Looks like you enjoyed it! Every song different. There one more album to do - the non album tracks. The album is called “Past Masters” have the biggest hits and B sides.
That compilation has a lot of bangers on it, especially the 65’ and 66’ singles, I can’t wait untill he reacts to it
Yeah past masters has some of their biggest songs on it!!
They're spread over two albums/CDs"whatever else kids listen to music today by, Past Masters Vol 1 and 2. 1 has the early catchy stuff which made them but 2 is where they went from a pop band to serious artists and musicians.
Well, Past Masters are the singles and b-sides that weren't on the albums.
I don’t understand why so many people sleep on “I Me Mine.” It’s so damn good. I think you need to see some of these live, which you can do by watching the “Get Back” documentary. ‘Abbey Road’ was the last album they recorded but this was the last album released (because they were waiting on the Let It Be documentary to be finished to release simultaneously.) Did you do ‘Magical Mystery Tour?’ That’s my jam!
I did but they deleted it!
Watch them perform some of these songs live in the rooftop concert - you’ll appreciate them more
That's pretty much what I look like when I listen to Let It Be. ❤
3:01 "Seeing this live would be awesome, though, I'll be hones t"
That song was recorded live on a rooftop :)
They recorded Let It Be in January '69. Abbey Road was August '69.
Get Back, Dig a Pony and other Roof Concert songs were live performances-no overdoubs etc.
I love watching peoples reaction when listening to across the universe for the first time
Such a great song
This album has some of the most beautiful songs and then it has dig a pony dig it and maggie mae
I don’t get what’s wrong w dig a pony when people say it’s bad
@@Texas808I do agree it's good but when you put it next to let it be across the universe and the long and winding road.
But dig a pony is pretty enjoyable in its own right
Dig A Pony, to me, has the most soulful little guitar solo in a Beatles song. On par with Let It Be, in a different way.
@@jamesxboxgaming i seriously enjoy dig a pony 1000 times more than across the universe and winding road. That riff is so fun to play
Disagree with you on "Dig a Pony". I think it's one of the best songs on the Let It Be album - fabulous vocals, lyrics, guitars. Very underrated. But I fully agree with you about "Across the Universe", "I Me Mine", "Let It Be", "I've Got a Feeling" and "Long and Winding Road" - all of them are great songs. LIB is not one of the Beatles' top albums, but it has a nice down-to-earth feel about it, plus a couple of truly magnificent tracks: "Across the Universe" and "Let It Be".
As mentioned elsewhere there are two more Beatles albums/CDs, Past Masters Volume 1 and 2, which contain the Beatles singles not included on the albums. This includes many of their most important songs. Some of the songs, like Let It Be, Love Me Do, and Revolution, are instances where the album version and the single version are different.
im a bit late but one after 909 was like them returning to their roots, its one of the first songs paul and john wrote together and they used to play it at the cavern club in liverpool before they were famous
Wait, really? That's awesome!
They saved it by adding the guitar riff, not to mention the keyboard bit. As it was back in 1964, they were right to think it was not good enough to be put on an album.
Dig a Pony, Ive got a Feeling and Get Back are all the Live versions from the rooftop. They were so good they didnt bother making studio versions for the album release
I see!
I agree with you. The riff in the beginning just gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
You'll find that the more you play Beatles albums that the tracks that you originally dissed, you start to like more and more!!😂🇬🇧
Andre, you are great! Thanks for letting me hear the Beatles with new ears. ~Shan
Not as great as you!
Love the Beatles. Abby Road is my favorite album.
When you'r going on a long trip. Abby Road makes it fun. Turn it up.
I can’t stop returning to it!
Absolutely agree with you about ‘I’ve Got a Feeling’ - one of the most underrecognized tunes in their catalog imo. I’d rank ‘Two of Us’ higher than you and ‘I Me Mine’ lower, but otherwise pretty much track with your thoughts. Hopefully you’ll watch The Beatles rooftop concert scene from Get Back-well worth it!
