If you don't own the White Album, you will probably find songs in here that you have never heard before. Hearing the songs in their original order, as they were released back in the 1960s gives you a lot of feel for the band and each of the individual personalities. You don't get that same sense if you hear a collection that picks and chooses songs over a longer period of time. I have owned the album for over 20 years, and each time I listen to it gives me more of a flavor for who the Beatles were. My favorite of the album is George Harrison's "While my Guitar Gently Weeps", but there are so many other creative songs to talk about. Enjoy!! | |

With the White Album, it is obvious each Beatle went his own way, wrote great music, recorded it and then compiled it to deliver a two LP collective solo effort. The songs are brilliant ranging from the rockers (Helter Skelter, Back In The USSR, Everybody's Got Something to Hide), to blues (While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Yer Blues), to tongue in cheek (Why Don't We Do It In The Road) to the out right weird (Revolution 9). The White Album with its introspective tone represents everything that made the Beatles, either as a group or as individuals, the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. No rock music collection is complete with out this album. ** BnB Beatles Depot ** | |

The music is fresh, unique, and incredibly diverse, showcasing the varied talents of the four band members (even Ringo was allowed a song he composed himself, "Don't Pass Me By".), which would be highlighted in later years in their solo careers. The popularity of the songs is sometimes attributed to the fact that they are personal and self-referencing. Many songs were conceived during the group's visit to India in 1968. The songs on the album run the range of genres, from rock (Helter Skelter, While My Guitar Gently Weeps), ska (Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da), blues (Yer Blues), pop (Birthday, Back in the USSR), and acoustic ballads (Blackbird, Julia). The songs were also arranged with symmetry on the album, grouping together like songs and/or distributing them evenly throughout the album. This is a must have for any popular music buff. The White Album is considered by many fans and musicians to be the pinnacle of the Beatles musical career, catering to a wide range of musical tastes. This is the first original double album issued by the Beatles and each song is a separate and distinct masterpiece. The recording was originally available in both stereo and mono, with subtle differences in the mono versions making it a rare find for avid collectors. Pros - Unique, diverse musical menu; classic collectible packaging; long term enjoyment. Cons - For those accustomed to Beatles previous material, a huge change. | |

And I am even more sure there are less that had quality songs throughout the whole album. Moreover, the songs contained in The White Album are so musically diversified, showcasing the talents of each band member (well.. maybe except Ringo?) Amongst the Beatles fan, there are many who will vote Revolver or Sgt Peppers as their favourite albums but, I think if someone is to select tracks off from the White Album and combine them into a single LP, it will certainly be the best album ever made. My personal favourites off this album includes Helter Skelter (louder than The Who?), Mother Nature's Son, Sexy Sadie, While my guitar gently weeps, blackbird, and I Will. Ok. i'm more of a McCartney fan. I personally think this album isn't the best starting point for someone listening to the Beatles but this is certainly the essential album to have for everyone who listens to music. | |

It was maybe the first sign that all was not well in the Beatles camp showing a branching out by the 4 members into almost solo efforts under the Beatles title. Yet it still remains a favorite among any Beatle fan it really has everything from pop, metal, experimental, folky, and even has lush strings attached. It's an album which will continue to please far into the future. | |

THE WHITE ALBUM IS WITHOUT A DOUBT THE BEATLES MOST DIVERSE ALBUM,FROM HEAVY METAL TO COUNTRY THERE IS SOMETHING FOR JUST ABOUT EVERY MUSIC FAN. THIS ALBUM IS CONSIDERED ON OF THE 10 BEST ALBUMS OF ALL TIME BY MOST MUSIC REVIEWERS,WITH SONGS LIKE"WHILE MY GUITAR GENTLY WEEPS","I WILL","REVOLUTION",AND DOZENS OF OTHERS ALMOST EVERY SONG IS A CLASSIC. PERHAPS THE BEST TEST OR ANY MUSIC'C RELEVANCE IS IT'S STAYING POWER,IT'S BEEN NEARLY 40 YEARS SINCE THE RELEASE OF THE WHITE ALBUM,YET MOST OF THE SONGS ARE STILL AS REVENANT AND MEANINGFUL TODAY AS THEY WERE THEN. THIS ALBUM IS A MUST FOR ANY MUSIC FAN,IT IS A GREAT ACHIEVEMENT IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC | |

The band song writers also made it clear on how they viewed the events of the time. One of the last major undertakings of the beatles before the split. | |

But, there is no point in me explaining what this album is. People much more musically educated than me have turned picking it apart and explaining what the pieces mean into a science. I'll just tell you why I like it. The Brilliant Tracks: The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Marth My Dear, Blackbird, Piggies, Julia, Long, Long, Long, Sexy Sadie The Really Bad Song: Why Don't We Do It In The Road (at least it makes me laugh). The good songs: Pretty much everything else. 4 Stars | |
