One Track Mind: John Lennon, "I Don't Wanna Face It" (1984)

NICK DERISO: A still-resonant tune with biting introspection, John Lennon's "I Don't Wanna Face It" begins with the smeared sound of a tape machine engaging -- this powerful reminder that "Milk and Honey" includes the incomplete, posthumous recordings a murdered genius.

Even so, you'll find that all of the parts are still there, though they are scattered about, in this half-chiseled monument to creative rebirth for Lennon: He works in antithesis, throws away a bit of ageless wisdom, acts a little silly. All inside of "I Don't Wanna Face It."
