The last album, poignant of course, with the recent news that there is going to be the release of 'Help me to Help Myself', this is meant to be the final track Lennon recorded on the day he was shot, it brings sharply into focus 'Double Fantasy' The album was a return for Lennon and session out takes show a happy and eager Lennon laying down track after track, many of which went on to form 'Milk and Honey', but this is where for me the album falls down, the demos are great raw and full of that ttwist of Lennon, yet the finished version often sounds over produced and weak. yoko Onno does not dothe album any favours she had no real ...

However, the songs written and performed by Lennon are of the high quality that you would expect from him and confirm his position as one of the greats of pop music. I haven't got a clue why Lennon decided to include Yoko Ono's songs because the album could easily have survived without them. Still, it's worth listening to. ... Read the complete review

Pentecost III - Anathema
Unparalleled gloom, and a long-awaited resurrection of these vital releases.
May lead to suicidal tendencies or manic depression. Okay for pregnant women though.

Innovative Australian prog metal.
Disappointingly repetitive and American.

Very little
If Emotions Still Burn - Ablaze My Sorrow
A pleasant surplus of lead guitar melodies balanced out with some angry death metal.
Overly repetitive, and too similar to Dark Tranquillity and others to truly stand out.
Every Second Counts - Plain White T's
Hey There Delilah is a classic song
Could be longer
Dominate - Adagio
Competent and enjoyable progressive power metal.
A couple of terrible songs, and far too derivative of Symphony X.
When The Kite String Pops - Acid Bath
Innovatively harsh-sounding, and effectively violent.
Too aggressive at cost to creativity, and not enough focus on pure doom metal.
