If cut to a single disc, it easily becomes my favourite Beatles album.

I remember that thread. I think it'd definitely be a lot better if it were a single album.

I like to write these reviews with extremes. Whether or not I think the album deserves the hate i'm throwing at it, it's just fun to be really up front and personal about it
I do put them in this journal though fully knowing that I don't like it, so I suppose it's not all that extreme.

I could listen to the album ten times in a row and there's no way i'd ever be able to say it has only one bad track. A few of them are cringe worthy, but that's for another day.
