    I think is Lennon's best. Criminally under rated.
    Why I think it's better?
    It's impeccably produced unlike the Spector previous albums and the awful wall of sound, and unlike Walls and Bridges which is heavily over produced. The live version of Walls and Bridges contained in one side of Menlove Avenue are the ones to go to.
    Seriously, Aisumasen, I know I know, Out the blue, Mind Games, One day at a time, Meat City, You are here. All these phenomenal songs.

    John's POB was his best.

    My Favorite but not his best.
    Walls and Bridges. Underrated.
    Mind Games has its moments.
    Title Track is one of his best.
    I always felt John Voice should be right out front like POB.
    Bring on Lucie should be played loud along with Meat City it Rocks. Out of the Blue and I know are great as well.
    John's Box Sets are done really well.

    I AM a HUGE Beatles Fan - but in the cold light of day, HIS solo output was far below Paul's in terms of quality and quantity. I like MindGames the song, and - of course - another 9 or 10 of his 1970s output, but after the Beatles he simply never reached anything like those heights again - after 1974, certainly. Just my view - sorry if it offends. IMHO Only McCartney's Band On The Run truly stood comparison with The Beatles' albums.....and certainly Lennon loved that album. Still hard to believe that when they broke up they were aged 27 to 30 - what might they have done TOGETHER in the 70s ?!?!

    I’m a Lennon guy all the way. John Lennon is the beatles as far as I’m concerned. However, there came a point where he just lost it. By 73 he was washed and out of ideas. Plastic ono and imagine are amazing. After those it was all mediocre. 3 to 4 strong cuts from new york city, mind games and walls/bridges is about what you get.
    ‘The luck of the Irish’ on new york city is a beautiful song though

      @catsofsherman1316 I'm not crazy about his solo stuff apart from the first album. These album's are ok, but I don't love them, I just like them. I like a few songs from this one, but I'm more interested in the packaging itself. He never made anything that even touched that first album

    • @classicalbum

      My opinion of Lennon's solo stuff still holds. I love the packaging and content, but this album is just ok apart from a spattering of tunes. He never made anything that came close to his first album. This set will probably be gifted to someone else

    • @jedikiah1541
      @jedikiah1541 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes. I agree the production does it no favours. That is why i intend giving the deluxe edition a listen. However, i still doubt many of the songs could potentially rise to the standard of the songs on Plastic Ono Band and Imagine. Aside from the brilliant title track, John just seems a little off. Out Of The Blue does have potential, and a few of the others are ok, but a little inconsequential. There is an aor feel to many of the songs, that may benefit from hearing the songs in a stripped down form.
      Sometime In New York City did suffer from a heavy handed approach that the songs had to be a message primarily, but a few were still decent (Woman Is The Nigger Of The World and New York City particularly), and i did like the sound very much of the Elephants Memory backing. With Mind Games there is much less to like (aside from as i mentioned previously the title track). There is something about Lennon's voice i find less appealing, too. He kind of sounds thinner and more pinched up.
