Bob Geldof has made the best John Lennon album ever. OK, in places this album sounds a lot like Lennon, but Geldof has taken Sex, Age & Death further than any solo album Lennon ever made. This album draws influences from everywhere. In the middle of the album, on Mudslide, there's an almost spoken introduction, and Roger Waters style darkness in the verses, sitting alongside poppy Beatlesque choruses.
