5.0 out of 5 stars Lennon's masterpiece!, January 19, 2000

By

This review is from: Imagine (Audio CD)

This is a product of a true genius! Not only do we have the song of the millenium ('Imagine') by the artist of the millenium but also an excellent assortment of acoustic and rock tracks. 'It's so hard', 'I don't want to be a soldier', 'Gimme some truth' and 'How do you sleep?' show Lennon's true characteristic grit with biting fuzzy guitar and equally fitting vocals. Emotional acoustic ballads like 'How?' and 'Oh my love' go nicely with the more jolly 'Jealous guy' and the folksy 'Crippled inside' and 'Oh Yoko!'. A great performance by John, Phil Spector and the Plastic Ono's and also by George Harrison who plays brillient slide guitar. Overall, an enlightening and cheerful album which follows nicely from the outstanding melancholy album 'Lennon/Plastic Ono band'. Nobody will ever rival John's lyrical abilities and certainly won't capture John's mood in quite the same way again. We miss you John.

This is the BEST cd i've ever heard. Yes OVER-ALL some of the tracks are - sub par. but Jealous Guy, How Do You Sleep, and IMAGINE make up for ANY and all losses! Buy this album! IT BELONGS in ANY "Music conniseurs" collection!

5.0 out of 5 stars His second , and last, solo masterpiece., December 31, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Imagine (Audio CD)

This brilliant work, is unlike his prior solo release the classic Plastic Ono Band, in that Phil Spector's production sensibilities actually come through on this one. The musicianship is outstanding (check out George Harrison's guitar work on Give Me Some Truth). Lennon is in fine form as a vocalist, musician and songwriter. Standouts include the title cut, Jealous Guy, How Do You Sleep and Give Me Some Truth. There really is not a weak number in the bunch. A must buy, as this is truly one of rock's masterworks...Simon
