Just a classic, chill rock mood.
Some real classics on this album but it's so bloated by so much other random stuff it makes it a difficult listen.
3.5/5 - Good album for the first 1.5/3 discs/sides, but it's not wall to wall bangers. Revolution 9 is awful though and taints the whole experience.
I think this could have been a 5/5 but it's just too bloated with songs that, in comparison to the really good songs, feel like filler, there just isn't enough good content for a double record. I'm not sure revolution 9 should even be included on any album, sounds like a bad Stockhausen cover. As a result a high 3. Highlights include while my guitar gently weeps, blackbird, helter skelter, ob-la-di, ob-la-da and glass onion.
It was a really long album since it was a double album. I'm generally not a fan of super long albums especially if it meanders through the songs. There were some standouts but most were forgettable and there was really no consistency which made me think that I was still on the same album. It's a fine listen but nothing crazy. Also didn't listen to it that focused so that may be a factor
How fuckin long is this thing. Jesus. It's good, but Christ they keep going
Some hits and some weird duds.
Mixed bag of songs, some of their best some of their worst…
3.36 per track. Some weird tracks on this.
I know it’s a revolutionary (haha) album but it’s not the most listenable thing and has a lot silliness that feels like what a band who can do anything would do. The high points are amazing.
Better than I expected given my general lukewarm feelings toward The Beatles. The first track was my favorite, though a few others stood out as good songs also.
No
My scale is: 5 - Pretty much perfect. 4 - In my Spotify list. 3 - Perfectly fine and listenable. 2 - I didn't enjoy listening to or got annoyed by the album. 1 - Couldn't finish the album.
Some nice songs but not too many standouts for me.
Good album, Beatles not really a band I like.
Eclectic.
Too long. Not as good as other Beatles albums
this album could have (should have) been 8 songs long and it would have been great. Instead you get artists who have reached the point where they thing every single musical fart they come up with is soooo important and has to be heard by the masses.
Any song that mentions a woman's name is a no. Some decent ones. Back in the U.S.S.R. is a bop, and Helter Skelter is really good. ob-la-di is decent. bigger hits aren't too bad. bungalow bill would be much better without the background vocals.

Half these tracks are great, some of my favorite Beatles songs (Blackbird, Rocky Raccoon, Back in the USSR) and the other half are mediocre at best and obnoxious at worst. I guess that kind of speaks to what was going on with the band at the time. Does it work as an album? Not for me. A 45 minute cut of this would be much better imho. Maybe you had to be there
Ive never been a huge Beatles fan. I recognize their impact on music, I just never got on that train. Some of the tracks are fantastic, and some are just silly nonsense. Wild Honey Pie, Bungalow Bill, Piggies, Ricky Racoon? Hope this classic gets better.
Way too many "fuck around" songs and the classics are too few
Some gems, some junk. The experimentation is cool but hardly worth replaying.
Fine, couple of good songs
This is everything that I expected it to be: overlong, bloated, confused, odd, bizarre, experimental, interesting (in places), frustrating and with some absolute classic bangers. You can absolutely hear the egos fighting for control as the band spirals into the death throes. There are some tracks I really enjoyed on here - and starting with Back in the USSR is genius. Then I reckon you could get most of a decent album out of this if you just took the tunes that make a real impact. And most of the rest just isn't very good I'm afraid. As an album it's pretty shite. Take those 30 minutes worth of gold and add a couple of fillers and you've got an album worth listening to time and thime again (and I'll take the Siouxsie version of Dear Prudence as well fwiw).
Undeniably a classic album. To be completely honest, didn't love it. Feels not cohesive, apart from the well known songs, i didn't enjoy it so much i fear. Wouldn't re-listen to all of it for fun. Sorry guys.
The first Beatles album I ever really WANTED to like, and I didn't. Too long, too all over the place and a little juvenile for my tastes. I WILL revisit but maybe just the best stuff that are hand picked for me.
Overrated. I like the other ones more. I think I’m burnt out from all the British rock lol.
pretty classic, I'm not bothered by it as background music. I'll probably never reach for it but won't be upset if it's on. Don't pass me by makes me grumpy (I don't like the sounds)
Not the best Beatles album IMO, there are a few good cuts but it jumps around a bit and no real coherence as an album.
3/5 Best: While My Guitar Gently Weeps Worst: Good Night
I’m so tired was my favorite. Feel like lots of these songs could have been left on the cutting room floors. I’m sure I’ll enjoy one of these some day.
Aika monipuolista settiä eikä ihme kun levy kestääkin sen 1,5h. Kappaleet ihan ok, mutta ei beatles oikein mun suosikki ole. Revolution 9 oli aika nightmare fuel
The highlights are immense. But also, there are parts of it... Wtf. There is filler and it doesn't feel cohesive or coherent, more like a bunch of sketches
The Beatles Album of all time.
The White Album sits below Sgt Pepper and Rubber Soul for me. It's well put together, a bit too twee in places but that's them, and a few really good songs. While My Guitar Gently Weeps is always an incredible track but there's not enough here to get a 4/5, it's a 3.
Eerlijk is eerlijk. Dit album is veel interessanter dan de eerdere albums van deze heren die we mochten raten. Het is niet meer eentonig en het aantal langgerekte lettergrepen is genormaliseerd. Het is nu sterk gevarieerd, zodat er moeilijk een algemene lijn uit te halen is. Een dubbelalbum wel is echt teveel van het goede. De helft kan weg. Dat gebeurt vaker door bands helaas. Alleen in dit geval is de selectie makkelijker. Album 2 is meer enerverend. Het saaiere album 1 kan weg. Kies daar de twee beste nummers van en vervang daarmee de opvuller van 8,5 minuut (DOE NORMAAL) op album 2. En dan hadden deze mannen zelfs van mij 4 sterren gekregen.
There are some all time bangers on here. There's also a lot of just ok to not good songs. It's a 3.5 but that 8 and a half minute track of noise is making round down.
Some lovely songs in there, but some of the more 'avant-garde' stuff was a bit shit
3. It's a good album, I enjoyed listening to it for this challenge but honestly, I don't think I'll come back to it. Maybe I'll listen to a couple of the songs again but as a whole it's just not quite my cup of tea.
Not huge on Beatles was ok
I was looking forward to this - I love the Beatles. Or so I thought. I think I like some Beatles. In small bursts. This was a bit much.
I thought the first half of this album was phenomenal and had a bunch of solid tracks such as Dear Prudence, ob-la-di ob-la-da, and while my guitar gently weeps. I thought I was jumping into a damn near perfect album till I saw the length of this bad boy. The second half contains some of the worst I’ve heard from the Beatles, however their worst isn’t all that bad in general. Overall I feel like this album was almost too psychedelic at some points, which really lost me. Still a pretty solid album overall though
I had notes from the past day. I forgot to save them and then I couldn't recover them. Oh well, it was a solid album, way too long of an album though. The first disk of the record had the hits, while the second one had mainly deep trippy stuff that I really do not care for.
