 How Wonderful is This! November 6, 2006

I'm so glad that my gorgeous partner bought me this CD. What a beautiful set of songs. It's gone into my instant classics music. That's the stuff I know I'll be listening to regularly, and loving for decades. I really do recommend this to anyone who loves good music. There is definitely a Lennon sound going on in there, but it's his own voice and it works brilliantly. And there's a really fantastic DVD to go with it - brilliantly realised videos to many of the songs on the album. Thanks Sean. Just beautiful! Am I ranting? Believe me, I don't often, lol.

Beautiful, psychedelic and dreamy! Great flow to the album just press play and let it drift! Resembles his dad but also has his own style, a more softer laid back style.

Addictive tunes June 7, 2007

I came across this album by chance when browsing the internet as I didn't know Sean Lennon was putting out music but I'm glad I discovered him. I found the album addictive and 8 months on, am still listening to it. It's a pity it has had no airplay in the UK as far as I'm aware. Check it out, it's brilliant!
Friendly Fire is a real Spectacle May 20, 2008

'Friendly Fire', the second solo album from Sean Lennon, is, quite simply, one of the most wonderful, beautiful albums to have ever been released. Essentially a break-up album, Sean conveys hurt and betrayal while still being able to barely maintain a fragile dignity and sense of wonder at the whole crumbling of a relationship. Quite honestly, many poor reviews you will see of this album will be those who have approached this record with some kind of expectation based on who Sean is rather than what the album sounds like and have easily dismissed it without thoroughly absorbing it. Big mistake.

br /Although there are a few songs that leap out at you on your first listen, this is a textured, complex and subtle album which you will appreciate more each time you take time out to give it another play. With each playback, the songs reveal themselves and, given time, you will wonder how you ever (perhaps) thought that it sounded a little 'samey' when you first heard it. In fact, the closest musical reference to 'Friendly Fire', for me, is probably Elliott Smith. Gorgeously melodic, beautifully recorded food for the mind, heart and soul.

br /The album, as a whole, is a near-perfect piece of art and it is very difficult to pick highlights or favourites. For example, 'Parachute', 'Spectacle', 'On Again Off Again', 'Would I Be The One' and 'Falling Out Of Love' are all magnificent and - I suppose - my true standouts, but the other half of the album isn't far behind at all. 'Would I Be The One' is - officially - a Marc Bolan song but the original bears little resemblance to the song on this album. I have to say that Marc's rather basic rendition doesn't hold a candle to the shimmering, immense song featured here. One of those cover version which become so much more than the original concept.
br /
br /The DVD is a brilliant feature of this release and should not be overlooked. You get the whole album, together with videos for each which are, on the whole, fantastic. It is evident that Sean is an accomplished artist as each song is presented with a thought-provoking, sometimes amusing, sometimes baffling visual story which, as a whole, leaves you with no doubt as to the man's creative talent and imagination.

br /One of my very favourite, more listened to albums of all time.
Dont take any notice of those other ridiculous reviews January 12, 2008

This album is incredible. Sean's compositions are amazing and he is a genius in his own right. There are some similarities between his and his fathers music but not many. Any idiot can listen to someone using diminished chords and augmented chords and think oh yeah thats just a beatles rip off. But his songwriting style is unique as you will find if you hear this album. It sounds closer to Brian Wilson than his father. Start to finish there is not a weak track on on Friendly Fire. It took me about 2 weeks just to get past the first four tracks which are incredible. You won't be disappointed if you give this a chance. I know this is a big call, but this album is better than any of his fathers solo work ( aside from the Highlights on Imagine - jealous guy - oh my love - imagine).
