Far and away the most overrated release in rock history. How this overbloated, indulgent, meandering mess gets so many 9s and 10s I will never understand.
Name more than 6 good songs on this album, I fucking dare you.
What did you kill?
>How this overbloated, indulgent, meandering mess gets so many 9s and 10s I will never understand.
Because it says "The Beatles" on the cover.

Not even the most overrated Beatles album
Haha nice try fag
>>61354315
You can say exactly the same for Trout Mask Replica. If you just can't appreciate it, you should listen to other music
White Album is the most hard-to-get-into album by the beatles

>>61355303
these exactly actually
well done anon
>>61355303
Half of that is an alright list but a lot of those tracks are filler garbage
>>61355459
which ones do you think are "filler garbage"?
>>61355362
What is? Don't say Sgt. Pepper's because that's wrong.
>>61355363
S-sorry George.
>>61355381
Don't even imply that any Beatles album is hard to get into, let alone compare them to fucking TMR. The technicality of TMR blows out anything the Beatles ever wrote, barring harmonic structure (which both Paul and John had an extremely powerful natural grasp of).
>>61355303
I can agree with maybe half of this, but you can't be fucking serious with Back in the USSR and Why Don't We Do It in the Road.
>>61355499
I was going to say Abbey Road but Sgt. Pepper's is up there too
THE
fact
>>61355499
Why Don't We Do It in the Road is based tho. USSR isn't amazing but it's a nice throwback rock n roll track
I'm great
Paul sucks btw
>>61355499
>muh technics
>I'll play completely coordinated notes that will end up sounding totally random, so I must be considered a genius for that
>haha guys, you totally thought it was random, but it's not! it was all planned!!!
>Captain Beefheart was a misunderstood genius!!!!
literal autism, I do recognise there are songs that helped to create genres like MANY bands, and that's it.
Trout Mask Replica is overrated
>>61355530
At least Abbey Road is cohesive, and the medley on side B is mint. Side A is spotty as fuck but it's got one of Paul and George's best, plus Because.
I'd call it the 2nd most overrated late Beatles album, and Sgt. Pepper's the third.
>>61355652
You are an idiot if you think that just because it sounds weird means it isn't hard as fuck to play.
I don't even care about complexity or technicality that much and barely spin TMR, but comparing anything in the Beatles' discography is outright fucking stupid. It's fucking pop music.
>>61355700
Yeah like I want to put a underwear on my head and play that nonsense bullshit so bad, so i can be the most avant-garde artist ever, right?
put Revolution 9 and She Loves You on the table. do these two sound the same? I'm afraid not
>>61355875
Kid, are you fucking serious?
Blatantly inaccurate disparaging comment on TMR aside, the fact that you're sitting here pulling the "MUH REVOLUTION 9" card tells me you need to go right the fuck back to reddit. Musique concrete wasn't a new thing in popular music at the time; it wasn't even a new thing to the Beatles by 1968. Revolution 9 is meaningless noodling and John's experimental side at its absolute worst.
>>61355927
I picked up Rev 9 cause we're talking about the white album, right?
>"the fact"
>"back to reddit"
this is why I can't take /mu/ people seriously
>>61355927
Disagree with the idea it's meaningless noodling. It's pretty interesting in its execution and actually has a concept to it.It's actually one of the strongest examples of Musique Concrete for its time
>>61355996

What the fuck is wrong with this? Because scaruffi said it? Holy shit, grow a brain dude.

Reddit took over this topic pretty quickly. Guess I should have expected this since it's a Beatles thread. Such an engaging band to talk about until you try talking to idiots about them.
>>61356107
The only filler, that is also a damn good filler, is why don't we do it in the road
long, long, long filler?
>>61356135
When no words can describe other people's bullshit, Paul's face can do it perfectly
>>61356107
What the fuck I hope this is a joke

Translation: when I don't have an argument, my collection of saved images of a musician will suffice (or so I tell myself).

It's a fucking imageboard who even cares
Also calling the Beatles overrated has been done a million times, you aren't special
>>61356827
>bro who even cares lol
And who ever said I want to be special? People call the Beatles overrated because they are.
>>61355381
Did you seriously just suggest that the white album is 2deep4u?
>>61356860
Yes they are, and they're still good, so again, who cares?
If you care that much go jack off to Scaruffi's Beatles rant

Why are you even fucking here, reddit?

uhh I don't think you know what "praised" means anon
The double album The Beatles (November 1968), very similar in spirit to the Byrds' Notorious Byrd Brothers (June 1968), is a disorganized heap of incongruous ideas. No other Beatles album had ever been so varied and eclectic. Their new "progressive" libido found an outlet in blues-rock (Rocky Raccoon, Why Don't We Do It In The Road), and especially the giddy hyper-boogies (Birthday and Helter Skelter). As a consequence of this fragmented inspiration, the record includes a cornucopia of genres: classical (Piggies, a rare moment of genius from Harrison, a baroque sonata performed with the sarcastic humour of the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, with a melody borrowed from Stephane Grappelli's Eveline), acoustic folk (Blackbird), the campfire sing-a-long (Bungalow Bill), ballads (Cry Baby Cry - one of their best piano progressions), the usual vaudeville-style parade (Don't Pass Me By, Martha My Dear, Obladi Oblada), and melodic rock (While My Guitar Gently Weeps, the jewel of their tunefulness). The album wraps up with a long jam, more or less avantgarde, (Revolution No. 9, co-written by John Lennon and Yoko Ono) two years after everybody else, and three years after the eleven minutes of Goin' Home, by the Stones.
The so called White Album sampled the mood change of rock music toward a simpler and more traditional way to make music. It was released three months after Sweetheart Of The Rodeo by the Byrds, which in turn had followed Dylan's John Wesley Harding. It is also an album that reflects the passing of Brian Epstein.
>>61357070
I may be wrong, but I think you're suggesting that The Beatles are supposed to be the masterband that creates everything with absolutely no influences and can't be influenced by other people's music because that'd be a flaw for them
>>61354315
Name more than 6 bad songs on this album