Pretty good
eh
over het algemeen niet slecht, maar klinkt erg oud
i had some hateful review with no rating when i hadnt even heard the album. weird. anyway, ive never been much for this style of album, i usually prefer something tight and clean. theres some great tunes (sexy sadie, helter skelter, while my guitar gently weeps) but im just gonna go back to those rather than this whole bloated mess.
Some of my favorite Beatles songs are on this album, but there’s also a good chunk of this album that I don’t like.
I feel like I'm obligated to give this a 5 for some reason but "Wild Honey Pie" dropped it to a 2 all by it's little lonesome. "While my guitar gently weeps" brought it back up to a 4. That song is gold. 'Happiness is a warm gun,' whoops, back down to 3. Long story short, this album has moments of greatness.
Ein Klassiker...ganz schwierig. Was zählt meine Meinung da schon gegen millionen Anderer. Einige Lieder kannte ich schon und mag sie auch sehr wie Blackbird. Ein paar habe ich neu kennengelernt. Den würde ich safe fünf Sterne geben. Dann gibt's viele Songs, die einfsch nichts in mir auslösen, die sagen mir irgendwie gar nichts. Und dann gibt's noch die Kategorie "über Essen singen". Solche Lieder direkt nach einem Love Song oder so...passt weniger. Allgemein glaube ich das Album ist etwas zu lang...da kann man nicht alles gut machen. Und dann doch diese banger dazwischen...bin unentschlossen
So many all-time, forever known songs. Huge album. Some songs I would deem throwaway due to being too jumpy and energetic in the Beatles fashion that I am not as partial to (beach boys sound). Those that hit do hit though.
Ok, so I thought this album started out as a 5. There were songs in the middle which made me think maybe this album is a 4. By the end, which overstayed it’s welcome, I was wanting to turn it off. By the time revolution 9 came on I was just over it. So even though my favorite beetles song is on this album, it’s a 3. T3B 1. While My Guitar Gently Weeps 2. I’m So Tired 3. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da
Viiiiel zu lang. Die zweite Hälfte kommt dann aber noch mal richtig in die Gänge. Frustrierend, dass die Beatles eigentlich alles schon gemacht haben - vielleicht nicht immer am allerbesten von allen, aber immer mit Klasse. Revolution 9 nimmt im Collagenformat bereits vorweg, was Pink Floyd ein gutes halbes Jahrzehnt später mit ihren Klangstücken zur Meisterschaft bringen werden und mit Good Night wird ein für die Band ungewöhnliches Stück (wovon zugegebenermaßen einige auf der Platte sind) an das Ende gestellt und somit ein veritabler Recency Effect ausgenutzt. Danke für die Meßlatte, Jungs!
Want to listen to beatles chronologically so I listened to please please me instead the rating will be for the debut not the white album
Not bad.
The Beatles are good Album a bit long at 1 hour and 33 minutes
Kind of couldn't be arsed listening to it properly. Heard plenty of the beatles.
I'm not sure how to feel about this album. The good is really good, but there's a chunk of weird and experimental stuff that doesn't always work. Not that I'm against pushing the envelope so to speak, I really like some music I would consider very weird and experimental. I just don't know if most of it worked or even sounded good. I don't think the Beatles are any better by Wild Honey Pie or Why Don't We Do It In The Road existing. Savoy Truffle is pretty good from a musical standpoint, I don't think I understand the lyrics, or maybe they're meant to be just plain odd. Revolution 9 feels like I'm undergoing an experiment and drifiting in and out of sleep while the words "number nine" are being played through speakers constantly to see how it affects my brain waves and my dreams. It definitely is different and I would consider it a good different, but also feels like it might give me nightmares. This album opened my eyes to some good Beatles songs I didn't know existed, but it also left me asking "why?" and "what the fuck am I listening to?" more than I would have hoped. I definitely will come back to listen to some of these songs again, but the album as a whole I will probably not. Favorite Tracks: Back In The U.S.S.R., Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Blackbird, Birthday, Helter Skelter
3.8 + I’ve rarely listened to this album without the skip button close at hand. Plumbing its depths once again, I can see why that’s the case. Realistically I’d cut about half the songs on here. But intermingled are some of my favorite Beatles tracks as well as some wildly zany ditties, which makes it a rewarding if confounding listen. At best I’d say it adds a very interesting curveball to a catalog that would otherwise feel too polished.
Still just not a huge Beatles guy. I can recognize the impact they had on rock but I can't fully get into any of their albums. Songs here and there that I like and enjoy but overall I don't find myself seeking out Beatles music.
This is a confusing album to rate. This album showcases The Beatles at their absolute best, serving more than a dozen undeniable all-time classics. The drawback is, that's not even half of the album. This thing has 30 songs spanning over 90 minutes, and mixed in among the aforementioned classics are some songs that are banal and forgettable, but also some songs that contend for the absolute worst in The Beatles' discography (see Wild Honey Pie, Sabor Truffle, and the perplexing 8-minute long Revolution 9). There's a universe where this album is half as long and contends for one of the all-time greats, but the severe bloat and lack of consistency within sadly knocks a couple points off of it.
Honestly this one should get a two because it has so many shitters on it but it has some of my favorite Beatles songs on it. Mix between revolver and hard days night
A mixed bag, and much too long.
Pretty good, not their best
Too folksy. Too bloated. If I never hear blackbird again it'll be too soon.
The least good of the really good Beatles albums and the one I would probably leave out of my personal list if I was ever inclined to make one. Some of their best songs among some really forgettable tunes, unfortunately. There's an amazing single album in here somewhere, but the thing just drags a bit too much as a double album.
I do like the Beatles.
goed maar waarom zo lang ?!
Ja lang ja goed. Zet het op de achtergrond op en het gaat weet je
Beatles are overrated
Thought I was going to like it more. Too long and weird towards the end. Love Blackbird
A bit hit and miss really. Prefer the Beatles when they do the music not when they do the weird shit.
An album I loved as a teenager so I was looking forward to listening to it. Some tracks were great but overall it wasn’t as great as I remembered. Also my tastes have changed and developed over time. I was going to give 4* but that would just be for the nostalgia so a fairer reflection of the music would be a high 3*
Gisteren al de knuppel in het hoenderhok gegooid door Arjan en Sander te vertellen dat de helft van deze plaat uit circus muziek bestaat en ik de aapjes door brandende hoepels zie springen als ik mijn ogen dichtdoe. De overige nummers zijn natuurlijk wel echt geweldig. 3,5 ster, maar afgerond naar beneden door die kermis-associatie, sorry mannen!
