    She broke up the Beatles. She's a slut.

    The word "Yes" apparently has special meaning to Yoko Ono. After all, it was the word her late husband first spied in that magnifying glass after climbing that storied ladder in that London art museum many years ago, causing him to refocus his love to this avant garde artist. Unfortunately, it doesn't answer the question as to whether this a good album. It isn't. It sucks. As The word "Yes" apparently has special meaning to Yoko Ono. After all, it was the word her late husband first spied in that magnifying glass after climbing that storied ladder in that London art museum many years ago, causing him to refocus his love to this avant garde artist. Unfortunately, it doesn't answer the question as to whether this a good album. It isn't. It sucks. As for Yoko being a witch, most Beatlemaniacs would concur with that assessment. Me, I don't have a problem with her attempting to be something she most assuredly is not, and that is talented. I do have a problem with those who fawn over her, more out of respect for her late husband and the ordeal she's gone through dealing with his murder, I'll wager. If it wasn't for John Lennon, well, think Kevin Federline without Brittany Spears. If cat-scratch vocals and simple melodies are your cup of tea, then by all means, check her out. I'll revisit the Plastic Ono Band if I want to hear anything with her name attached to it. At least there she knew her musical place - silent by her husband's side. Or high in the Dakotas, tending to his estate.… Expand

    This is a joke, right? The woman who's greatest achievement was getting John Lennon hooked on smack now merits an album of covers? And all by last year's hot bands. Snort.

    Like Nico, Ono was just in the right place at the right time and now we can't get rid of her. Forty years later and she is still shrieking and shrilling into a microphone over tape loops and artists that actually have talent like Antony are starting to realize if you can't end her, join her.

    by comparison, the exhumation of wind from my buttocks is more pleasant that this album

    She is at it again, mewling about how great she is, I'm all about self-indulgance, but her license is about out, no talented hack

    Ugh - my ears can't take more of her voice.

    In each case, a brand-new track has been crafted, but some work better than others. [10 Feb 2007]

    An excellent refresher course on Yoko Ono's endlessly underappreciated musical career. [9 Feb 2007, p.74]
