Check this out: http://www.seanonolennon.com/forum.  Sean often posts there.

He has a new album out, "Friendly Fire", and for those who want to hear it, the whole album is streaming on VH1:

Sounds pretty good, I say.

Bump.  Here's a Sean Lennon cover, posted it on the board there and Sean listened to it.

I thought Friendly Fire was pleasant, if pretty light. Awful lyrics, surprisingly nice melodies. Sounds kind of like a Paul McCartney album in places, which is funny from Lennon's kid.

One thing I know: it's got to be a mixed bag being him. On one hand, you have a mediocre album but Capitol puts it out (realistically, if he were anyone else, he'd be on an indie label or not out at all). On the other hand...everyone will compare it to John and/or the Beatles, and there's no way he'll ever even come close.