Lastig verhaal. Gevarieerd, zeer muzikaal, tijdloos, jeugdsentiment (obladi oblada zongen we tijdens de muziekles op school - met de docent op piano :)) en een aantal echt goede nummers, toch is het niet helemaal m’n smaak.
Setting the mold for extended double-and-beyond albums, this record goes for it. Bangers? Quasi-solo songs? Experiments, failed or otherwise? Yes, yes, and yes. It's a showcase of a band that has hit its peak and begin to come apart at the seams.
Urgh - the Beatles Although to be fair I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
A noted Beatles hater, I enjoyed quite a bit of this album. Love Dear Prudence. Liked Back in the USSR, Everybody's got something to give and Helter Skelter. My high school used to play Today is your birthday, over the intercom, then announce the names of everyone had a birthday that day. Ended that around junior year. Ob la di, oh la da may be most annoying song ever.... I enjoyed a good portion. 3
Good, but mostly the popular songs
A couple of good tracks, but for the most part I was a bit bored. Perhaps I just have to be in a Beatles mood. USSR is always good. Gently Weeps had some David Gilmour-esque guitar work which I liked. Happiness is a Warm Gun was also a standout.
Incoherent and all over the place, but it makes for a fun listen. The playfulness is felt through the songs, which are mostly individually strong. The runtime is long, but the wide palette of sounds prevents the album from being a drag to listen to. Favs: Dear Prudence, Martha My Dear, I Will, Helter Skelter, Revolution 9
Got some great songs on.... While my guitar gently weeps and blackbird. Helter skelter too.... But also a lot of shite
Las canciones más cañeras estaban muy bien. Del resto, muchas indiferentes y algunas insoportables.
Exceptional for its time and influential as they come, but not 100% my favourite album, not even my favourite Beatles album. Thanks!
The White Album was a trip to listen to with it being an 1 hour and 30 minutes long. This record is unbalanced and far from polished. I do love the experimentation throughout the album, even if sometimes it didn't sound great. The album had it's peaks and it's filler. You can always expect filler on a double album. Overall, I did enjoy the album even if it was very long and bloated at times. Favorite Tracks: Back in the U.S.S.R., Dear Prudence, Helter Skelter Least Favorite Tracks: Wild Honey Pie, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, Revolution 9
Released while the group was going through some rough times, and it shows. First time listening to the complete album is years, I forgot how many animal mentions there are (goofy Paul). Speaking of Paul, his choice to keep songs like Ob-la-di, Why Don't We Do It In The Road and I Will on an already bloated album. Also his order of tracks on side 1 and 2 and equally bizarre (I Will into Julia specifically). His contributions to this album are mostly goofy and do nothing for me, the one exception being Blackbird, a lovely song. This is really some of John's best work; Dear Prudence, Glass Onion, Happiness is a Warm Gun, and Yer Blues. His ability to help everyone else shine is never more clear. George and Eric Clapton on While My Guitar Gently Weeps is another stand out track, and my favorite Harrison Beatle song. Overall a disjointed and overloaded album, that includes some beautiful moments. The highs are high and the lows and low.
Even though ive heard many of the these songs hundreds? of times, I dont remember ever actually listening *the album*, in order. Here we go. Starts off rocking, with the Beatles doing their best impression of the Beach Boys. I dont think ive ever heard Glass Onion.... wow, drugs. OblaDa - fun and silly. classic. Wild Honey Pie. WHAT. THE. FUCK. While my Guitar Gently Weeps - I absolutely love this song. So far, it does not belong in the album at all....ever? hmm. Blackbird is lovely of course. It is strange to hear these great songs just mixed in with these other songs. Yer Blues was enjoyed by me. HelterSkelter - nice and heavy. I didnt know they did different versions of Revolution. Savoy Truffle. Sounds delicious. Number 9. Number 9. Number 9. I do like the ending on a soft lullaby, good night song. IMO and disappointingly, this album is not great and should not be included in this list of greatest albums. There are some serious tone/vibe management issues. And just because there are GREAT songs mixed in, there are also plenty of songs that are straight up bad.
A LOT of filler, and a few gems. Earlier Beatles albums are much stronger and more worthy of the praise this one gets. Also LOL at drugged out hippies killing people because of this album.
some extremely good songs mixed in with filler wacky songs. there's not a cohesive sound for the album. dear prudence is really good, if it was more songs like this id listen to the album again.
Some classic songs on the White Album, but I feel it is overly long with too many of the weird concept songs to listen all the way through on a regular basis.
white, massive influence on younger generations and wayyy too long. remind you of anything???😘 i don’t mind a long album, but this didn’t need to be so long, got fairly repetitive and a few album fillers. lots of strong songs i liked revolution 9, good to see musically good, shame they’re scouse downloaded the first half best beatles album 6.8/10
Chock full of classics with some weird ones in there. Back in the USSR, While my guitar and helter skelter are orgasmic. Obviously massively influential but too long and too many shitters. Bungalow Bill carried. 3.9/5
Mixed bag of classic and totally forgettable. Highlights: While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Blackbird, Rocky Raccoon.
i fucking hate this album. except for the songs i like. this is tough because i do really like the beatles but this is where it starts to go downhill for me.
This is not the classic I expected. Random throwaways paired with well-recognized tunes extended for a very long time.
Probably my least listened to Fabs L.P. An extraordinary record by any standard, there is a problem with Beatles fatigue and parts of it (Revolution 9) are unlistenable.
Good
It undeniably has some beautiful songs on it, but it also has some jangly irritating tracks. The 90 minute runtime just isn't justified, this could be cut down to an excellent 40 minute album just by taking out the actually good songs
Some of the greatest songs ever written but this album has too much “stuff” on it. I think it’s a little overrated and needed to be trimmed down. Still love it.
A very patchy album with the second disk marginally better than the first. Some great tracks and some absolute dross. A strong argument against double albums in principle.
swansongs
1968. Back In The U.S.S.R, Blackbird, While My Guitar Gently Weeps
I like The Beatles... but I think this album is a little too long. The singles are good though and I appreciate how many different things they tried. Favorite: Blackbird
רגיל מדי, אבל קלאסיקה
My favourite Beatles album is "The Best of the Beatles" (from the ages of 7-11 it actually was because it was the only one we had on tape). I was excited for "The White Album," and the crescendo of "Back in the USSR" followed by the melancholy crush of "Dear Prudence" (my favourite Beatles song) is a hell of a way to open an album and set its tone. But there are some duff tracks here too: "Ob-La-Di" and "Piggies" have dated awfully, and I'm sad to say I found the whole thing more irritating than enjoyable.
