Imagine

Still hard to believe this Album came out in 1971. It's one of the best ever. I would vote it easily one of the best of the century. Only reason it is 4 stars is because of Yoko. I don't care for her and wish he had recorded without her, but regardless it is still one of the best. Also, it has a lot more soul than most people realize or ever knew. It's so hard is one of the best songs most people have never heard.

This is a great album - no question, and I have no complaints about the remastering. But what bugs me is that the original vinyl from the early 1970s was available in quadrophonic (the early version of 5.1), so given this already exists, was released while John was alive (and therefore, you would assume, happy with it), why not put this version out?
You know we'd all buy it again...

Very good outing for John, George plays a mean guitar. A must for Lennon fans.

Yes fame and a creepy wife doesn't do you good as it tends to rattle your brain, this album goes a long way in proving that Lennon was a walking talking contradiction, the man was nuts and went off to spread a vile message of `peace only through humanity" over the globe, only to be proven wrong by the justifiable hand and trigger of fate Hey John, how's the heat down there going for you? Is it hot enough, ha! Where can I buy Mark David Chapman a man of the century award

The song "Imagine" will probably be forever considered to be John Lennon's signature song. The album, likewise, will probably be considered his best album. I'm like many others when it comes to John Lennon, "Imagine", though not my favorite song composed by him, is certainly one of the first to come to mind. The album Imagine was a major shift in composition from its predecessor Plastic Ono Band. Plastic Ono Band was raw & powerful, full of angst & anger, full of a man confronting his own demons, doing what he could to exorcise them. Imagine is a much calmer (saner?) album where Lennon has at least partially redeemed himself.

Outstanding tracks include the title song, "Jealous Guy" & "Oh My Love". But Lennon had yet to clear the air on everything; "How Do You Sleep" is a scathing attack on Paul McCartney that might have been more at home on Plastic Ono Band. This version of Imagine (the album) is remastered & is better for it. John Lennon will be best remembered for this album &, though it doesn't quite measure up to Plastic Ono Band, it's still an excellent album. It would be the last really good album that Lennon would release.