My favorite Beatles album is Revolver, with Rubber Soul, Sgt Pepper, Abbey Road, Magical Mystery Tour, White Album and A Hard Days Night rotating among themselves among 2-7. Beatles For Sale is last, but it has several good songs and the band was exhausted after the unbelievable craziness of the prior year!
They just never stopped going!
live at the bbc and the beatles anthology is where to go to hear their R&B genius
Abbey road was recorded after let it be. But let it be was released 15 months after this album was recorded and abbey road was the very last album the Beatles ever recorded
Love this, your reviews are so interesting and genuinely given. White album has to be my favourite, then maybe Let it be, I love the laid back feel of it. How about doing a Moody Blues album ? Maybe the most underrated band of all time
Thank you so much!
And I’d love to! Thanks for the suggestion
The Beatles Greates Band of All Time😀
Greatest
Great stuff man
Thanks!
Just come across this for the first time. I've always loved Andre's reactions (I fell across it after keying in his White Album vid for about the 2,000th time) and though I'm not goi
(whoops, accidentally hit the send) that was supposed to continue-
...I'm not going to watch tonight (too many other things to do) but I recommend higher than this, the recently(ish) revised Let It Be Naked version. Better track choices and no spectre of Spector.*
I'll be back tomorrow to listen it.
btw - and Americans won't guess this - but did you know that Phil Spector's brother used to work for Walkers? His name is Crispin.
@@bodsnvimtothank you for your support! Honestly. ❤️. You’re amazing! And I’ll have to!
@@bodsnvimtoI think what he enjoyed the most on this album is spectors orchestration and I'm with him. They stuff they made afterwards was very good produced while the get back sessions were messy.
my favorite beatles album fs
Holy shit XD 😂😂😂 Love it 😂❤
they did film a live version...check out their rooftop preformance
Great video man! Can't wait for you to hear some AWOL
Thanks man! I can't wait!
I highly recommend you listen to the album let it be… naked (It’s the original vision the Beatles had for the album, stripped down, diffrent track listing, etc)
I'll have to at some point!
Abbey Road was recorded to show what they could do in the studio and let it be was recorded to show what they could do live in one take essentially.
Ringo Star is the “someone on the drums”. There’s only four of them plus Billy Preston.
one after 909 was one of the very first songs that McCartney and Lennon wrote as kids
A full circle album from an eclectic band is
A Grand Don't Come For Free
By a band called
The Streets
You really need to hit them up.
Gimme some “Don’t let me down”!
One of their best songs.
Which one lol
@@ianprescott7924 let it be
Andre, you mention that there's only three tracks you'll revisit. Given that Let It Be is clearly one of them, obviously from your reaction, that means two from my favourite three on this album: I've Got a Feeling, The Long and Winding Road, and Across the Universe. Which one are you not wanting to go back on, 'cos I recommend them all for further listening
You then went on to note that the real last album made by them was the vastly superior Abbey Rd. The fact that they ended with The End is almost perfect...
...except that they made it truly perfect by not taking themselves too seriously with such a massive statement, but instead finished with a touch of gentle humour in Her Majesty. Just the IDEAL way to wrap up for the greatest band ever.
I think that I love Across the Universe but would return to I've Got A Feeling and The Long and Winding Road way more often. With that being said, I do like the album, just don't love it the way I have with the others.
I'm sorry we can't get the video for For You Blue It's banned as part of the movie being banned.
Now that you've listened to so much Beatles, you might enjoy the movie Across the Universe.
There was a film that went along with this album which was very behind the scenes in the studio. So, a lot the songs are supposed to have a jam session feel. Short, incomplete, lots of chatter before and after, etc.
‘Let it be… Naked’ is definitely the best version of the album, takes away the wall of sound for a more stripped back production, with a few tracks taken out and added in, not to mention a track order that makes sense, heavily recommend!