Funnily enough, this was the first Beatles record I listened to end-to-end. Doing so again now, it clearly has some amazing tracks like Dear Prudence, Back in the USSR, Revolution 1. But it can also feel pretty indulgent and off the rails despite the amazing production.
Loses a star for being far too long and loses a star for the absolutely horrific ob-la-di, ob-la-da. It was clearly ahead of its time but if I never listen to it again I won't be disappointed.
Eh
Too long!
Es un ejercicio artistico, amparrados por la fama conseguida se dispusieron a ver que se puede hacer probar y experimentar, es o explica la cantidad de temas que incluye y la variedad de estilos. No es un disco solido conceptualmente, tiene un par de puntos altos eso si pero parece mas ser resumen un popurri, muy eclectico.
Signs of the real Beatles in amongst some strange childish noise, not great.
Tried multiple times to like this but don't think the album hangs together
An absolute masterpiece, only a fool would argue otherwise
I like this album more than I used to, I've always been more of a Revolver fan. I still think it's a bit sprawling, but I guess that's the idea, and there are some moments of utter genius in there too
This was a chore for me to get through, to be honest, There are definitely a few good songs to enjoy, but way too many silly or boring ones. For me, Blackbird is by far the best song.
ну я ваще не против битлов всяких, но и не фанат дикий ака битломан. Альбомчик ничо так, есть классные мотивы. Больше слушать наверно не буду
Saved Prior: Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da, Blackbird, Birthday Off Rip: Back in the USSR, Dear Prudence, The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Martha My Dear, Rocky Raccoon, Helter Skelter Cutting Edge: I'm So Tired, Piggies Overall Notes: There is a 5 star album in here. There's just soooooo much that doesn't need to be here, particularly in the second half of the album, that the album suffers as a whole. To be fair, if any band had ever earned the right to make this album it's the Beatles, and I'm glad that people really like this. But this feels so much more like a collection of outtakes than a cohesive album. That's not a comment on the quality of the songs, as some of these songs are some of my favorite Beatles songs (notably Martha My Dear), but rather that there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to this album. 3.5 that I'm going to round down because good lord is the second disc tedious to get through.
Trzecie objawienie sie beatlesowe na liscie, tym razem z chyba najbardziej popularnym materialem, bo plyta the beatles, czy jak proponuje lista the white album, z oczywistych okladkowych wzgledow, jest najlepiej sprzedanym krazkiem bandy, ktory w statusie platynowo diamentowym wybija sie nawet ponad abbey road, jest to takze jedyna podwojne wydanie bandy, wiec na albumie mamy do przesluchania 30 kawalkow, ktore prezentuja mozliwosci stylowe beatlesow, w troche odmiennej wersji niz na pepperze czy revolverze, bo nie ma tutaj zmian granej muzyki w przeciagu jednego traku, tylko cale piosenki sa utrzymane jednym zdefiniowanym gatunku i tak dostajemy muzyke od klasycznego rokowania na modle hamerykanska, folkowanie, ballady, satyry na klasyki, bluesowanie, czy nawet wyspiarskie ska, no i mozna tez pokusic sie o awangardowe granie, ale tak fangeje zukowatych nazywaja wiekszosc tej plyty, a moze i nawet wiekszosc ich dyskografii, ale cos w tym jest bo jednak wyznaczyli tredy ktorymi sie kierowala muzyka popularna w latach pozniejszych, nie ma tez co sie rozwodzic nad grupowaniem poszczegolnych trakow na gatunki, bo jest ich zbyt duzo, plyta jest takim natlokiem muzycznym z ktorego ciezko wylowic cos co naprawde blyszczy, nie jest to konceptowy album, wiec kawalki nie sa ze soba zbyt powiazane co jeszcze bardziej wprowadza popowy armagedon, bo w tamtym okresie wszyscy co wychodzilo od beatlesow musialo byc hitem i czyms sluchalnym, bo zespol mial prawdziwy kult wokol siebie, nie chodzi mi tu o mansonowe interpretacje plyty, ktore mialy kierowac jego rozwojem organizacji, co poza utrzymaniem stylow w ryzach jest nowoscia na plycie, z pewnoscia powrot do bardziej klasycznego wyboru instrumentow, co najbardziej zmienia brzmienie tego albumu, nie ma tu juz egzotyki, a raczej klasyka zachodniej muzyki, wiec gitarki, zwlaszcza akustyki, chociaz i clapton sie pojawia, wiec elektryki tez maja swoje miejsce, drumersy, a nie jakies bongosy, no i tamburino jak przystalo na cyganskich wyspiarzy, nowoscia jest takze lenonowa oblubienica, ktora mogla byc punktem zapalnym konfliktu miedzy bandowego, ktory doprowadzil do rozpadu zespolu w przeciagu roku, bo jak to babe do studia spraszac na schadzki i jeszcze dawac jej udzial na plytach, a skoro duet lenonowo kartnejowy jest odpowiedzialny za kontent liryczny, to jako zakochany czlek lenon mial parcie na najbardziej popowy motyw, czyli songi milosne, wiec songi o samym sobie i joko onie sie pojawia, najlepszym przykladem tego jest monkowy song, no i jeszcze byl ten trip beatlesowy do jakiegos namaste ktory mial ich oswiecic i tak ich oswiecil, ze wypluli z siebie podwojny album i zaczeli ostrzyc na siebie noze, godzina i pol sluchania, wiec trzeba cos wylowic, znowu sie potwierdza regula, ze im dluzszy material z srednia zawartoscia, najbardziej przypadnie do gustu ta czesc, ktora byla sluchana na poczatku, wiec pierwszej strony pierwszej plyty lenonowy folk songer, ktory podchodzi pod balladowa opowiesc czyli the continuing story of bungalow bill, zaraz po nim jest grany gitarowy song pana harrisona, ktory gra tutaj pierwsze skrzypce, a moze raczej gitarki, choc to i tak nie do konca bo jednak leaduje clapton, ale jednak song pisany i spiewany przez harrisona, harde granie i jego powrot na gitarke, bo na poprzednich materialach robil na sitarkowca bardziej niz za gitarzyste, wiec do kompletu musze dodac savory truffle o podobnej genezie powstania, wiec czwartym ostatnim kawalkiem bedzie blackbird od mccartneya, czyli folkowy song oparty na samym akustyku w akompaniamencie klapersowym, o ile zrodla wikiowej dotyczace poprzednich plyt byly obszerne, to bialy album ma tak fanatycznych pisarzy, ze kazdy song ma swoja rozprawe, teraz zostaje pytanie ile beatlesowych wydan zostalo do konca listy, chociaz odpowiedz jest oczywista, reszta
Eh
Awesome I got this on a Friday. I enjoyed the album
El disco 2 no me vuelve loca la verdad, mi muy favorita while my guitar gently weeps
Solid album, however did not like the "artistic" tracks.
