 ... and others proclaiming it to be a deep, passionate, honest and emotional catalogue of self-proclamation. Although I love Double Fantasy as a whole, for me there are a couple of dodgy, almost 'no-no' tracks on there, one of which is Yoko Ono's self-penned Beautiful Boys. I don't have any axe to grind over Yoko Ono as I believe that, although somewhat strange, her to be a genuine person with her heart in the right place, but her avant-garde style of singing/songwriting, particularly on this track, presents to me as...more

Double Fantasy - John Lennon: The emergence of a gentler Lennon (1291 words)
by - written on 10/02/13 (Very useful, 64 readings)
Rating:

During the summer and autumn of 1980, and after having (apart from a few little contributions to other people's music and some 'messing around' sessions) had a break from the music business to concentrate on a life of domesticity, John Lennon felt able to return to the recording studio to make a new album. The first result was Milk And Honey which later during 1981 saw some chart success, with the second and final being Double Fantasy. The first single released from Double Fantasy, (Just Like) Starting Over, was given a decent amount of radio airplay and it slowly began to creep up the charts, step by step. Very shortly after the release of Double ...  Read the complete review

Almost a Double Fantasy (214 words)

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 ...  Read the complete review

Double Fantasy - John Lennon: Double Fantasy... One good side of songs... (498 words)
by - written on 04/04/10 (Very useful, 21 readings)
Rating:

Double Fantasy is the last solo album by John Lennon before his murder in 1980 by Mark Chapman. It was recorded at the Hit Factory between August and September 1980, released by the Geffen label and is 45 minutes long. It was produced by John Lennon, his wife Yoko Ono and Jack Douglas. History It was possibly this album that led to the death of John Lennon, an event that can be traced back to the release of Paul McCartney's single 'Coming Up'. For five years Lennon had happily enjoyed his semi-retirement in New York, raising his young son Sean and retreating from the media spotlight. But one night while watching television Lennon saw the video ...  Read the complete review

Oh no, it's Yoko!! (129 words)

Rating:

Half of this album is really good and shows John Lennon back on form. The other half consists of songs that have been written and performed by Yoko Ono and to be honest with you they aren't far from awful. The beginning of the songs sound pretty good, but then she starts singing and you can't listen to any more. 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

Yes there are some great Lennon tracks on here, why he put Yoko's on I'll never know, there again love is blind must be deaf as well. Yoko aside there really are some great tracks on here Watchin the wheels, Beautiful Boy and Woman. One line i'll always remember "Life is what happens while your busy making other plans" There again i'm biased I used to pay half a crown to see the Beatles and Lennon was always my favourite. ...  Read the complete review
