After the incredible conclusion of Abbey Road, Let It Be is placed very awkwardly within The Beatles' discography, as it does not have the scale or satisfying conclusion of a final album for the best band of all time, which makes it feel a bit mid and anticlimactic by comparison. It is only enhanced by all the music being recorded before Abbey Road. Plus, the album was released when The Beatles were actively breaking up, which makes the album show stains of the conflict in the band. Many ... read more
This is the definition of a perfect album, and it serves as an incredible conclusion to the best band of all time (if only that were the case). All of the boys are working at their A-game, with George delivering the best Beatles songs with Here Comes the Sun and Something (my favorite Beatles song), which are just two incredible tracks that feel like the band at their peak. John delivers straight rock bangers with Come Together and I Want You (She's So Heavy). Paul gives us the best ... read more
Calling this an album is a very massive stretch. While I do not find this unlistenable, it definitely lacks memorability. While The Beatles’ songs on here are okay, they lack memorability and feel like songs of lesser quality that were straight up just dumped on here for monetary reasons.Though I do love Hey Bulldog as a fun and quirky rock bop. John’s dog impression is so peak. Songs like Only a Northern Song and It's All Too Much are kind of interesting, but they have the ... read more
Ahhhhh!!!!!!
This album has the most tonal whiplash I’ve ever experienced on a single project—and I love it. The variety is genuinely insane, and while there isn’t much cohesion at all, the constant genre switch-ups feel really fun, even if they’re chaotic at the same time. You can tell the band was acting more individually here, with songs like Blackbird or Julia feeling like solo compositions, and tracks like Piggies sounding like something only George would make. ... read more
The album cover speaks absolute volumes!! This album is waaay weirder and wackier than Sgt. Pepper’s, which I absolutely love. From the opener, I genuinely felt transported on a magical mystery tour with the fun entrance bop at the beginning. From there, Paul sings a quirky but dark song with “Fool on the Hill,” which is my personal favorite off of the album. “Flying” is a great instrumental that genuinely sounds ahead of its time. While “Blue Jay Way” ... read more
While many songs here are not all that memorable when the album succeeds it is very fun with songs like the fantastic opener Band On The Run and it continues right away with another Banger in Jet. I absolutely love some of the songs on here, you can feel the talent of Paul Mccartney in this album as he comes into his own without the Beatles.I am also a sucker for song returns on albums and this definitely scratches that itch for me.
Some of his best lyrics to date is one this album but the mixing and samples did not feel particularly inventive or memorable on this album with some weak points.
While many songs on here still go so hard I did find this project to feel a bit hollowly cohesive and while there are high points there are many mid points as well but I still do love the lyricism and sound.
Like his last album many songs here are not great great and all of the samples can feel a bit suffocating at times, but damn the lyricism and overall messages are so good here.It definitely comes together better then his last album.
I also love the album cover and the song that samples Breakfast In America!
Not every song here works for me but when it all comes together it goes very hard.
WOKE IS BACK!!!
This album is an absolute quirkfest, and I love it! From the opening track, the Beatles have completely left the playground they had been playing in before. While Revolver and Rubber Soul are great albums, they mostly stay within a certain kind of space, but Pepper’s leaves that behind, with every track feeling creative and unique. And while not every song is perfect, they all have such a strong level of ambition that it creates an album where every track is distinct and memorable. I also ... read more
WOW! This Revolves Hard!
Revolver is by far the Beatles first true masterpiece. It takes everything they had done before and completely elevates it, pushing rock and music forward through bold experimentation while staying true to their core. The album constantly surprises you, with sounds and ideas that feel way ahead of their time. Tracks like Eleanor Rigby show the elevation as it is strulya beautiful but depressing song that is their first true deviation from what had come before.I also ... read more
Right out of the gate, Rubber Soul throws you into some of the most solid Beatles songs yet, with a great six-song run to start the album, featuring bangers like Drive My Car and the gorgeous, unique Norwegian Wood, which feels like something completely new for the band. Along with the musical upgrades, you still get classics that stay true to their roots, like Michelle and George’s If I Needed Someone, which shows his songwriting promise.
While every Beatle gives a good performance, ... read more
