i was worried about the new beatles record, love, when i first heard about it.
but when i heard the vocal line for "within you without you" over the rhythm track for "tomorrow never knows," i was amazed. there is some really cool stuff going on, like taking "good night" and putting the "octopus's garden" vocal melody in there instead.
later on in the record there is some pitch-bending and such, which is understandable, cuz if you've ever tried to play along to some of the later stuff, you'll realize it's sorely out of tune.
towards the end of the record, there is less mashing, which was kind of a disappointment, but i guess you have to get into cirque du soleil mode, and realize there's supposed to be a show going on over this. and then it's forgivable.
honestly, the record is sort of like a fresh perspective on some beatles tunes. and sir george martin still has it. yes.
UPDATE: being a beatles kid, after repeatedly listening to 'love,' i just really want to sing along to the whole tunes; with this record, most of the time you don't get that. after a while you think, "man, 30 seconds of 'what you're doing' just isn't cutting it." and then you realize you should have just listened to 'rubber soul' and the rest of the original records, because, like always, nothing will ever top them.

Hi you,
i'm Alessio, i'm writing to you from Rome, Italy.
With a bunch of friends i've had for almost one year an mp3-blog named IndieForDummies, but due copyright problem we've changed the name in IndieForBunnies.
So our new link is www.indieforbunnies.com
Last year we made a music-blog survey, asking to the most number of blog we could , the 10 best albums of the year.
After that we made a huge classification of the best 2005 album, you can see the result here :
http://indiefordummies.blogspot.com/2005/12/music-blog-top-100-album-2005-blogs.html
We want do it again, with the best albums of 2006.
So once again this mail is for a music-blog survey.
We are asking to all the music-blogs around the web (we will try to reach all of them), to write us which are, in their opinion, the best 10 music albums of the year .
After received all the answers we will compose a huge final classification trying to determinate which are the most appreciated 2006 albums in the music-blog world.
So send us a mail ( indiefordummies@gmail.com )with your TOP TEN 2006 (with positions number) album, and write us the name and the complete URL of your blog.
No music genres restrictions, just put albums released for the first time in the 2006 year.
Obviously we will pleased to send you all the results at the end of the survey.
We will accept answers to this survey until the 25th of December.
I hope you like our idea instead if you think it sucks please don't hate us :-)
we are doing this just for music passion .
Have a nice day,
Axelmoloko
P.S. If you know other music-blog, please tell them about this survey or forward them this mail...we want to reach all the music blog is possible. thanx....
