rating: 1 QuoteWedding album? A marriage made in hell, perhaps!Quote
John and Yoko scream at each other for almost half an hour. Yep.
George Martin made the understatement of the millennium when he said, "I'm not so sure that Yoko was a good musical influence on John."
John went from writing songs like "All You Need Is Love," and, "In My Life," to screeching with Yoko into a tape recorder. Avant Garde? How about self-indulgent, no talent, lazy BS? July 21, 2008

I just want to add my two cents:
I feel that given Lennon's wicked sense of humor,that these three records are probably more of a put-on to all the Beatlemanics,art critics,music industry boffos,etc.
With the exception of the recording of their unborn child's last moments of life,these records are a way of Lennon flipping us all off and purging himself as best he could of the Beatle myth;or he was trying to destroy the Beatle myth once and for all.He must have been busting w/ laughter thinking about how the public would handle these records.
We were not smart enough to figure that out,so John spelled it all out for us on the Plastic Ono Band LP track "God". That's one aspect to these recordings.
With the exception of the free-form jazzy stuff on Cambridge '69 with Ornette Coleman and the baby heartbeat-these records were not meant to be taken seriously.
Lennon was trying to show us a mirror image of our celebrity obsessions-we were and are too blind and stupid to be able to see and understand.The other aspect is:
Nexttime you listen; slap on the headphones,load up the bong and open the wine or whiskey and prepare to go on a hilarious journey with these two tricksters as Conductors-you can have your own magical mystero-comic trip.
as is appears: the sounds on these records have a catalytic effect on a brain that is turned on w/ the right combo of chemical helpers,such as the two mentoned above and the acoustic-entheogenic synergism can launch you into the outer limits...quite a lot of fun,by Jove!!! February 5, 2008

rating: 2 QuoteUnfinished Music No.3Quote
The third in a series of anti-popstar releases designed to, and largely successful in, knocking John Lennon off the pedestal his fans had erected for him. With his new avant-garde wife at his side -- and enough money in the bank to last a lifetime -- Lennon set about ruining his bank value so he could return to being a 'private citizen.' All three albums -- Two Virgins, Life With The Lions & Wedding Album -- are potent reminders of a simpler time when artists could experiment wildly (or just be very silly) and still get released and distributed (erm, somewhat). Rykodisc nicely duplicates the original packaging and the remastered sound quality is, for 1967, pretty darn good.

Of course you can't actually LISTEN to this stuff.... May 22, 2007

rating: 5 QuoteReally Shouldn't Even Be RatedQuote
This album is not supposed to be judged as music but to be experienced as some type of audio collage, a story, a documentation of that part of John and Yoko's life. If you give high regards to abstract art that has almost no bearing of any intelligent purpose behind it, such as a bicycle wheel hanging on museum wall as dadaist art (which it is, actually), why not give the same consderation for this album? Although it should be noted that this isn't perhaps the most inviting of John or even Yoko's body of works, it's definitely worth listeing to at least once just to know whatit even sounds like. It's almost as if rating this album is pointless because you can't. March 3, 2007
