Title: I didn't LOVE this album
Review: I'm sure the idea of having George Martin and his son Giles re-mix the Beatles's songs must have sounded very appealing to the remaining Beatles, their wives and the record company. However, this idea never lives up to its promise. The transition mixes are a jumble of sounds that scramble one style period to the next. The "Benefit of Mr. Kite/I Want You/Helter Skelter" stands out as especially bad. The acoustic version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" starts as a potential highlight of the album, only to be ruined by the weepy string arrangement of George Martin, who said he was apprehensive about doing it. The Beatles songs are great, but there is no flow in this album and the transitions and selections from one song to the next are jarring. I liked the music but did not LOVE this album.
Is the review positive or negative?
