'''''Shadows Collide with People''''' is the fourth studio album by American musician [[John Frusciante]], released February 24, 2004. The album was written during the recording of ''[[By the Way]]'' (2002)<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.invisible-movement.net/articles/2004-press/1126-austincronicle/2 |title=Me And My Friends &#124; John Frusciante unofficial – Invisible Movement |publisher=Invisible-movement.net |accessdate=2012-03-09 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120802052143/http://www.invisible-movement.net/articles/2004-press/1126-austincronicle/2 |archivedate=2012-08-02 }}</ref> by Frusciante's group [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] and is widely regarded as his most accessible work, featuring a mix of guitar-driven [[alternative rock]], [[folk music|folk]] [[ballad]]s, and [[electronica]]. Frusciante has stated that this was his most expensive solo album to date, costing around $150,000 to produce, a significant departure from his earlier albums, which had been low-budget and recorded at his home.<ref>Baccigaluppi, John. (September/October 2007) "John Frusciante on Bending Sound and Why You Shouldn't Just Connect the Dots". Tape OP. Retrieved on 2007-10-18.</ref> Frusciante noted, "I was sick and tired of people dismissing my records as being fucked-up and unprofessional."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://invisible-movement.net/articles/2005-press/01-electronicmusician |title=John Frusciante's Creative Explosion &#124; John Frusciante unofficial – Invisible Movement |publisher=Invisible-movement.net |accessdate=2012-03-09 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130525153756/http://invisible-movement.net/articles/2005-press/01-electronicmusician |archivedate=2013-05-25 }}</ref>

[[Flea (musician)|Flea]] plays a [[double bass]] on "The Slaughter", the closing track of the album. All songs were written by John Frusciante, except "Omission" and "-00Ghost27" which were co-written with [[Josh Klinghoffer]] who would later replace Frusciante in Red Hot Chili Peppers.  Klinghoffer and Frusciante share the album credits for "Vocal, Guitar, Bass, Synthesizers, Keyboards & Percussion". ''Shadows Collide with People'' is the only Frusciante solo album to feature Red Hot Chili Peppers' drummer [[Chad Smith]].

Frusciante also made acoustic and demo versions of these tracks available to fans through his official site as an alternative to the highly-produced sound of the record.  The demo tracks feature Josh Klinghoffer on drums. A promo version of the album was also made, with the tracks "Omission", "Song to Sing When I'm Lonely", and "Failure33Object".

The album reached number 191 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and #11 on Heatseekers.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/charts/2004-03-13/billboard-200 |title=''Shadows Collide with People'' charting |accessdate=2007-08-31 |magazine=Billboard |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929204348/http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/esearch/chart_display.jsp?cfi=305&cfgn=Albums&cfn=The%2BBillboard%2B200&ci=3053046&cdi=8123385&cid=03%2F13%2F2004 |archivedate=2007-09-29 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

On the vinyl release of the album the words "One step away" were inscribed on side A, "There's riddles in the shadows" on side B, "A hint of sadness" on side C, and '"What they least suspect is coming next" on side D. All of these were hints to lyrics on John's next solo album ''[[The Will to Death]]'', specifically the songs "The Will to Death" (side A), "The Days Have Turned" (sides B and D), and "Loss" (side C).
