "Don't Do This At Home" at the same time I was becoming familiar with the album so Dave's sometimes-cryptic lyrics fit into place for me. His struggles with addiction, personal loss and relationships are all there.
If you don't know Dave's story and are at all interested I would recommend both the album and the book. If you are a fan of the man, not just his musical past, this combination is a real voyeuristic treat.
Comparable Music: Nothing really in my opinion. Kind of like Lou Reed meets Jimi Hendrix. Inventive and beautifully melodic...with a measure of scorching guitar.

This CD helped me clean up my life. Dave Navarro is brutally honest here, and this record speaks to me. Trust Noone by Dave Navarro helped me get clean. Also, Corinna Fugate, an underground singer's CD 'Chasing the Ghost' helped me.
good listen July 2, 2005

I've had this disc a long time and I'm happy to say it's found a home in my collection as a long steady, not a flash in the pan. In some way the cd seems quiet. The tracks aren't particualaring bombastic or laden with pop hooks but they are very easy to listen to. Dave has put together an interesting blend of song writing (approached modestly for a guitar virtuoso), tight production and what sounds like a series of open-ended conversations, mostly with himself.
as for the songs... Rexall was the ear-catching single, one that contains enough poise that it won't wear thin quickly. Not for Nothing is probably the coarsest song on the cd with softly confronational lyrics and guitars that almost buzz with their spiky intensity. My favorites on the cd are Very Little Daylight, Slow Motion Sickness and the Velvet Underground cover Venus in Furs.
Give it a listen and see what you think. It is very different from Jane's Addiction and I fine Dave's voice far more listenable than Perry's.
Trust No One Who Says This Is A Bad Album August 28, 2004
Some Gravity (Indiana, USA)
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Dave Navarro's first solo album, "Trust No One", is an impressive first solo effort. Trust no one who says this is a bad album- because they are wrong. The only weak track on this album is "Everything". The rest of the tracks are great, and they all show Navarro's talents as a guitarist, bassist, singer, and songwriter. Navarro is also pretty good at playing a synthesizer. Favorite tracks include: "Rexall", "Mourning Son", (a song Navarro wrote about his mother, who was murdered), "Avoiding the Angel", and "Slow Motion Sickness". All fans of Dave Navarro or Jane's Addiction should check this album out.
