[CRAZY-HORSE]

THE BEATLES "the beatles" cd,1968.

disc one:

I LOVE THIS DISC

not going to get too much into the ins and outs of this album and/or its history as i'll leave out too much info and Gryphon will no doubt correct me!
anyway,,,the fab four were a fractured mess around this time, all working as individual solo artists for the most part and tollerating eachother when they really had or needed to!
that doesnt detract from the albums songs though, disc one,apart from two tracks(wild honey pie,why dont we do it in the road?) are very good to brilliant songs,infact of the seventeen tracks on offer on this disc, ten come in at a love rating here, five get 'likes' and the two above mentioned tracks are simply aweful not only by Beatle standards but by any standard!.

disc rating: 2.5



THE BEATLES "the beatles" cd,1968.

disc two:

I LIKE THIS DISC!

only thirteen tracks on the second disc....and three of those are not good at all(long long long, revolution #9,goodnight), six love tracks here also and three likes, like the first disc, too hard to pull one out as being the best track, but its got to be one of Lennon's songs...the guy was at the top of his game on these two discs, Paul was, for the most part, quite mediocre,George was both brilliant(while my guitar gently weeps) and very average,
that said though i think as a whole the whole album of thirty tracks is a testament to the best and worst of what The Beatles were...when they were at their best, they were streets ahead of everyone else in the game, when they were bad they were abysmal!

disc two rating 2.1

overall rating of both discs 2.3
