John Lennon

Double Fantasy

A regular John album

Review Score:

(10/10)
First, anyone who thinks that the Yoko stuff on this album is bad should try to realize that Yoko was on a lot of John's stuff before this album. This is nothing new. By the time this album came out we had had a lot of Yoko. Not that we all dug it but we grew used to her and John's music etc. etc. So... When this album came out I was thrilled to see a new John and Yoko album. Because they were a pair, not two seperate people. Anyone that loved John's music for what it was and understood his love for Yoko realized that that was a part of John. This is in a sense a perfect record. John loved Yoko, Yoko loved John. Period. Do you think that John wanted or cared to put out the perfect "Beatle" sounding record? His life is reflected on this album and Yoko was the center of his Universe. Period. Sean also. This is a masterpiece because it is real. If you don't like it that's cool too... but one thing for sure it's way John felt at the time. Is this album re-mixed? I hope not. (I don't have this re-release) Haven't heard this version yet. I hated the others "Mind Games", "Plastic Ono Band". I must say that Yoko did have bad judgement on those projects. Why re-paint the Mona Lisa?
