CRITIC REVIEWS

Indulgent, sprawling, overflowing with ideas and excess, the White Album became not only a monument to unbridled creativity but a rock archetype.

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.

Because basically, the Beatles' adventure in their management was almost irreproachable until ... read more
I unironically love Revolution 9. The first time I heard it, I was reading the Wikipedia entry for Charles Manson and it scared the crap out of me.
The Beatles revisited part 11/16
The White Album shows The Beatles perfecting the art of the filler album. While an album which is probably about 80-90% filler may seem like a bad idea on the outside, and most artists end up failing disastrously by doing something like this, The Beatles succeeded at not only making by far the best filler album, but one of their best albums ever.
I wouldn't be surprised if me calling the White Album – by far one of The Beatles' most renowned works ... read more
