And they're thought to be lies But we saw them We looked right in their eyes Right at them Pinning space to the world We're slaughtered Not a sound... | See the rest of the song lyrics |

This is undoubtedly a stronger effort than Shadows Collide, and maybe that's due to [Frusciante's] ability to just let the music fly instead of attempting to overwork things.
-
Alternative PressIt's all very simple, organic and, best of all, easy on the ears. [Oct 2004, p.140]
-
As another impressive portion of his potent '04 output, Will to Death's immediacy and quality should quiet the critics-- particularly those who pegged his early solo records as the work of a narcotics pain-train washout.
-
There's almost nothing in the way of guitar heroics and it's far from groundbreaking, but fans of darkly personal skewed pop should enjoy Will to Death.
-
New Musical Express (NME)Zooming sheets of spacious wind-tunnel prog and raw, solo-spattered soul. Commercially, it's suicide. [26 Jun 2004, p.55]
-
Q MagazineContains some potentially highly commercial music, were it not for the underwhelming production. [Sep 2004, p.118]
-
His intention here was to create something unpolished and free of studio edits, acting as contrast to Shadows. His result, unfortunately, reeks of squandered potential.
