By God, we're 10 pages in to the commentary as well.

And that's before Princess_BellybuttonZ has reviewed it too. gasp

Oh, it's finished.

It is over.

It was OK - and thankfully free of her legendary screaming - but very little of it seems likely to linger in the memory.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 3 stars.

Well, that was OK - often really quite pleasant, but ultimately a bit samey.

Her voice held up throughout in its fragile way and the playing was good.

In truth it would've been a much better album if one or two of the more frivolous numbers had been cut and "walking On Thin Ice" had've'd been included (track 1, side B perhaps).

Well, after the initial "OMG that's Yoko singing" novelty, that novelty value faded away gradually and there should have been fewer tracks. There were some interesting and quirky moments, though her "unique" voice got a little tiring after a while!

I can't currently decide on a score.

What happened to that?! I was fully expecting to hear it!

by Nightjar Tue Nov 02, 2021 7:57 pm

It just weren't on teh original album.

Soz.

In fact, from what I can tell from all of the releases featured on Discogs, even on all the later CD releases it was specifically included as bonus track.