I'll have to check it out
I don't think Naked is better. It has some great alternatives, but it looks like Phil Spector was mostly right when choosing the takes he put on his 1970 Let It Be. The whole project was out of control, so one can't really judge what could be the best desigion for those tracks in terms of sequencing and production.
@@Zholobov1 the out of control nature of it is definitely true, but I personally just prefer the more stripped back production on the ‘Naked’ version, either way they both lack the cohesion of the bands better albums
@@Ellis2003 you see, such songs as the title one, have to be "dressed" in the arrangements anyway. After "Let It Be" (the song) came into the scene, it became obvious for Paul that the sloppy bass part, played by John, needed to be redone, and that the guitar solo must have been reworked and also some backing vocals were needed. That’s when the initial attitude to the project changed. We can say that it was that song alone which broke the original idea after all. Maybe they shouldn't have put it on the album at all, leaving for a single release only. But it was also a commercial desigion, no doubt. And after they "dressed up" "Let It Be", they went further in dressing up "The Long And Winding Road", "Across The Universe" and "I Me Mine". Was that a reasonable move? Who knows... For "Across The Universe" I personally choose the Naked version, and when thinking about "Let It Be", I'm in for the Spector's take, but as for the rest... I'm not that certain. The initial intent to make an "honest" album failed in the process, because those are songs themselves which dictate the right treatment sometimes.
@@Zholobov1 nah fam, Naked is way better, Phil spector contaminated all the sound
Best Beatles album hard, and I would probably have to distinguish between best and favorite. I think their best album, and coincidentally, my favorite would be Revolver. Revolver was so groundbreaking, and they were at the peak of their group cohesion. Starting with Sgt Pepper, Lennon started becoming less committed. I would put Abbey Road as 2nd best. 2nd favorite, as in the next ones I play most, would be a tie between Abbey Road and their first album, Please Please Me
For You Blue was Harrison's song.
I dont know if you’ve already heard but they also released two new songs in the 90s from some of johns demos, please check them out they’re great!
I'll check them out
"Will it go round in Circles" - Billy Preston...the keyboard player in "Get Back."
❤❤
Just found your beatles vids, you gotta do pet sounds by the beach boys if you havent. Rubber soul inspired pet sounds and that inspired sgt peppers. Paul says its one of his absolute favorite albums and god only knows is his favorite song. Theres very few reaction channels i sub to but this is one
Thank you so much for subbing and being a part of the journey! I've listen to Pet Sounds before I was filming reactions but I think it may be the best album of all time!
@@rjisasavage cool, cool. Yeah pet sounds is definitely one of the goat albums. Maybe you could do a reaction to a song or album by the doors? Either way keep doing ya thing bro
Let it be…naked is a pretty cool album (it was the Beatles original vision of the album) maybe give it a listen, some songs are very diffrent. I think it has a lot more of a soul then the original
Gorge Martin will always be the fifth Beatle
I recomend to watch the movie “Across the Universe”
in my opinion for you blue is the best beatles song just listen to it a couple times and you will love it
Magical Mystery Tour next 👀
Had it up and they took it from y’all!
@@rjisasavage😢
Still really looking forward to an album reaction of Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd
A lot upcoming! Just been a little busy
Wheres dont let me down?
It was not included on the original album but released as a single.
Phil Spector arranged the orchestration for this album - a lot of people didn't like it :/
The songs feel better seeing them live in person because most every obviously done live. They probably should have done the album in a more professional studio way. Like the best sounding songs are the ones that weren't done in that month of 1969. Across The Universe 1968, I Me Mine 1970, backing vocals and guitar solo of Let It Be 1970/1969 and also the orchestration 1970.
I really want to watch Get Back. It may give me a better love for the album
@@rjisasavage Thats for sure. Ah, and maybe the best song of that get back month besides let it be is don't let me down, which wasn't included on the album sadly.
I don't think you can label The Beatles as a rock group or a pop group. It's more like they were their own group that played rock, played pop, but in many ways invented genres and let others develop those genres.
