SMASH!

Poor John. That's all I have to say. Such an
incredible artist. Imagine is an amazing
album, I love it so much. It's a strong solid album
all the way through, and it doesn't lag at all.
The title song is stark and bare in its vocals, which
gives a jolt of reality, but is very rich in its
instrumentation. (Which might I add, gradually
increases). "Crippled Inside" is one of the "fun songs"
so to speak; it's kinda country with the honky-tonk
piano thing going for it which masks the dark lyrics.
At times though, it can be a little overdone.
"How Do You Sleep" is probably the most haunting song
on the album but wonderful all the same. It's different
from most of the tracks, but in a good way. The
powerful lyrics of "Gimme Some Truth" are highlighted
wonderfully by the frustration in John's vocals- once
again they add reality and emotion to the piece,
something that can be hard to do. On here though, it
is pulled off wonderfully. Go buy this one now if you
don't own it.
