Strengths: NA

Weaknesses: NA

Summary: 2003-11-26 00:00:00 This album isn't ranked as highly as "Sgt Pepper" or as "Revolver, and it was made at a time when the Beatles were fed up with each other. However, it is a work of art, a mixture of toughness and tenderness. Although tunes like "Revolution 9" and "Obladi Oblada" do not satisfy, they are redeemed by standouts like "Dear Prudence", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Happiness is A Warm Gun". "Helter Skelter" gives us a side of Paul we've never seen before-the horny screamer. Although the album is very disjointed, due to the prevailing disunity of the Beatles at the time, the prevailing theme seems to be a longing for tenderness in a chaotic and violent world.

Strengths: NA

Weaknesses: NA

Summary: 2001-07-15 00:00:00 I don't recognize the significance of this album, or the Beatles for the most part. It may be because my generation just doesn't get it, but how is the white album "revolutionary"? It certainly can't be the 3-chord, one stanza songs. I would certainly be willing to listen if anyone would like to explain.

Weaknesses: NA

Summary: 2008-09-24 01:57:00 An double LP record album that would have been five stars edited to a single LP. If you think there isn't a bad song on the album you must have forgotten the "Number 9" cut. Crap that goes on forever. Shades of Yoko Ono!

Strengths: NA

Weaknesses: NA

Summary: 2007-03-27 08:21:00 One of the greatest albums I've ever heard, I can't make up my mind whether this is their best album or not, but I look at it this way, it's a double album by what I'd consider to be the greatest rock act of all time. I'm not sure an album has ever come out with quite as much diversity- some might find it unfocused or disjointed, but I think that's a strength. This album had folk rock, psychedelia, country, experimental weirdness, hard rock, ska/ proto-reggae, oldtime rock n' roll, ballads, soul- nearly everything. It's as close to being a complete document of the varying strands of popular music of 1968 as you'll get, and if I had to pick only one year that would qualify as the absolute zenith of rock music, 1968 would be that year. A few songs, like "Wild Honey Pie" and "Why Don't We Do It In The Road?' are merely snippets, and I'm not gonna pull a hipper than thou move and say that "Revolution 9" was a work of genius- it is ludicrous, but other albums may be as good, but they don't get much better than this...

Strengths: NA

Weaknesses: NA

Summary: 2007-01-19 03:00:00 The White Album was much more than simply a listening experience, it was an event. It was a place in time that you never forget. It was like landing on the moon; you never forget that moment. I mean, we're almost forty years out here, people, and this album still holds up to all the electronic gadgetry bands try to get by with today. The Beatles weren't just ahead of their time as a unit, they were a piece of history that will live on forever. No band can ever live up to that. These so called great albums that we see today will be totally forgotten in the next forty years. But I would venture to bet that they'll still be talking about The Beatles and The White Album in 2046!!

Strengths: NA

Weaknesses: NA

Summary: 2006-03-28 07:21:00 Never before and never since has a rock & roll band made a collection of songs like this. One after another, the classics roll out of this album. When it came out it was almost too much of a good thing. People lost days digging into each track. Like an audio vacation for your musical soul.

Strengths: NA

Weaknesses: NA

Summary: 2006-03-23 04:48:00 The album represents the great "what if" of the Beatles career. Because the band wasn't getting along particularly well, they basically worked independatly in the studio and then brought one another in to finish off the basic tracks. Could the band have continued for another decade if they continued to work in this manner instead of force themselves together into a room and fall apart, as happened during the making of Let It Be? It basically worked for the Rolling Stones in their worst periods of acrimony.

Strengths: NA

Weaknesses: NA

Summary: 2005-08-12 07:33:00 THE BEATLES, oficial name of the White ALbum, is one of the top five albums of all time. Not only for the serious Beatles fan, it has music that all rockers can enjoy. From the sublime to serious rock and roll, the White Album personifies what rock was in the 1960's. A classic album from the epitome of classic rock. If it were possible to rate it higher than *****, it surely would be.
