John Lennon, ‘Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection': Album Review
Mind Games was meant to be a return to form for John Lennon, after an instantly dated protest album that felt didactic and cold. He certainly seemed to be back on track with its opening Top 20 hit title song. But the rest of Mind Games could be a strangely ruminative and often mid-tempo, with a shaggy studio approach. Mind Games: The Ultimate Collection makes it clear who fans should blame: The producer.

If you didn't like Aerosmith's '80s catalog, there's a good chance you hated their '90s output.
