Title: A Few Bright Spots But Otherwise Overrated
Review: Being 41 years old, I have been a Beatles fan for practically all of my life. The amount of quality work McCartney and Lennon (Yes Yoko, I changed the sacred batting order. Deal with it!) churned out in the span of eight years was extraordinary. Though at the time friends, they must have been fiercely competitive and drove each other to achieve what they never would have achieved separately. This is evident in much of their solo work. Though both have had some nice moments, they have never done anything solo that has broken new ground. Though touched by the simple poetry of Imagine, I am thoroughly bored by the tune and question the longevity the song might have endured had Lennon's life not been so abrubtly ended. When I listen to "How Do You Sleep" I wonder what is was that McCartney did to piss Lennon off. It must have been pretty bad!
