The Beatles "Love"

Hi all!

I picked this CD up about a week ago, and have been listening to it non stop since. It is truly AMAZING!! Many new twists on old Beatles songs, and it gives them a whole new sound. I think that the continuous mix flows beautifully, in a very Dark Side of the Moon way. Strawberry Fields Forever into Within You/Without You - Tomorrow Never Knows into Lucy in the Sky is one of the greatest 10 minutes ever in recorded history!
So, who's listened to the CD? What do you all think?

    I've listened to it, and I think it is pretty good. It's extremely well done, and flows together excellently. However, I'm the kind of personality that prefers to listen to full albums as opposed to compilations. However, if I am ever in the mood to hear a mix Beatle songs, this would definitely get played.

    But I think the continuous mix is what sets it apart from any ordinary greatest hits package or compilation. Also, the remixes give it a feel as though nearly every song is "new".

    We do have another thread on this album....but since I just came here specifically to talk about this again...I will use this thread....

    I too think it's amazing! I am usually against these type of things....but I tell ya what, anything Sir George Martin wants to do is fine by me! He is as much of the originals as it gets. He did a terrific job with this album. I hear things in it I never heard before. Just spectacular!!!

    Sorry Animal, I even looked for it but didn't see. So true. The lyrics from Within You/Without You mixed on top of Tomorrow Never Knows just blew my mind the first time I heard it.
    The intro to Get Back is really cool as well.

    It is pretty fucking amazing, the fact that all the songs are in true stereo is amazing enough, even without the cool mash-ups.

    Within you Without you/Tommorrow Never Knows and the awesome medley of songs at the outro of Strawberry Fields (Sgt peppers, In my life, Piggies, penny lane, and Hello Goodbye) are reason enough to get this album

    Don't have it yet but I've nothing but great stuff about it.

    I'll definitely be picking it up soon...and I'm really not much of a Beatles fan (don't own a thing of theirs) but I can appreciate some well done music!

    Yep. And the way Strawberry Fields starts with just an acoustic and is slowly layered to the version we know is simply brilliant.

    It is really amazing...

    "A consistently good band works all the different elements well. A song has to appeal sentimentally, intellectually, physically, viscerally, and dig deep down into your soul and suck you into it. And after that, of course, it'd be a matter of taste." ~ Kim Thayil from Soundgarden

    Yes, it's amazing.

    you can always go back and listen to the original versions. remember, the Beatles aren't like Pearl Jam where you have the studio track and then hundreds of live tracks to listen to. sure their are live performances of Paul's songs out there but otherwise, the orignals from the post-Rubber Soul albums are all we have. it's nice to see they've done something to give the old songs a twist. and you have to admit that the Tommorrow Never Knows/Within You Without You track is cool.


    P.S. why do you always have to type with such small letters?
