'Imagine' is widely regarded as the best
work from John Lennon's post-Beatle career. The contradictory nature
of John Lennon is evident when one compares the title track, long
been established as the anthem for peace, with 'How Do You Sleep',
a cutting attack on Paul McCartney. The disillusionment in 'Gimme
Some Truth' stands in stark contrast with John's belief in the power
of love expressed in 'Oh My Love.' Deep soul searching and brutal
honesty are presented in uncomplicated arrangements with grace and
delicate musicality in 'Jealous Guy' and 'How?'
