Negative Positive
Title: Often Dumped on, because not a "real" album...
Review: I think this album gets a bad reputation because it is more a collection of songs than an album....though they somehow fit into a more druggy, post-SGT Pepper theme. Even though recorded right around, and in some cases, during, the SGT Pepper sessions, none of these songs would fit with that album.So why 5 stars? The songs are great. The only one that I've grown tired of is All You need is Love. That being said, I'm glad that this was pretty much the end of the Beatles' psychadelic phase. Its clear that they had exhausted that aspect of their music, and it was time to move on to different things (White Album, Abbey Road, etc).......yes, better things. Still enjoyable, still 5 stars, but The Beatles just kept changing and rewriting the history of music. Oh, and listen to this album in MONO. The mix is far superior.
Is the review positive or negative?