The Beatles were artists. They were driven to create art, which is why they spent three weeks in January 69 creating all new songs for their live concert rather than simply performing recent hits off the White album.
It’s all literally rock music
Just wanna say that George Harrison wrote I me mine in one night.
1. Sgt Peppers 10/10
2. Revolver 10/10
3. Abbey Road 10/10
4. The Beatles 9/10

7. Let it Be 8/10
8. Help! 7/10
9. Debut 7/10
10. Beatles for Sale 7/10
11. A Hard Day’s Night 6/10
12. With The Beatles 5/10
13. Yellow Submarine 4/10
Fun to go on this journey with you
Thank you for coming on it! And I agree!
@@rjisasavage I (along with many others) would also recommend Past Masters Vol. 1 & 2 which has all of their singles - singles weren’t included on albums, so imagine how good that collection is, especially vol 2 later in their career
My personal beatles album ranking for the ones i've fully listened to are
7 yellow submarine
6 let it be
5 revolver
4 abbey road
3 white album
2 sgt pepperonis and sausage brand
1 magical mystery tour
Honorable mentions are
The whiter album
1st street
Let it down
And lastly
Mysterious land adventure
But actually the album love is actually pretty cool
you really have to listen to Rubber Soul. Thats their folky period but they went already a bit creative with the sitar in one song that would lead to the experimental Revolver
Love this ranking!
You should do reactions to some subs music I know jamesxboxgaming has some for instance
@@johnlennon8130 great idea!
@@johnlennon8130 that is a good idea that would be pretty unique I don't think Any reaction channels do that
You pretty much nailed it... this is the weakest Beatles album, but as Woody Allen said about sex, even bad sex is pretty great, and even lesser Beatles is pretty great! My favourite Beatles album is Rubber Soul... the songs on it are full of so many great little musical details, it rewards endless listenings
Thank you for watching! I love the quote!
I me mine is a George Harrison number
Ranking the best to worst
1. Rubber Soul
2. Sgt. Pepper
3. Revolver
4. Magical Mystery Tour
5. Help
6. Abbey Road
7. White album
8. A Hard Day’s Night
9. Let it Be
10. Please Please Me
11. With the Beatles
12. Beatles for Sale
Not counting Yellow submarine
From 1-8 is just about pure perfection. It gets a bit rocky with the last four. I definetly think Abbey Road is overrated. The a side is perfect, but the b side is… just not that memorable. Also I never find myself listening to With the Beatles or Beatles for sale
Man I need to stay clear away from Yellow Submarine it looks like
I feel that Beatles For Sale and Yellow Submarine albums were weaker.
Guess I got to stay away then!
@@rjisasavagebut if you stay away from yellow submarine you won't get to hear hey bulldog
This is definitely not their best album, and was recorded before Abbey Road. This is the only Beatles album produced by Phil Spector, and Paul did not like what he did with it. In 2003, Paul remade the album as "Let It Be... Naked", which rearranges the tracklist and removes ALL of Spector's contributions, mostly the orchestral stuff, since this was a back to basics album. I think you should check it out, on camera or not. This version's title track does have a better guitar solo though.
My ranking of their albums would probably go (from worst to best, excluding Yellow Submarine)
12. Beatles For Sale
11. With The Beatles
10. Please Please Me
9. Help!
8. Let It Be
7. A Hard Day's Night
6. Magical Mystery Tour
5. Abbey Road
4. Sgt. Peppers
3. The White Album
2. Rubber Soul
1. Revolver
Also, if you don't mind, I'd like to recommend an artist for you to react to named Jack Stauber. If you were to start anywhere, I'd recommend his album Pop Food. He also doesn't do copyright claims, so CZcams viewers can watch it! I think you'd like his stuff a lot.
Looking forward to more content!
I love this ranking! Sgt Pepper a little too low for me
Good ranking, though I’d switch Abbey Road & the White Album. Also it’s important to recognize all their singles on the Past Masters series.
