Let's start off where we sometimes do, with the cover. It was put together by John Lennon himself, and let me tell you, it... could have been better. I mean, it looks kind of like an eight year old did it. Not his greatest work, in my opinion.
But luckily, the music is much better. There are several gems on this album, including the title track, "Bring on the Lucie (Freda Peeple)," "Intuition," and "Out the Blue." The track that makes this a bona fide John Lennon album is "Tight A$," a little elbow into the side of the censors. As you'll find out if you listen to some other Lennon albums, he always seems to have at least one song that takes a not-so-subtle shot at somebody who he doesn't like.
Rating: 4 thumbs up - It's a nice album. Though often overshadowed by as his two previous albums, Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, it is certainly a must own for any Lennon fan out there.
Now here's "Only People." Enjoy!
Pat is crazy.
