Track 9 - How?

by Guest Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:37 pm

How?

Is it about how you don't know…

Oh, yes it is.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:38 pm

It's a bit stop/start.

by Guest Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:40 pm

He's the perpetual victim isn't he?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:41 pm

This'd be a good song if it didn't keep stopping.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:41 pm

Track 10 - Oh Yoko!

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:41 pm

by Guest Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:41 pm

Oh No!

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:42 pm

Yoko's giving him advice.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:43 pm

I do feel the album would have benefited from its exclusion.

by Guest Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:44 pm

This one's alright.

I think on Balance I prefer it to the less triple tracked over produced old version.

Problem is the famous ones are just unlistenable these days. And the Poxy Music version was better. sad yes

Guest star Bob Dylan on Harmonica.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:45 pm

Mouth organ.

The spirit of Dylan is strong with this one.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:46 pm

This is going on too long as well.

by Guest Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:47 pm

Not sure this need to be over 6 minutes long.

Quite like it though.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:47 pm

It's nearly over.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:49 pm

It is over.

That is an album upon which I felt the stronger songs benefited from the stripped-down sound but the weaker songs had their weaknesses exposed. Generally, I found it quite dull.

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

by Guest Tue Mar 17, 2020 8:51 pm

Hang on, I'm just going to check the old version

The string line is quite nice, but the plodding, oh the plodding…

Yes, I prefer the RAW version.

I'm still only giving it 2★ out of 5. It's not as totally self obsessed as his first album, but the songs are just so… Nothing.

Almost forgot, the original came with this postcard:

John Lennon - .Imagine (RAW rmx version!) (1971/2019) - Page 5 R-12103327-1528368201-9122.jpeg

I'm trying to avoid using the word 'petty' again, but it's hard not to. sad yes