Pretty good album, but it was way too long.

This is absolutely an album everyone has to hear, but it isn't the Beatles at their best. The backstory and drama of the album are better than the album itself. It really should have been an album and then an outtakes album. The album has many good songs that were either ahead of their time or stood the test of time. Hey Jude came out of these sessions, but Rocky raccoon, back in the user, ob la di ob la da, helter skelter, bungalow bill, and while my guitar gently weeps are fantastic. Listening to the album, I hear songs that I forgot existed - Long long long, cry baby cry, and don't pass me by come to mind. Not a perfect album, but their most creative and still above average. I'm glad we have it. 3.5 stars
Some of my fave Beatles songs on this album, some ok, but it's too long, long, long.
Some really good songs but a really unfocused album. If it had half the songs it would have been twice as good
Some killer, lots of filler. There’s a handful of very good tracks on this and a couple of classics but it’s bloated too
fine. fun. not what id listen to normally.
30 songs. Long. Good.
.
Ok, blackbird e skön
Never been the biggest fan of the Beatles, was hoping listening to an album of theirs in full may help to change that. It didn’t. 3/5
"I told you about the walrus and me, man You know we're as close as can be, man Well here's another clue for you all The walrus was Paul." (Glass Onion) "The children asked him if to kill was not a sin Not when he looked so fierce, his mother butted in If looks could kill it would have been us instead of him All the children sing" (Bungalow Bill) Me pasa una cosa con los Beatles que es que no me disgustan, pero escuchar una hora y media de ellos me da TANTÍSIMA PEREZA. Este disco tiene "Blackbird", que es la canción suya que más me gusta, así que al menos eso bien.
Excellent first 10 or so tracks but the rest of the album left me a little underwhelmed. Bit of bias coming into it I guess as this is often mentioned as one of the best albums of all time. But again, hard to score when it's clearly an album of it's time and was revolutionary.
So we've had Abbey Road, Revolver and White Album. This one I am the most conflicted on - I love while my guitar gently weeps and blackbird then there is a LOT of crap I really dont like. Honeyyyy PIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HONEY PIEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
A bit lukewarm on this. The minor, downtempo tracks are the strongest whilst the rest feel overdone. 6/10, I preferred Sgt. Pepper's.
Qué dificil. Está bien chido pero no sé cómo calificarlo. Seguramente los maestros del análisis musical me dirían que es una obra maestra por detalles técnicos y de composición que yo ni logro comprender o detectar. Me gustan mucho varias rolas del disco y muchas otras están bien. En una de esas me gusta más el disco de billy brag con wilco y le puse nomás dos estrellas. Si todo fuera como en mi marco de referencia este disco merecería tres estrellas. Y me apegaré a ello.
the shorter more rock songs were acc cool. first side was better. so many unnecessary songs?
Erg goed album maar kan nooit helemaal in beatles komen, Helter Skelter is wel een enorm goede song
Easily better than the other Beatles we had
Not my favorite Beatles album
NON ME NE FREGA CHE SONO I BEATLES. PIÙ CHE UN ALBUM È UNA RACCOLTA DI TROPPE CANZONI, DI CUI POCHE MI SONO PIACIUTE. “LONG LONG LONG” LA MIA PREFERITA. “REVOLUTION 9” LA PIÙ MEMORABILE E ATROCE. 3/5
Generally, I didn't like Beatles, but I do not hate this album. Especifically, I love the song 'Blackbird'.
still dont like the beatles sry
Edit this down to a single album and I think you've got something. There's too much nonsense to sift through here.
Not my style. A little too old feeling and not stimulating enough
A small handful of great memorable tracks and a shed load of dross. What were they thinking? Still on mind numbing meditation, a lot of this stuff should have stayed in their heads!
Not really my sort of thing but it was cool to find out that Helter Skelter Mötley Crüe was a cover of the song on this album. Definitely bit too long for the album though especially when the sound is very similar for all the songs
A few great songs and the rest are just fine.
I honestly can't believe that this is considered one of the best albums of all time. Surely no one is listening to Bungalow Bill or Piggies and thinking what a classic it is? Sure, there are some decent songs buried in here, but you have to search for the gold nuggets in a river of shit. I don't think it's a 1 because of the occasional goodun, but what a slog. A 2 feels generous. Bloody hell
Lame
I don't like the Beatles. This did not help my case. I get why Blackbird is the most famous
day 1 — The White Album — The Beatles (1968) genre: rock? 😭 some pop and folky sounding songs too runtime: 93 min rating: 2.5/5 not for me personally but wasn’t a total waste of time fav track: while my guitar gently weeps thoughts: some of these songs do not gotta be here lmfao this is a double album and the first disc was promising but by the second disc i was soo over it man it does have some gems tho overall it ain’t awful i just think it’s one of the weaker albums from this band maybe im being too critical ill give it another listen someday oh shit and blackbird is in this album loll i couldn’t stop thinking abt boss baby
Never been a Beatles fan. This album is a big reason why. 3-4 good songs, lots of garbage and nothing unique. I get that they were innovative, but there were much more creative and innovative music from the same time period.
Too long. Self indulgent. Meh.
Overrated.
Helter Skelter was fun, and Revolution 9 was interesting, but the rest of the album was really boring. It's exactly what I thought Beatles would be. Eh. 2/5 stars.
It’s not my favourite genre, but I appreciate some songs where the guitar is given a lot of time to solo and express its emotions through the notes.
A Beatles fan listening to the White Album beginning to end gives the same energy as a Christian becoming an atheist by reading the Bible front-to-back. A few good tracks but it's mostly white noise or absolute dog water.
I think it says something that I’d only ever heard two songs off this album….
This alone should take The Beatles out of the greatest band discussion. I think the worst part of the age of digital music is we can’t play Revolution 9 backwards on Spotify
Not a big fan of this album. 1. Its long. 2. it has no structure 3. looks like a compilation with no clear message. A couple of nice songs diluted in the bulk. 2.5
Not really my cup of tea,🤷
Too long, too many silly songs.
i just don’t gaf about the beatles
Sorry maar dit album was me echt te saai Ik vind de beatles echt een vibe soms maar dit was m niet 3/10
So I've never really had many Beatles songs click with me, and this whole album was no exception. I get how they're incredibly influential, and there's ideas here that are great, but none of it is executed in a way that's either too memorable or enjoyable to listen to. Most of the time it's background noise, and other times it's just a slog to get through. Revolution 9 was particularly bad. I get wanting to experiment but what the actual hell was that?? Anyways, just because they were the first to introduce these sounds doesn't mean they were the best to do it. Standouts include Dear Prudence, Yer Blues, Good Night. 2/5
3/27 Overrated album from an extremely overrated band
The album has brilliant moments but also a lot of "filler". I feel the problem was the experimentation and the freedom for everyone to do what they want; that's what made me have unique songs and crap.
