5.0 out of 5 stars Yoko tries something new:)..., April 20, 2003

This review is from: Rising (Audio CD)

If you read the liner notes, and the lyrics, you might be slightly afraid to listen to this album. It is about fighting her sadness and lonliness and growing up amidst the horrors of war. Yoko compellingly compares her friends in New York struck with AIDS, to the sufferings of the people in Hiroshima. It is an album where she expells her demons, but manages to bring you up again to a safe shore...and show you some Great music/instrumentation, feeling and just about everything else with her son Sean Lennon's band IMA. It manages to have a Fresh alternative sound and keep the listener interested.
Very Yoko--Very reccomended! ^_^

A deeply moving, spiritual experience listening to this album. The final song Revelations is penetrating. If she wrote the words herself for that song without inspirtion from a written or verbal source, then in she is a guru in disguise.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yoko Ono Is On The Rise!, November 26, 2005

I have every full length Yoko Ono cd available, and I love each and every album of hers. This album though, is perhaps one of my very favorites (if not my ultimate favorite). I recommend this to any fan of Yoko Ono's, and also to the ones that are wondering what her music is like.
Yoko Ono's popularity has gone up more and more within the past few years, because of the success with the songs they continue to remix, and I think it's great that more and more people are getting into her music. It's unbelievable that so many people dislike her, but don't know what her music and/or what her art is like. Yet, there are so many musicians out there that credit Yoko Ono for inspiring them, and now more and more people are getting inspired by her. GREAT ALBUM, HAUNTING SONGS, WONDERFUL LYRICS!
