This recording is a borderline criminal offense


Amazon should consider allowing for zero stars on their ratings and this album, in my opinion, would be right at the top of the CD releases. The making of this recording should have been a criminal offense.


Crap
If you were to put a turd in front of a great front band and have it scream, it still brings out the elitists who will say "By jove, I don't believe I have ever heard a turd scream--why, this must be some high new art form! I will prove my acceptance of art and distinguish myself amongst my other posers, and proclaim this enjoyable!" You are the same group that applauds the crufix in a bottle of urine as art. It kills me to see the Yoko apoligists here. Yoko is the same art form. Enjoy. .


The majority of the reviewers of this album seem ignorant to many things...
The music contained on this album is not for the majority of the population. I will elaborate. That much is clear. However, the music is a raw distillation of the essence of Yoko Ono and her husband John. Both individuals seemed unafraid of the consequences of releasing music unenjoyable for the majority. It was evident that John had been pushing the boundaries of music through the evolution of the Beatles. Also, it is apparent to me after reading many user comments and reviews of this album I found that most people despise the music's uniqeness and avant-garde aspects. Furthermore, their disapproval of the music inhibits unwarranted slander of the artist. It is ignorant to wrongly slander a musician with hateful words for expressing his or herself unaldulterated. It seems evident that the essence that flew through John and Yoko that happens to be trapped physically in the grooves of this recording generated the same sort of hateful insults from people when it was applied to politics rather than music. The tangent is obvious to me, perhaps not to everyone else. Both the music and the politics of these two lovers were considered avant-garde by the general populace and their reception of the man and the music, which is apparent on this site, is of unacceptance and slanderous hate. Why is it that when something is avant-garde or outside of normalcy do people fear it and in turn reject it with violence or persecution?? John is dead because he spoke his mind and purposed a planet without hate, without war, where man questions normalcy and constantly evolves through the acceptance of new ideas and the avant-garde. Why not leave Yoko alone and accept that her music is a transmission of raw spiritual peace many of us will never feel inside. The music is an expression of a reality that exists in the shadows of our souls but the majority of us fear to embrace. The Beatles were going to break up regardless of Yoko. And if you disrespect Yoko Ono because of her personality rather than her music, I ask you this, if Paul was so in love with Linda, why has he been such a man whore since? Why has Paul manipulated the Beatles music so in turn he could profit the most? Yoko Ono should be given respect alone for attempting to preserve the integrity of the Beatles music rather than allowing it to become a commodity. When the majority can listen to an unusual album such as this (or any other Yoko Ono record for that matter) and review it with intellectual discussion rather than prejudice and hate than perhaps the world will begin to resemble that which John and Yoko imagined. .


You must be kidding!
You'd have to be an idiot (or deaf) to listen to ANY of this garbage. The ONLY reason Yoko Ono had a recording contract was because she married a Beatle. In his career, John Lennon travelled a long way; most of it backwards. This nonsense is an insult to the really talented but struggling artists all over the world. This album wouldn't even make a good pizza tray. Heaven help us all! Just goes to show you; pack up some really rotten, stinking crap, tie it with a bow, and SOMEONE will go for it.


Please Read This Before denying this it's true glory!
Yoko keeps up her beauty while the world hates each other. This album is great. This album IS peace. This album is life itself. It is the beauty, and art of the song of nature around us that we seldom hear over our daily affairs, and we just go on our way, and forget about the song of the telephone, the toilet, and the birds. This song is avant garde at it's finest. All of the negative reviews are from those who are incapable of putting all of this into perspective. We love you Yoko. Keep up the message. Imagine peace.
