Plastic Ono band (Gold Disc CD) - Lennon,John (CD 2003)Review created: 08/08/08
by:
This is a classic Cd or album. John Lennon's first after the beatles. I am a big Beatles fan and collect their albums or Cd's. This CD probably will never be played because it is a gold disc and classic.

still a great CD regardless of Yoko!Review created: 04/29/08

Okay, so a lot of reviewers both on the site and others have pointed out that Yoko ruined this album. I only partly agree, I think the message from John and Yoko was that hatred and tyranny are as old as time and during the late 60s hatred was alive and well. The hatred of anything different, different societies, different governments. I think John and Yoko were testing the audience to see just how peaceful they really were. Would an audience that was just singing give peace a chance suddenly become violent after listening to Yoko's crazy vocals? the idea that you have to except some things regardless of how hard they are to accept is the only way to achieve peace. I think that was the message here. And although, I do agree it puts a damper on an amazing recording, this was an amazing time and John would go to amazing lengths to spread his message. whether it be staying in bed for weeks on end, saying that he was bigger than god, or having Yoko shriek into the microphone for 20 minutes. You have to wonder, didn't they realize that people would react. My guess is that was the experiment. For that reason is a historical album that all rock fans should own.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.Review created: 02/26/08

I bought this CD as a MFSL Gold disc. I am personally blown away by the dynamic sound reproduction that MFSL and Remastered Gold CD's offer. MFSL producing Gold CDs has actually opened my ears to a much broader appreciation of music than if they had never been created. Bands like The Who, Jefferson Airplane, Blind Faith, and Traffic--which are all in my MFSL collection--probably wouldn't have been, if not for MFSL. The same can be said for John Lennon. I've owned several Beatles discs in the past, but they've either been lost, stolen or sold, other than The White Album. I purchased Plastic Ono Band not really knowing what to expect, but from the reviews I'd read, it apparently is the best of Lennon's solo work. Having listened to it for the first time this morning I am amazed at how his stabs at politics, education, religion, and socio-economic discrepancies still are right on target 30+ years later. It's as if we've had our heads stuck in the sand this whole time. That right there is a pretty powerful statement about this Disc. Another thing that had gotten lost for me over the years is just how good John Lennon's voice is. His thought-provoking lirics aside, the guy just has a wonderful singing voice. Buy Plastic Ono Band, and buy it on MFSL Gold.
