More recently, Garry Mulholland of Uncut magazine has described Some Time in New York City as "a contender for the worst LP by a major musical figure, its list of '70s left-wing clichés hamstrung by the utter absence of conviction within the melodies and lyrics". [17]
I really enjoyed Some Time in New York City, more than Mind Games and Rock 'n Roll, and probably about the same as Walls and Bridges. It's a step down from the first two post-Beatle records though, I guess that's probably why it gets a bad rap.
I do think Some Time in New York City is a decent album. Not his best, but it is not terrible and either. The studio side suffers from poor production and the political nature is a turn-off for me. If it is remixed though, the only downside of the studio side would be political.
I've heard that Sometime in NYC is Lennon's worst solo album, and the main criticism that seems to come up is that the songs are too political, which confuses me because some of his political songs, like Imagine, Happy Xmas, and Give Peace A Chance, are fantastic.
May 20, 2015 · John Lennon's 1972 album, Some Time in New York City, was a genuine & heartfelt attempt to make pop music meaningful in a way few artists attempt to do.
This is the one John Lennon album that is perhaps forgotten by most of his fans and considered his only real failure as far as anything he ever put out. Too bad, since it really isn't that bad of an album, in fact, it has to be one of the greatest protest albums ever made.
