Editorial Review:
Strange as it seems now, the last album John Lennon released in his lifetime was intended as a comeback, or rather as a parting wave at retirement: "Watching the Wheels" and "Beautiful Boy" celebrate the joys he found outside the star system, and "(Just Like) Starting Over" is a slightly awkward rocker about rejoining the domestic world that's also sort of about rejoining the pop world. The studio-pro arrangements are a little too slick, but Lennon rarely sounded happier. Ono, whose songs alternate with his in a series of thematic diptychs, was taking a stab at channeling her artier impulses into pop and is generally less successful--her voice works in a context of art-weirdness, but not as well in conventional tunes. This 2000 remastered reissue is fleshed out with a demo of "Help Me to Help Myself" and Ono's solo version of "Walking on Thin Ice," which was recorded on the same day her husband was shot to death. --Douglas Wolk

Rating:  - One of Lennon's best that Yoko almost ruins.
I bought during a strange stage in my life where I was trying to figure out where I stood and how I was going to stand there.

Pun intended.
Some back story on this album: it was the last studio release from John Lennon before his unfortunate passing in 1980. Most of the songs featured were ... Read More
Rating:  - Sympathy for that one song? Is that it?
Earl Slick and Rick Neilsen were the guitarists on this...album. But the juxtaposition of Yukko Ohno's..."songs" in between every one of Lennon's, kind of make this, his final album - a joke. "I'm Losing You" IS a good song, though..
Rating: - LAST OF THE GREATS
JONH SOUNDS GREAT AND FRESH AFTER HIS TIME OF. YOKO SOUNDS A LITTLE BETTER BUT NOT MUCH. I GAVE It 5 STARS JUST FOR JOHNS WORK.
Rating: - .................................................................
Many critics didn't like this album, but after John was murdered, many reversed their opinion almost immediately. I diss critics a lot, but here I will not diss them, as the tragedy and complete senselessness of John Lennon's murder still shocks people today. I can't imagine what critics, most of whom grew up on The Beatles, must have felt when they found out about John Lennon being shot. I was alive when it happened, but I didn't grow up during the 1960's, so I can't give any perspective, other than ... Read More
