None of it sounds like it was meant to share album space together, but somehow The Beatles creates its own style and sound through its mess.
If somebody says that the Beatles are the most normiest or simplest rock band ever show them this shit
Amazing
So many options, so little time, this album really packs a punch. It's just the best conglomeration of many different tracks from any band. Like seriously, pretty much everything on this album has a different style, and that's the appeal. Also Take 17 of Helter Skelter > the original don't @ me.
Color: Navy Blue
FAV TRACKS: Helter Skelter (original and/or Take 17), Happiness is a Warm Gun, Sexy Sadie, Dear Prudence, Good Night, While My Guitar Gently Weeps
LEAST FAV: Birthday

Seriously, While My Guitar Gently Weeps alone would carry this album to at least a 7

After the sublime album "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Band Club" which forever revolutionized the face of rock and after the mixed success of their film "Magical Mystery Tour", everyone was waiting for the return of the Beatles. The Fab Four decide to flee all this to spend a few months (for John and George) in India with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, great guru of oriental meditation. This stay allows them to return with about forty titles more or less finished. This will give birth ... read more
While there is quite a lot (in fact too much for some) and it does suffer for filler at points, this is The Beatles at their craziest, weirdest, most experimental, oddest, wildest, and yet somehow most accessible. Both disks have their highlights, and both disks have their flops, but both disks are wild experiments from one of the biggest bands or artists...possibly ever.