Aburrido
Hate Beatles
2.5. Lots going on here. context would be helpful. Beatles are weird
This is probably one of my least favorite Beatles albums. Also way too long to be honest. Maybe 3 songs I enjoy in this album.
the beetles are alr
Classics and crap
4/10
I only like a few songs off this album 🙈 still a classic but not my fav
I expected something better.
1 great album's worth of content spread far too thinly.
ive spent my whole life trying to make myself believe I like onions. and I can sometimes in small amounts, but anything centered around onions just isn't for me. the beatles are the same way. if you like the beatles, im happy you have this album but me personally? I'd rather listen to trout mask replica than this
Let’s get the good stuff out of the way first: it has “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” and, to a lesser extent, “Blackbird” on it. Otherwise, this is far too long. Some would say it’s “eclectic” - I would say it gave me a good dose of whiplash. It ranges from quite mad (“Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill”) to downright awful (“Helter Skelter”), and just a bit uncomfortable (“Revolution 9).
ahhh... mislio sam, konačno, ovaj će mi se svidjeti. ovaj je dobar. i na dijelove stvarno jest. prva stvar jako dobra, ob-la-di-ob-la-da najbolja... no ubrzo se sve usere. prva ploča nije dosljedna - varira od podnošljivog do rijetkog jako dobrog - ali je zato druga dosljednija - dosljedno je umnnogome lošija. posebno je užasna stvar, osim naravno "revolution 9" (zbog koje je lenon zaslužio metak koji je dobio), "yer blues". jednostavno ne podnosim glas tog šupka. i sad kad gledam popis pjesama, načelno su mi slabe sve pjesme koje on pjeva, a toga nisam ni bio svjestan dok sam slušao. nije ni mekkartni uvijek puno bolji - "why don't we do it in the road" dosta je sramotna. sve u svemu jedna velika šteta. prva ploča bez nekih pjesama i s pridodanom jednom-dvije s druge ploče (npr. "honey pie") činila bi jako dobar album. ali ovako ostavlja gorak okus u ustima i ne želim ga ponovo slušati, barem ne cijelog. teška srca dajem dvojku. nije zaslužilo trojku, ali zacijelo nije ni jedinicu. jebiga. trebali su obuzdat lenona i dat više prostora najboljem članu (harisonu)
Nu I cine știe ce
Like a few Beetles albums has way to many songs, 20 tracks is just too much unless you have a dozen or so bangers and unfortunately this has 5 good tunes (2 of them are all time Beetles greats - While my guitar gently weeps and blackbird) but the other 15 tracks are fine or in too many instances total bollocks. Maybe it’s a post war, memories of rationing, bang for your buck thing but as an album it is totally devalued by the sheer weight of its filler 2
Definitivno ima znatno boljih albuma Beatlesa, ali neka ih tu. 2/5, 4/10
Is it a comedy album?
oke
I don’t usually listen to The Beatles. I’ve heard their bigger songs before and they were never really my vibe, but I gave the White Album ( 1968) a full listen anyway. Honestly, it just didn’t click for me. The album felt very experimental but also kind of messy, and no track really stood out or stuck with me after it ended. Maybe this just wasn’t the right album for me, and after researching i can see how this album is supposed to be a contrast from previous works, but I still don’t really get the hype around the band.
1 song already in my favorites. Would listen again if forced to.
For an album on every beat lost I had to skip a few tracks
this album is so long and so from the 60s. it was a hard one
I know that this album seems not that exciting, even a little boring to me since I grew up listening to so many artists who were heavily influenced by the beatles sound and techniques.
Not my thing but ok
It was mid I only liked like 2-3 songs on it
really getting the itch to jerk off in a group and say the n word
Welcome back to another episode of "1001 most overrated albums of all time", today we have the Beatles' white album. I never really got the hype surrounding this group, they're basically the prototype of the typical sellout mainstream band. Everything they did worked due to overmarketization, so much so that people bought their stuff just because they're the Beatles. I'm still of the opinion that it was a good thing that they split up and John Lennon got shot. Now that the venting part is over, let's talk about the music displayed here. It obv. doesn't have a bad quality, but there's day and night between the actual good songs like Blackbird or Helter Skelter among the majority of filler songs. Overall underwhelming and mediocre for the most part in terms of style, creativity and theme, but certain songs stand out really strongly. I wish The Beatles would've been an actual rock band and followed the style of Helter Skelter, but what we got instead was 3 cool musicians + 1 retarded hippie asshole.
mehh
wegen Revolution No9 gekauft
a bit too whiny
2.4
4.5/10 They are great if you have the emotional complexity of a weevil.
3 good songs
Brave
tw: jag är en beatles hater. så är det och förblir det efter att ha lyssnat på det här alldeles för långa albumet. så här känner jag: bara för att man kan skriva en låt betyder det inte att man behöver göra det?? och som den där memen: någon sätter på beatles och det är 8/10 gånger the worst song you ever heard. men 2/10 gånger är det typ mästerverk?? vilket göder mitt hat mot dem. team george i alla fall.
I do not particularly enjoy the Beatles (I used to really hate them despite liking Abbey Road) but this album was fine. I don't enjoy hearing John Lennon say "sexy" but other than that it was a rather neutral listening experience. while I may never understand the hype surrounding the Beatles, I suppose I can thank them for inspiring countless generations of musicians that I love.
- pikkase häirihtee kun tuo beatles teksti albumitaiteessa on snadisti vinossa - damn nää kaverit on ollu tuotteliaita, tässä levyllä on joku 100 biisiä ja nää julkas levyt myös vuos ennen ja vuos tän levyn jälkeen - mun ongelma monien beatles biisien kanssa on se että nää kuulostaa ihan laskenlauluilta, mikä tää obladi biisiki on wtf - parhaita biisejä dear prudence, while my guitar gently weeps, blackbird - on myös aika sekava kokoelma biisejä - yks biisi siitä että nussittais vaan tiempäällä, hell ye - oli varmaan uraauurtava aikoinaan mutta nykyään melko yhdentekevä
I don't like the Beatles. I know they're good, I know they're influential, I know it's supposed to be great music. But I don't like them. This album has not changed my mind.
the white album, more like the shite album
Ehhh like 4 good hits and the rest just blend into each other. I don’t see how this is a mind blowing album. It’s also super long, I don’t care for the majority of these songs
It's so long. That's too much Beatles. A couple of songs really surprised me by being actually good, but the rest of it was just... well, Beatles. They're not very good, you're just old.
