they lost me with earthly delights which while as skillfull as ever i found a bit emotionally too dark/heavy for me. what i always had loved about them was that while it was an intense sound there was always a joy and freewheeling energy there and that was gone from earthly delights-- maybe i misheard, maybe it was the timing, who the fuck knows. i should give it a relisten.

in fantasy empire the speed is maybe slightly slower (age happens) but their ability to squeeze out insane noise from their instrument has multiplied manyfold (age happens too). holy fuck they are destroying my brain and i am happy. thank you thank you thank you. i have waited so long for this.


I'm really glad to see that the record's striking such a chord with long time fans. I'm not sure I've ever seen you get so excited about ... anything!

I'm pretty damn pleased myself. I am dying to see them play this shit live. It's been years.

Campingsex - 1914!

Thurston once said this record was a huge influence on Sonic Youth, apparently. I've just discovered them this weekend and I can't stop playing it on my DVD player. I've been looking to buy a copy of it on the web but I can't find a reasonably priced copy.

Funny, I am just reading a book of progrock (first in Finnish) where this album is also mentioned as a kind of "preprog"-album. Going to listen this, there is also Familys Music In a Dollīs House mentioned that I have thought to listen for a long time.

John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band/first album.

as much of a Beatle fan as I am, I'm just hearing this album for the first time besides a couple of songs.

its great as great can be. why did I hear the other beatle solo albums first?

I havenīt heard also this even I am quite big Beatles fan. Actually only solos Iīve heard wholly are Lennonīs Imagine, Mind Games, RockīnīRoll & Double Fantasy -albums. Have to listen more someday.

Wow, really you guys?

Plastic Ono Band is absolutely required introductory listening for any Beatles fan. It should probably be the first solo Beatle record anyone hears. It's certainly the best, even though it sounds very little like any Beatles record, and is alarmingly stark and actually pretty goddamn deeply depressing compared to the Beatles' music.

Actually, if I had to start over I'd start with greatest hits releases. Then, straight into Lennon starting with Plastic Ono.

It's ny a record to throw on at parties or holidays, of corse.

gmku 04.10.2015 04:11 PM

True. Let's not forget Yoko's POB, though. I actually prefer it.

There are just too many great records in the world...well anyway I will listen this. Also have to listen Walls & Bridges, no idea how great the whole album is but #9 Dream is one of the greatest Lennon solo songs.

Just listened Fleetwood Macs Kiln House & Future Games. Not as great as Then Play On, but not bad also (Future Games is better of those two, album titled song is absolutely great!).
