Released in 1973 after the dismal musical detour that was Sometime in New York City, Mind Games showed John Lennon returning to the emotional pop sounds of Plastic Ono Band and Imagine. But while the glorious title track (the album's only hit) was every inch a worthy successor to "Imagine," the rest of the songs were written off by most critics as half-baked experiments. In retrospect, most of them, while not classic stuff, are still better than the bulk of what passed for rock music in the early 1970s. "You Are Here" and "Out of the Blue" are definitely on par with Lennon's best solo work, while "Bring on the Lucie (Freda Peeple)" couches its political barbs in silly good humor. Even better is "Meat City," a rocker as wild and surreal as the "White Album"'s "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey." The 2002 remastered reissue is fleshed out with three "home version" takes of album tracks. --Dan EpsteinCustomer Reviews:
CRANK IT UP!.......2007-06-22
Meat City almost knocked me off my sofa! After hundreds of listenings, I'm hearing tons of new harmonies, keyboard accents, great bass notes and crisp and clean sound altogether. Alright, this has always been a favorite John album of mine. I bought it new and grew to love it. This remastered version put the Plastic Ono Band IN my living room.
Out The Blue, sung with great gusto and feeling, is an unknown classic, give it a listen. John's attitude is relaxed and seemingly content, especially in Freeda People (Bring on The Lucy).
I know (I know) has great vocals displaying Lennon's 50s infulence.
You Are Here featues great harmonies and keyboard by Ken Ascher...I thought it was Nicky Hopkins playing.
Back to Meat City....what a lost A-side, in my opinion. Fun lyrics and a sizzling lead guitar. I'll always love this record..uhhh CD. God, I miss John Lennon...it really was the end of the innocence in life for me..

Remixed Magic.......2007-04-21
This is a great Lennon CD and Peter Cobbin (Re-mix Engineer) at Abbey Road Studios has worked his magic once again (he also re-mixed the Plastic Ono Band and Imagine CD's). Just Fabulous!
Playing the Mind Guerilla.......2007-04-20
But then, years after his death, albums like 'Menlove Ave.' and the 'Anthology' boxed set--as well as the bonus tracks on reissues like this one--began showing up. And they demonstrated a rather startling fact: after 1971, nearly every one of Lennon's songs sounds better as an alternate take or in demo form than it did as an official release. In the cases of some songs--like "One Day at a Time" and "Bring on the Lucie," not to mention a good half of 'Walls and Bridges'--the improvements are revelatory.
Of course, the subpar quality of 'Mind Games' and its immediate follow-ups is not entirely a matter of production. The ideas here are not as urgent as they were a few years earlier, after the trauma of the Beatles' breakup and the ecstasy of John's immersion in Yoko, so the lyrics are a touch more vague, sometimes a bit rote (this album includes his worst-ever couplet, "Like a UFO you came to me/And blew away life's misery"-- now there's a mid-70s line for you).
But, as always, this most serious of artists was searching. There's no shame in "failures" such as this album. (And there are at least two songs that require no apology--the soaring title track and the great-in-any-form "Meat City.")
Understatement ahead: Beautiful........2007-04-06
"Mind Games," "Aisumasen," and "Out The Blue" are all sparkling love songs. The title track, perhaps best known, is totally exotic and cool. One of the best songs John ever wrote.
However, don't buy this CD just for "Mind Games"! This album ranks with the most thoroughly listenable in existence. From the sense of purpose that permeates "I Know (I Know)" and "You Are Here," uplifting the listener with every lyric, to the advice softly given by "One Day (At A Time)" and "Bring On The Lucie (Freda Peeple)," Lennon really delivers heart.
This CD release was worth it, too, for it has more of John Lennon's awesomely expressive drawings in the booklet as well as two great extra "home versions" (with the last one being a little annoying...but still good).
I also love the silence reserved for Nutopia that is included. Let us all take the time to belong in Paradise together. We CAN bring World Peace if we want it; if give of ourselves benevolently to everyone. AND WE WANT WORLD PEACE NOW!
I guarantee that everyone will like at least SOMETHING about MIND GAMES. After all, people do have ears. The music is less than twenty dollars, which is spectacular! (Considering that the pieces are all priceless.)

