The White Album (Not a DLC question)

[GThrasher128]

I was listening to it today and it stands out. Its sort of like the black sheep of the albums. It seems a very dark album to me. Its hard for me to explain but does anyone feel this way?

The Beatles were changing alot during that time, they were growing apart musically and physically. Yes, a lot of the album has a dark undertone depending on how you look at it, but it stands out as one of my favorites with the sheer volume of awesome songs to enjoy. Research more about the history of it (assuming you don't know alread) it is quite interesting.

Yeah I own a few books that say that this is when they were growing apart. Its deffinately their most interesting album I think.

I know what you mean. Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da and Birthday are some of the most dark songs the Beatles ever wrote

Hah! Even with those songs if you took them and put them on anyother album it would be the stand out track but since all the songs on the White Album are so different it works.

Yes I do agree, The White Album has a dark tone with songs like, Happiness is a Warm Gun, Helter Skelter, Revolution 9, Bungalow Bill, etc.

However this was a time when they were really under tension, and beginning to leave the band, with a lot of different emotions during this album, it's a real mash of different feelings.

I'm sorry to be off topic, but you're signature is awesome!

To me it sounds more like a compilation album of Lennon/McCartney/Starr/Harrison songs rather than a Beatles album.

Oh I totally can agree with this.
