Customer Reviews Lennon's Great Comeback Album The collection of songs he wrote are the best since Imagine. Sadly, this was John's final work that was finished. Just Like Starting Over, Woman & Watching the Wheels are classics. Beautiful Boy is simply beautiful & moving. I'm Losing You has a bit of an edge to it that I like a lot. Cleanup Time is a good number, while Dear Yoko probably is the weakest of the bunch, but still not bad. Then there comes Yoko. As a writer she is not in the same league as John and her songs really bring down the record and cost it a star. Her best song is Hard Times Are Over. The rest are ok, but average at best and occassionally she throws in a bizarre vocal sound that adds nothing to the song. Her singing is passable. Yet she was the one who got John back into the studio again and I thank her for that. This was a great farewell album for us all. Such a happy (and sad) record at the same time Yoko's stuff needs to be given a little time, but it really grows on you. This is a beautiful album. I can assure most everyone that John's stuff is amazing, beautiful, breathtaking, etc. what you would expect from a man who seemed to have found a more content state of mind. His songs are amongst his best, and possibly everyone has heard most of them. But "I'm Losing You" is a stand-out, and "Cleanup Time" is very underrated. The production is slick and there is a vibe of happiness within this record. This is the first John Lennon album I ever got, and I automatically fell in love with his music from this point on. There will always be people who have problems with Yoko, but she's a pretty darn good songwriter, and her music is nearly always excellent on here. Her singing. . . uhh. . . it grows on you. (Hey people like Dylan so much. . . he sounds even worse!) Anyway, buy this record because it is very worth it. What Shouldn't Be This album would be really great, if ol' Yoko's stuff wasn't there. Now, I bought this album recently and listened to it several times through. She's not exactly the greatest songwriter or singer. John's stuff on the album is great, like Cleanup Time and Woman. Some of Yoko's stuff takes some time to get used to, but they should have just put their songs on their own albums. .
