Negative Positive
Title: given the terrible circumstances...
Review: The Beatles were on their last legs during the recording of this. Tensions were very high, and it reflects in the music. The music is undeveloped, and most of these songs were probably in its conception stages, but they're good songs nonetheless. Not the strongest Beatles album, and some songs are tainted by Phil Spector's wall of sound techniques and overproduction. In my opinion, The Long And Winding Road didn't need the strings, and it took away the emotion out of the song, and instead turning it into saccharine. No wonder Paul quit once he heard the master tapes!But "Across The Universe" is one of my all time favorite songs, and the rest of the songs are pretty good, so it's a 9 out of 10 for me.
Is the review positive or negative?
