Free Music Notes for Magical Mystery Tour
Free Music Review: I'm sorry this is beatles at there best
Hit: 5 Stars
I just love this album until I herd this Sgt peppers was the best but I donno know now I really like this album like every freekin song is great. Those two album represent a time before and it the band started to have major conflicts but after most of the 12 year old screaming girls sure bith those eras were good but this is when they were ther most focused and it shows.Free Music Review: BORING
Hit: 1 Stars
This CD is totally boring, even when "Penny Lane" comes along to "pick things up", 'cause by the time "Penny Lane" comes along, I'm already so down and out b/c of how boring the previous tracks are, "Penny Lane" just isn't much; I like music from all decades and the '60's is no exception. But what the heck is so great about this CD? Nothing.Free Music Review: All you haters-SHUT UP!
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm sick of all of you ignorant people whose taste in music consists only music made in modern times. This is especially sad considering most modern music (with the exception of Nirvana, Sonic Youth, AFI and some Green Day) most modern music is very one-dimensional and tasteless compared to music of the past.
Now, to review this album:
Magical Mystery Tour: Nice but somewhat repetitive intro which is really nothing more than a motif to introduce the album and doesn't stand well on its own. 7/10
Fool on the Hill: One of Paul's best compositions ever. The tasteful, unobtrusive instrumentation complements the simple wisdom of the lyrics quite well. 10/10
Flying: An odd little instrumental but definitely worth listening to. 8/10
Blue Jay Way: Interesting, yet a little too preachy (though not as preachy as Within You Without You on Sgt. Pepper's). Also too monotonous (sp?). 6/10
Your mother Should Know: Cute, if a little trite in the lyric department. 8/10
I am the Walrus: For all you 12yr old idiots out there who hate this song because you can't "get it" and run crying to your moms in frustration and confusion, and call J. Lennon crazy, you should know that he wrote it to fool middle-class middle school ignoramuses like yourselves. I personally love the mad wordplay and freaky orchestration. 10/10
Hello, Goodbye: Okay, but once again a little mundane lyrically (not that that is always bad). Plus whenever I hear or read this song's name I instantly think of that nauseating techno-emo (or whatever it is) band. So its name is forever spoiled. 8/10
Strawberry Fields Forever: Very good introspective lyrics and surreal instrumentation. 10/10
Penny Lane: Very good bass line and storyline. 10/10
Baby you're a rich man: Interesting lyrics until you really think about them and realize they mean nothing. 7/10
All you need is love: A classic. 10/10
All in all, I give this album a B+.
Free Music Review: Way, way AWESOMEO!!!!!!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is such a great C.D. It has so many good songs like hello, goodbye, strawberry fields forever, penny lane, and others. The songs put on the C.D. as filler are great songs. In fact all the songs I mentioned above are filler. Good songs right? But it's not just the filler that's good. The other songs on the C.D. are good too. Like i am the walrus, yes I know I've got weird taste.
Well what I'm trying to say is: BUY THE C.D.!!!!!!!! It's great! =D
Free Music Review: Dying To Take You Away
Hit: 5 Stars
Though most folks consider the trilogy of "Rubber Soul", "Revolver" and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band" to be the Fab Four's finest work, I would substitute "Magical Mystery Tour" for "Rubber Soul" in this holy trilogy. "Tour" has been cited as an uneven album compared to "Soul" but I think it's the other way around. Don't get me wrong-"Rubber Soul" is a terrific album, the one that showed the Beatles starting to experiment with their sound but for sheer brilliance and total innovation one can't beat songs like the best three found on this disc. Simply put, "Strawberry Fields Forever", "Penny Lane" and "I Am The Walrus" changed the face of pop music forever. Nothing before these gems were released ever sounded anything like the worlds these songs took us to. They truly inhabited their own space. Yes, there are a few weak tunes on this disc. I've always thought "Your Mother Should Know" and "Flying" were a bit lame but two songs out of eleven is not a bad ratio. I also particularly love George's colorfully weird "Blue Jay Way", Paul's lovely "Fool on the Hill" and nonsensical (in a good way) "Hello Goodbye" and John's cryptic ode to materialism, "Baby You're a Rich Man". Rounding things out is THE ultimate anthem of the Summer of Love, John's "All You Need Is Love". This album may be more a collection of songs as opposed to a unified studio effort but what a collection! This is one of the Beatles' essential albums- acquire it and be amazed.