Jag har blandade känslor kring detta album. Alla låtar separat håller god kvalitet, vissa bättre än andra. Tyvärr är hela albumet en ofärutsägbar mishmash av låtar, det känns som att jag har satt någons Beatles-spellista på shuffle. I samma anda är albumet på tok för långt. Jag hinner bli trött i huvudet innan jag ens lyssnat på hälften. Två besvikna stjärnor, för rent musikaliskt är låtarna så catchiga.
2.5
I absolutely love some of the songs and hated other ones. Such a frustrating album. For that reason I give it a two.
Too drug addled.
Bloated. 2/5
When I tell you number 9 is one of the worst songs I have heard not just in the album listening so far but in my life. I saw it on the list, thought of the Simpsons episode and laughed thinking it might be similar. It came on and I thought ‘wow this is super similar’ then I saw it had 7 more fucking minutes to go. It made me want to dig John Lennon up, shoot him again, log back in to my Letterboxd and rate Yesterday a 1. God help the next person I see wearing round rim glasses. Specific rating 2.0 (-2 for Number 9) Fav song- obla di obla da Least fav - number 9
I don't like the Beatles.
Disappointing. I expected to love this record but a lot of it sounds like filler. Part of the problem is the ubiquity of the Beatles, i must have heard every song on here hundreds of times without trying, but part of it is that some of the songs are really not good.
It’s fine, if a little long. Probably not something I would revisit, a little too poppy for my tastes… I’ll be generous and say 2+ stars.
So, this would be a better album with about 1/3 to 1/2 the songs. There are like 3-4 maybe 5 songs on that I like enough to maybe come back and listen to again purposefully -- although I know I won't because I don't really dig the Beatles.....
2,5
If you randomly sampled songs from this album you would find that 1/2 of these songs rock, 1/4 of them completely suck, and 1/4 of them will be really strange in a neither positive nor negative way. That is to say, this album is good but contains too many loose ideas and is far too long. 2/5
I can't. Not in the mood for this. I'm sure it was great at the time, but today it just feels very indulgent and the old-style mix is nails on a chalkboard for me.
Cut it down to a single LP and you've got a banger on your hands.
Na ja. Muss wohl was dran sein.
some classic some weird shit
Don’t understand the hype. There are far better Beatles albums.
Would have been 3 but minus 1 star for the existence of Ob La Di, Ob La Da.
Typical be a few familiar songs, but for the most part, not very interesting to listen to pretty overplayed at this point
As a lifelong Beatles hater, I liked this a smidge more than I expected. I think I got to the root of why I’m not a big fan. It’s because this is the unpolished grassroots of pop music. Influential, yes, but in being unpolished, it lacks the fine tuning we know pop to have now. Beatles music has the foundation of pop without the polish or substance. Can be catchy at times, but way too repetitive to the point you get sick of the song so easily. Why Don’t we do it in the Road is one example. Dear Prudence and maybe even Glass Onion are good examples. Alternatively, stuff like Julia is just plain great, and if they had more songs like Julia, I’d be more inclined to understand why theyre viewed as the kings of pop bands.
It's like 3 good songs, 3 terrible, and a huge bunch of fillers. You won't convince me that the rating isn't for the name
Some good songs but overall album needed editing. Too long and too much carnival music
Great album!
I see some brown in there too.
way too long, has next to nothing going for it. bleh. beatles album rankings so far: 1. with the beatles 2. rubber soul 3. white album
Not my style, a bit too boring and overrated 3/10
This album is a wild collection of great songs, complete filler, absolute disasters, and songs that are straight-up annoying. I get the cultural significance of The White Album and how it was arguably the greatest band ever truly having some space to explore a ton of different influences, genres, and styles of music. What it ends up being to me is a fractured mess of an album that sounds more like a collection of B-sides that wouldn't make it onto a regular album and then found and released decades after a band breaks up just because there are recordings and a feeling that they need to be released. This one is tough to give a number to - because it's the Beatles and The White Album you feel like you HAVE to give it a high score. As an album, it simply doesn't deserve it though. I feel bad for the amazing songs on here that are on this album instead of another one.
I feel like the Beatles is kind of like religion, if you didn't grow up on it, it just seems weird and a little culty.
Pretty boring overall, and as an album it was disjointed and carries a lot of skippable tracks.
I generally like The Beatles, but most of this album was a bit off track, (excuse the pun), for me.
it just isn't for me. I can appreciate the skill that goes into this album, but I don't enjoy the Beatles sound signature.
The best thing about this album is that nearly all the songs are short, on the down side there are too many of them. Very wanky
If The Beatles had just stuck with the Psychedelic Rock of Dear Prudence and While My Guitar Gently Weeps this would be a great album. Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da does not belong on any record. Neither does: Wild Honey Pie, Honey Pie, Bungalow Bill, Rocky Racoon or Savoy Truffle. Piggies is the worst one of all with lyrics so bad I can’t be bothered to type them up - awful awful novelty music. I cannot understand how these songs have ended up on the same album as Blackbird and Julia (a touching tribute to the death of Lennons mum). Naturally the song after Julia is a terrible blues standard song about having a Birthday Party. Why Don’t We Do it in the Road sounds like Muddy Waters Meets Butlins. There are a couple of experiment tracks: Helter Skelter and Revolution 9. But in amongst everything else these are just lost. I have no idea how hundreds of millions of people have been tricked into thinking this is the greatest band of all time.
There are only a few good songs on there and the rest is mid as fuck
NUMBER 9 NUMBER 9 NUMBER 9 NUMBER 9 NUMBER 9 NUMBER 9 NUMBER 9 NUMBER 9 NUMBER 9 NUMBER 9 NUMBER 9 NUMBER 9
Never been a big fan. They had some good hits but I never understood the hype. Onto the next.
Maybe one good song in a 2 volume album, insane this was as popular as it was.
Meh. I could do with never listening to it again
This album pissed me off. There's some absolute classics on here. While my Guitar Gently Weeps and Blackbird stand out in particular. Back in the USSR and Happiness is a Warm Gun are both good too. However, for every great song there's a couple of average ones and for every average song, there's one that's absolute dogshit. Wild Honey Pie and Bungalow Bill are particularly egregious. Every time and artist thinks about making a double album, they should be forced to listen to this and cut out all the chaff.
This could have an amazing 30 minute album, but they decided to chuck in 60 minutes of guff to pad it out for some reason. Dear Prudence, Helter Skelter, Blackbird, all great, but a lot of the other tracks really were unenjoyable and rarely in a way that was interesting. What was the point of Revolution 9 for example?
