Walls and Bridges was recorded during John Lennon's infamous "lost weekend," as he exiled himself in California during a separation from Yoko.
Lennon's personal life was scattered at the time, so it isn't surprising that Walls and Bridges is a scattered itself, containing equal amounts of brilliance and standards.
Falling between the two extremes was the bouncy Elton John duet "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night" whose bright surface was replicated throughout the record, particularly on rockers like "What You Got" but also on enjoyable pop songs like "Old Dirt Road."
However, the best moments come when Lennon is more open with his emotions - "Going Down on Love," "Scared", "Steel and Glass," and the beautiful, soaring "No. 9 Dream" are amongst of the finest tracks he recorded