Mind Games.......2005-12-18
Mind Games is often overlooked because of its lack of hit singles. The only hit single was the opener and title track, 'Mind Games.' Even it didnt become a very big hit. Even though its a really nice song with reall good lyrics it isnt one of my favorites in fact it and 'Nutopian International Anthem' or NIA are my least favorite songs on the album.
With as good as this album is its not one of my favorite John Lennon albums. It's two laid back for me. The ballads out weigh the rockers and I dont like that. I love John Lennon for when he picks up a guitar and rocks out best. I love all his music but thats my favorite side of him, here you mainly just get him and the piano which he is good at and which I still like but most people cant sit and listen to that all the time, because its not that exciting.
'Meat City' is the song that closes the album, and in my openion its the best song on the album. Lennon picks up the guitar and rocks out. It reminds me why I love John Lennon and why so many where influenced by him. This song also reminds me why this isnt one of my favorite John Lennon albums. He plays very little guitar on this record. I love it when he plays guitar he is a very good player. Sometimes his playing even rivals the playing of his Beatle brother George Harrison who is concidered by players to be one of the all time best.
So to wrap things up this is a very good album, not John best but still a very good album. Its a little weak in some places but the good does out weigh the bad. I do think he could have done better but if he was happy with it when he released it then I guess thats all that matters in the end.
Keep on playing those mind games forever........2005-10-10
You've got to try this !!!.......2005-08-26
Well one of the best listening pleasures I have ever found, and I could just listen to continuously... and if you have a cd player with a 3-disc changer you have got to try it.
McCartney's Red Rose Speedway, Lennon's Mindgames, Harrison's Living in the Material World cds in a 3 disc changer on shuffle play! All three discs are from 1973 and almost sound as if they were made to fit together... they are albums a bit more obscure (than say Imagine, or Band on the Run for example) and seem fresher because of it. But these 3 discs fit together so well it really is amazing! By this time, the 3 of them were acheiving their own individual sound and style musically and lyrically (the Paul songs are very Paul, George songs are very George, and Lennon's are very Lennon), but the songs are also still Beatle-esque in their own way.
It is like having a new triple CD of the Beatles from 1973... has enough top quality hits like Mindgames, Hi Hi Hi, Give Me Love (Give Me Peace On Earth), and My Love. And has some great songs that would be given more weight if Beatle records, to add to the arsenal such as Meat City, That Is All, You Are Here, Mess (Live), Out The Blue, Hold Me Tight/Lazy Dynamite, Be Here Now, Only People, When The Night, Get on the Right Thing, The Light That Has Lighted The World ...
It is just so awesome... with the shuffle play you never know what is coming next. The songs sound great together, and hearing a John song, followed by a Paul, then a George makes them sound even so much better and fresh.
"Imagine," without the fizz.......2002-11-10
"Mind Games"--the song, shows just how brillant John can be lyrically. The backing is perfect for his wordplay. "Tight As" is a song where the production lets Lennon down. The backing thunders along but you really can't distinguish anything. There's a solo in here somewhere but its barely audible in this mix. This kind of aborts any power this track could have had. "Aisumasen" is one of those love it or hate it kind of songs. It's long and slow and most people might not have the patience to really listen to it but I think its phenomenal. The clear sound, good singing, great feeling and maybe the best guitar solo on an individual Beatles record, make this a killer track. It's followed by "One Day at a Time." This is a nothing song. This is the kind of song they play in hospitals to keep patients sedated. It's that bad and totally out of character for Lennon. Maybe he stole it from McCartney. "Bring on the Freda" is supposed to be a rocker but it doesn't go anywhere. Also, the steel pedal guitar is prominent in the mix--did someone forget to tell Lennon the steel pedal guitar is not a rock 'n roll instrument? It's too prevelant on this album to its detriment. "Intution" has some really good words although they are wasted with music that is way to poppy. "Out of the Blue" is a just a good song, period. "Only People" is one of those let's-all-sing-this-together type of song and like "Lucie" it doesn't have the force it should. "I Know, I Know" while having some interesting work by bassist Gordon Edwards is another underrated Lennon classic. Its just a superb song. "You Are Here" is a nice acoustic, insignificant filler track with very little going for it. "Meat City," the closing song, would probably be my choice for highlight of the album. John just cuts loose. The songs is a balls-out rocker the way "Lucie" and "Only People" tried(and failed) to be. I would give it 4 stars but I have to deduct one star for poor judgement and mediocre production. If you want to buy this album, buy "Imagine," first.
Love it! Just love the whole thing..........2002-09-20
I love it more than W&B's and the songs on here are so heartfelt and beautiful. I Know (I Know) is absolutely gorgeous. One Day At A Time...perfect. The only song I would ever call "weak" is Only People. But that's only because of that chorus. Anyway, its gonna be remastered and I'm going to get it. Its totally worth it. I always said, the only thing Mind Games ever needed was to be remixed and remastered and its happening. Yay! I'll be listening to it for a long time, that's for certain.

Album Description
The albums of ETERNITY X present a lot more than just one of the new Progressive heavy-metal editions, in a recently quite crowded genre (Both quantitatively and qualitatively). Each of them present a subtle blend of symphonic elements, powerful keyboards, fabulous guitar solos and modern rhythms. The first one called Once Upon A Dream (1991), the concept that presents the twelve astrological signs Zodiac (1993) and the third album Mind Games (1995) show a melodical heavy metal band that is only very little marked by the both symphonic and Progressive rock influences that would be perceptible on the following one with the arrival of a full-time keyboardist. It has to be said that The Edge (1997) is an absolute masterpiece. During both delicate or more energetic tracks, this album proves to be aggressive in its musical content, even though it respects at the same time the ears with very elaborate melodical lines. It can remind of a meeting between SHADOW GALLERY and DREAM THEATER (Perfect instrumental technique, melodical beauty, varied vocals that alternate with great success aggressive and bursting moments ). The beauty of this major works in this style will seduce both Progressive rock and heavy-metal fans as well as those who appreciate mature and ardent rock music. The moving and expressive texts, helped by the extraordinary aesthetic and always perfect vocals by Keith SUDANO (Let's mention the vocal similarities with Geddy LEE, Michael SADLER, Mike BAKER and James LaBRIE, or even Tommy ERIKSSON Of AGENESS !) draw a painting of musical colours that describe the characters from the inside and beyond the edge of eternity...Customer Reviews:
Wow.......2006-05-08
I had the honor of meeting Keith since he lives in my hometown and he was gracious and amongst the good guys of this world. From what I hear they are putting out more material and the band is reforming! Hallelujah!
