There a couple of Ono's very best songs on this collection i.e. "Dream Love" (which is in my top five Yoko Ono favorites) her sound effects and lyrics weave into one of her best vocal performances; "Spec Of Dust" is quite interesting with the usual insightful lyrics Yoko writes; and "It's Alright" hits the mark. Yoko is intellectual and cutting edge so when she gets emotional and middle-of-the-road (lyrically and musically) it seems unnatural and a bit sappy (though, her husband had just been shot and killed and she certainly had the right to feel however she did). I'm speaking strictly artistically. Her powerhouse "Season Of Glass" was full of emotion but there was the intelligence and cutting edge aspect that made it more than just a purging and catharsis. One of my main reasons for purchasing this CD was to hear the bonus track "You're The One" from the "Milk And Honey" CD. "Double Fantasy" and "Milk And Honey" had a very hip, to the point woman's voice about life and relationships. "You're The One" along with another song from the "Milk And Honey" CD makes it into my top ten Ono songs "Your Hands" (this one was directly connected into EBB's "Sonnets From The Portuguese") showed another side of Ono emerging. She could be avant-garde yet with form. She was still lightyears ahead of the rest. This CD is not an appropriate introduction to Yoko Ono's music. Buy her "Plastic Ono Band," "Season Of Glass" and "Rising" (if they ever put it back in stock) Cd's. ... ps: the intro to "Let The Tears Dry" was later used in her brilliant "Georgia Stone" part of the tribute paid to John Cage. This is one of the most brilliant, undiscovered moments in modern music. Again, Yoko is lightyears ahead of the rest and very much on track.

in late 1982, 2 years after the death of Lennon, Yoko Ono emerged with a new wave/pop album called "It's Alright (I See Rainbows)". The album topped out at a so-so #98, but most of it is because people didn't give it a shot. I believe had any other artist recorded this album and these songs in 1982, this album would've been a top 10 hit. People who dislike Yoko, HATE her, without any real reason except the tired "she broke up the Beatles" line. "My Man" is a cute new wave pop ballad that I think could've become a huge hit for Yoko had radio touched it. However, it's almost eerie considering "her man" was now dead. "Never Say Goodbye" was the most new wave moment on the album, the song is covered in synths. At first it starts out sounding like an upbeat catchy song, but midway into the second verse, it takes a turn for the darker, with a dub of John saying "Yooooooooookoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!" in the background, and also has Sean come in saying stuff. The song turns out very dark and sad, with an ending that almost sounds like a sci-fi film. "Spec Of Dust" was a very sad ballad about John. "Loneliness" was remade from a 1974 song she did, I think this is another song that could've been a huge hit had radio dare played Yoko. "Tomorrow May Never Come" is 50's flavored Yoko, a very catchy song. "It's Alright" may very well be the centerpiece of the album. Another synth-heavy sounding track. Starts with a young Sean coming into Yoko's room waking her up saying "mommy, you have to wake up", and in many ways, represents a crossroads for her. The song deals with the fact that she's still sad in many ways, but she knows deep down everything will be alright in the end. Another "coulda been a smash" on this album "Wake Up" is reggae-tinged, kind of a followup to It's Alright. Probably the weakest track on the album. "Let The Tears Dry" is a haunting song. A very plain arrangement that almost sounds like she's singing in the middle of a war-zone. The song has plenty of "explosions". It's a depressing song and also one of the very best Yoko ever recorded. "Dream Love" is the "power ballad" off it. People who hate Yoko's voice should take notice to this song, SHE CAN SING!!! "I See Rainbows" is a positive way to end the album. A cute, albeit short, song stating that Yoko's making her way out of the tunnel and is emerging again. The bonus tracks: "Beautiful Boys" is a demo from the 1980 song off Double Fantasy. If you like that song, you'll like this. Basically the song on piano. "You're The One" (Remix) is an extended dance version of the Milk And Honey track. Had this been released as a 12", Yoko would've scored dance hits BEFORE her recent run. The song transforms into a great dance-pop number. Even if Yoko isn't your cup of tea, try this cd out. I once played it for a friend who never liked Yoko, but loved stuff like Human League and Depeche Mode, and he went crazy over this when I played it. Get over your preconcieved notions about Yoko before listening to her, she's very eclectic and not everything she does is "screaming like a cat in a blender". This is easily her most accessable record
This is one of two albums that would be ideal to introduce anyone to her music who does not know it (the second being 'Seasons Of Glass') In many ways, this is more 'poppy' than her others and is recommended to new listeners of her work for that reason. With tracks like 'My Man' and 'Tomorrow Never Comes', there are also plenty of other 'hooky' type songs. This album features one of Yoko's most thought-provoking collection of lyrics set to the beautiful masterpiece that is 'Spec Of Dust'. The title track is the most memorable and tuneful of what is one of Yoko's shorter albums.
Yoko has never released a bad album, but this has to be one of her very best!
