1001 Albums Summary

Really high highs. The opening track The Dolphins and the final track, Cynicrustpetefredjohn Raga are really good, it feels like a lot of filler in the middle to be honest. There is a good mix of timbre throughout though, which kept me engaged. The tracks are better when they're a bit more experimental, but only because they are lightly and cleverly experimental, which leaves the 'filler' tracks feeling a bit bland really. Lyrically it's great.

This is actually right on the edge of 4 stars for me, it is the weakest great Beatles album. Some of the tracks are so good though that it saves it. Norwegian Wood, Nowhere Man and If I Needed Someone are incredible.
