No, they don't have to be mutually exclusive, but they usually are. I don't think there's much raw passion on latter day Beatles records. Please Please Me and A Hard Day's Night still explode with an amazing energy. After that...I'd say they started trading excitement for polish. Not that it's a zero-sum proposition, but in their case, I think it was.
