In his Plastic Ono Band John takes the honesty of his last Beatle songs as far as it can possibly be taken, wrenching each word and note straight from the gut. At the time, Lennon told Jann Wenner: "The poetry on this album is superior to anything I've ever done because it's not self-conscious...." Of the equally minimalistic music he said: "I always liked simple rock.... I was influenced by acid and got psychedelic like the whole generation... but when you just listen, the piano does it all for you, your mind can do the rest.... I don't need anything else."
John called the album his "Sgt. Lennon," and many critics seemed to agree with him. Yet Plastic Ono Band's impact owed as much, if not more, to non-musical factors as any Beatle record had. Many of his new songs were like unpolished entries in the most private of diaries; their meaning, or lack of it, depended upon the nature of the listener's relationship with John Lennon. If only within the context of the man and his previous work, Plastic Ono Band was a powerful, fascinating and at times heartbreaking document.