Well. I expected a lot, being a classic and all that, but the only thing it has a lot of is running time. If they ditched all the novelty songs they’d have something approaching a decent album. The only song I can say I really liked was Blackbird. Dear Prudence was done properly by Souixsie. Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da was done better by Marmalade, but it’s still not great. While My Guitar Gently Weeps was done MUCH better by the Tom Petty/Prince supergroup. And TIL the Beatles song that’s referenced in Firefly! But yeah, Agent K should have saved his money.
Só tem uma música boa
There are a few super-solid tracks on this album, but being a double LP, it suffers from serious bloating. The vast majority of the songs are like listening to someone singing a recount of their acid trip to the tune of the Scooby Doo theme song. 2 stars. Just because something is historically significant doesn't mean that it's good.
Not a big Beatles guy
YAWN
This album has a lot of variety. It seems kind of disjointed, like it was all thrown together. But it still feels artistic with interesting songs. Overall, I'm not very impressed with this album.
lame af
2+ Stars (6/15) God I hate double albums!!! If this was cut down to the best 10 songs then it'd be pretty good.
The are some great songs in this album. Then again, there are some quite bad as well. 5/10
Doesn’t have the same energy and catchy sounds of other Beatles albums. Disjointed and boring with a couple of good songs.
I’ve always kind of ignored/didn’t care about the Beatles but they’re not bad Jk they’re pretty meh, boring Fun opening song and it’s all downhill from there
Jag har inte riktigt tänkt på det förut men jag är nog inget fan av Beatles. Kul att den här tjänsten hjälpte mig att upptäcka det.
Overrated, there’s a few good songs but cmon. Really nothing special
2 stars for their impact on humanity or whatever. Sorry I dislike the beatles
Jag står fast vid att Beatles är väldigt överskattade i dagens mått
5ieme album des Beatles généré. Quelques bons morceaux connus : "Back in the U.S.S.R." "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" "Helter Skelter" Et beaucoup de remplissage. =>2/5
I’m trying to be softer, so I’ll simply use this space to state that this is my favorite person’s favorite Beatles album.
To no one's surprise, Manson's taste in music was shit. 2/5
I’m afraid that in the most part I just really don’t get the Beatles and I can only assume that you needed to be there. There are some good songs on here - USSR, Glass Onions, Guitar Gently Weeps, Helter Skelter. But it’s the filler that irks me. I mean, Why don’t we do it in the road? No thanks, and at my age the thought of seeing anyone else doing it in the road would just be ikky and a bit embarrassing. Basically so much of this is just tosh, which perhaps they had enough capital at the time to get away with.
Not a very good album, I don't know who these beatles are but they have a lot to learn! The one redeeming song was Number 9, fun little piece!
Terrible mess. Good to hear music by other members, but then you have something like Revolution 9.
Has interesting sounds, but overall boring
Who'd have thought listening to a Beatles album would be a chore. Living in fear of Ob la de ob la da bungalow bill and rocky raccoon. At least maxwells silver hammer isn't on this one.
There's Beatles I like - with Revolver and Abbey at the top. Then there's Beatles I don't like - the early stuff and this. The white album shows a band talented enough they could piss about in the studio and throw out folky melodies and experimental noise and it'd all be great. And I don't like it. It's just too rambling, too campfire singing, too haphazard.
Glass Onion Happiness Is A Warm Gun Blackbird Rocky Raccoon There are better albums then this one. Not particularly a fan of this one but it is still not bad. I call her average at best.
Really brings out the certified hater in me. I like a lot of the quirky production in this that I used to be quite cold on and I do like a few of the songs but sitting through this whole this is not my idea of a fun time. I do like that it’s consistently weird but the only weird that I can really tune into at all is the noisier stuff at the end of Side 2.
Never understood what the fuss was about this 60s boy band. Most of the hits are just silly love songs.
Average
Confirmed that I don’t enjoy the Beatles except maybe their first albums where the music was simpler. Listened to it twice and couldn’t get into it properly. A nice few songs though, blackbird specifically.
Just a wee bit boring
So overrated I'm sorry. Said it before say it again. And why is the album so long?
Disc 2 turned this weak 4 into a strong 2. Disc 2 is mostly garbage. Disc 1 has some good songs but I think USSR and Obla Di are very overrated. However While my Guitar Gently Weeps and Blackbird are heat. Shame they made a double.
Bin kein Beatles-Fan
I respect, understand, and see the greatness and influence the Beatles had on music. I will say that out of all the Beatles albums I've heard on this list so far, this was the one I enjoyed more than the others, but I just wish they really clicked with me more
Extremely forgettable/average, disc 2 clears disc 1
Siento honesto, escuché la mitad pero ya no lo termine, creo que es un álbum largo y no sabe mantener la atención del oyente así que en cierto punto lo sentí algo monótono. Si hubo canciones que disfrute pero tampoco es que me hayan encantado, ese tipo música que escuchas de fondo mientras haces cualquier otra cosa. Simplemente no mi estiló.
I do not like the beatles. The grungy songs are better than the soft ones. A few songs I went "hey this is pretty good" but most of time time it was "jeez this is terrible". Top songs: happiness is a warm gun (Arctic monkeys??), Martha my dear, I'm so tired
The Beatles apparently opted to go with quantity over quality for this album.
Tava pronta pra também não gostar mas esse aqui já achei bem melhor. Mas sinceramente 30 músicas de Beatles, nem, n tenho paciência pra isso Fave: while my guitar gently weeps, Rocky Raccoon
I just really fucking hate the Beatles man
A long album that I listened to in parts between a day of meetings and other stuff I'd rather be listening to. Some of my favorite Beatles songs, some terrible Beatles songs, some inconceivable Beatles songs. Eclectic is maybe the word for it, but it really felt like four Beatles in a trenchcoat trying to sneak into a party for "bands only" .... just break up, buddies.
I know it’s sacrilege and everything I like stands on the fossilized bones of The Beatles, but I just really can’t stand these guys. And even the remaster sounds like it was mixed to evoke the record being played on Walkman headphones with the volume all the way up but lying on the counter of a bathroom instead of on your ears. The lyrics of Glass Onion seem to indicate that the Beatles were openly contemptuous of their stardom and fans, and then Wild Pie Honey, Piggies, and Happiness Is A Warm Gun removes all doubt. A reluctant extra star for Rocky Raccoon, I’m So Tired, and Helter Skelter
Så hurtigt så att man får huvudvärk. Vissa låtar är ändå OK. While My Guitar Gently Weeps till exempel.
If you are listenning in the car, the first song makes you think something is wrong with it. And the others just sound a bit to meh to me
Aside from like 2 good songs, honestly not a great album.
