Rating: Second album of the much-talked-about trilogy that became a symbol of the love of one of the most famous couples in rock: John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
He, the famous former member of the Fab Four and creator of a series of solo albums with unforgettable songs, and she, a conceptual and complex artist, daring, rebellious and feminist. The Ying and the Yang, two opposite personalities who, like in chemistry, are opposites that attract and create works like these, where it seems that the schizophrenic passion and creativity of the Japanese musician have stifled the pop-rock melody of the talented Lennon, where experimentation prevails more than music, sounds more than songs.
The opening is "Cambridge 1969", an extremely irritating and excessively extreme composition that runs for almost half an hour, "No Bed For Beatle John", a very successful and muffled song, with Yoko improvising a hypnotic chant that seems to be sung by a geisha and John barely perceptible in the background mumbling something but practically nonexistent, "Baby's HeartBeat", concrete music of an abortion, "Two Minutes Silence", a two-minute absurdity of absolute silence, "Radio Play", with John playing with a small radio, and the final muffled "Song For John" and "Mulberry", acoustic.
Nevertheless, not a bad record, despite being targeted by criticism, but rather an example of interesting experimentation and never self-indulgent, although perhaps it's just a little indulgence of a star.
