Plastic Ono Band (John Lennon)Get Rating Widget!

Overall Rating:3.62 based on 58 ratings
"Decades later it's a little hard to appreciate just how shocking Plastic Ono Band was at the time of its release. Yes, John Lennon's first post-Beatles solo album is still a must-own for any rock fan, but decades of punk, metal, and grunge have desensitized our ears somewhat to the naked howls of despair that fill tracks like 'Mother,' 'Isolation,' and 'I Found Out.' In addition, 'I don't believe in Beatles,' the climactic line of 'God,' doesn't have nearly the resonance as it did around the time of the Fab Four's breakup, when such a sentiment practically bordered on heresy..." - Amazon (Add picture)

What the f--k makes him, and anything the Beatles did for that matter, the best thing since the wheel? The Beatles were not God's gift to the world.

I am giving this thing 3 stars because I like its almost non-musical approach to music and the fact that it was so avante garde for its day. It was as if Lennon had decided to just go in the studio and freak out and do whatever came to mind. I sort of like it. Especially when compared to his later toned down and mellowed out solo releases. It's an aquired taste admittedly, but I sort of dig it baby, you know?

I think people may be confusing this record with some other album- Yoko doesn't even really appear on this album. It's a stripped down album- really just John, Ringo, and a bass playing old friend from their Hamburg days- and onetime Manfred Mann member and artist- Klaus Voorman. A very depressing and/ or angry album, impressive but not fun, sort of a session with a shrink on tape. Some of the songs aren't that hot and haven't aged all that well, and a fair amount of this album was almost nihilistic, inspiring a hilarious but insightful parody of Lennon called "Magical Misery Tour" from a young Christopher Guest when he was with National Lampoon a couple of years later. "Remember," "Isolation," and "I Found Out" are all good songs, and "Working Class Hero" was astonishing.

John Lennon made this band rock. Yoko Ono is a low point.
