Free Music Notes for Mind Games
Free Music Review: no mind games in terms of whether it's good or not
Hit: 5 Stars
Wow. People kept telling me to avoid John Lennon's Mind Games album, but I really am glad I didn't listen to any of them (no offense!)
The album cover is really great to me. I love it. I can sit there all day and look at just the cover alone, with the gigantic face looking straight up into the sky. A dreamy picture that one is. I've had dreams just like it, in fact.
Anyway, the music. The fantastic music! Obviously we won't find any songs as meaningful or powerful as "Imagine", but the title song, "Out the Blue", and Aisumasen (I'm Sorry)" are really top notch quality songs. I have no idea why so many people love the title song while ignoring a good part of the rest of it, claiming it's just inferior to the music Lennon has done in the past, or Lennon was going through a stage where he wasn't coming up with enough creative ideas, or whatever.
Other places you can find the lyrically memorable "Bring on the Lucie" (trust me, you'll remember the lyrics) and blues rock "Tight As", which sounds much different from the rest of the album. There's also a couple short, upbeat poppy songs with great lyrics ("Intuition" and "Only People"). Perhaps my favorite song from Mind Games (besides the title song) is "I Know (I Know)". Hard to believe this song wasn't a major hit. Listen to the way John pours his honest emotions into this one. I once again have to mention "Out the Blue". I truly love this song as well.
The only problem is "One Day (At A Time)". It's not a bad song. In fact, it's quite brilliant. It's just I prefer Elton John's version more. This version is quite mellow and laid back in comparison.
Yeah, the stuff on here is *slightly* worse (and quite mellow in spots) but it's really a rather enjoyable listening experience overall and worth owning.
Mind Games Poster
Released in 1973 after the dismal musical detour that was Sometime in New York City, Mind Games showed John Lennon returning to the emotional pop sounds of Plastic Ono Band and Imagine. But while the glorious title track (the album's only hit) was every inch a worthy successor to "Imagine," the rest of the songs were written off by most critics as half-baked experiments. In retrospect, most of them, while not classic stuff, are still better than the bulk of what passed for rock music in the early 1970s. "You Are Here" and "Out of the Blue" are definitely on par with Lennon's best solo work, while "Bring on the Lucie (Freda Peeple)" couches its political barbs in silly good humor. Even better is "Meat City," a rocker as wild and surreal as the "White Album"'s "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey." The 2002 remastered reissue is fleshed out with three "home version" takes of album tracks. --Dan EpsteinPop Music CDs
