Amazon.com Strange as it seems now, the last album 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, is generally less successful--her voice works in a context of art-weirdness, but not as well in conventional tunes. --Douglas Wolk Similar CDs

CD ReviewsYes and No osapientia | Carson, CA | 06/06/2006 (4 out of 5 stars) "Double Fantasy is a great album. It includes some of John's best work from the eighties and reveals just how incredibly talented each of the beatles were. Just Like Starting Over is an eighties staple and jumps right of the speakers. Losing you is a kind of funky love/loss song and Watching the Wheels is just brilliant song writing. The problem that I have (and many others) is Yoko. Her singing is terrible, univocally speaking. However, there are moments of creativity that can be siphoned out of her work, if you dare. I also have to admit that alternating John and Yoko songs does make for an interesting listen. It works, as a whole.
Overall, it really is about John's music and his love, both musical and romantic. He wears it on his sleeve and produces a great album as a result." |