For me, The Beatles were a catchy pop band with super-snappy singles, and the odd stunning album track, such as You've Got to Hide Your Love Away and their very firstLP song, I saw Her Standing There...until the release of Rubber Soul, at which point they shot up in my estimation to becoming providers of unequalled musical art and excellence. Personally, my favourite album is Pepper, though I find Revolver more consistently brilliant, and thinking back to the old vinyl on which I got used to them, Abbey Rd stands head and shoulders as the best side 2 ever, ever, EVER! Given that this was *really* their last album, I think the last two tracks would have been the perfect way to bow out: The sincere and deep message of The End...then a gap, and Her Majesty, thus pulling the rug from under their own feet with a jokey ditty and taking any potential risk of seeming pomposity out of the equation. I must admit, mind, that as much as I love the White Album, when it comes to double discs, I have to put Dylan's magnificent Blonde on Blonde ahead of it. Him after going electric and prior to his motorcycle accident, and The Kinks in the late '60s (Village Green Preservation Society and Arthur) are the only acts to break into The Beatles grip on my absolute favourite music.
My thoughts as we went through the album (leaving aside the snippets) -
Two of us - not a classic but a catchy singalong still well worthy of the best band in the world.
Dig a Pony - Not well-liked, even by very many Beatles fans. Therefore I presume it's a guilty pleasure of mine.I love the lines "I roll a stony, well you can imitate anyone you want": a direct and accurate jab at their closest rivals
Across the Universe - BEAUTIFUL, even with/despite of Spector's dabbling.
I Me Mine - Well, it's George. Occasionally he came up with a belter - Here Comes the Sun, Long Long Long, but not here.
Let it Be - Great song, beautiful, wonderful, but one of those (like John's wonderful Imagine) that I've heard waaay too many times to still enjoy as much as I once did.
I've Got a Feeling - the last true Lennon/McCartney composition, and easily my favourite track on this LP.
One After 909 - released on their last (ahem!) released (sorry to repeat myself there) album but written when they were kids and long before they became the Fab Four. It shows and it explains the gap between composition and dragging back out. I think that this is one of their worst ever songs.
The Long and Winding Road - Classic, gorgeous, simply sublime...but better still without Spector, in its Naked form.
For You Blue - See above about George.
Get Back - A rollick, a good-time song, a very enjoyable song, but not what I'd call a classic, and I think it's one of Macca's weaker vocal deliveries. It did come across better still on the rooftop, mind.
Andre, thank you as always good man for the joy of your reactions. Sorry about Magical Mystery Tour being taken down, was it a general thing or your inclusion of the previously banned Strawberry Fields? If it's the latter, can you get around it somehow? And have you ever considered a retrospective musing over my favourite Beatles album, Sgt Pepper?
btw - apropos of nothing whatsoever, I'm in a particularly good mood tonight because the best day of the year for me is happening in small part past the end of our street tomorrow. The Bolton/UK IronMan passes us three times on the cycling leg. I'll be out ALL DAY LONG, cheering and shouting 'em on. I reckon anyone prepared to dive into a lake at 6am to swim 2.4m, then do 112m on a bike, and finish it with a marathon deserves every bit of support (not to mention credit as a super-humanbeing) that they can get.
One last thought when rereading what I said. As many times as I've heard Let it Be and Imagine, I've heard Hey Jude many more times still, and that track remains my favourite ever song by anyone, full stop.
My ranking of Beatles albums: 1. Sgt Pepper, 2. Revolver, 3. Rubber Soul, 4. Abbey Road, 5. A Hard Day's Night, 6. The White Album, 7. Magical Mystery Tour, 8. Help, 9. Let It Be, 10. With the Beatles, 11. Please Please Me, 12. Beatles For Sale. All Beatles albums are excellent or very good, so even no. 12 is a pretty good listen!
Definitely their weakest album in my opinion, but "Across the universe" "I me mine" and "The long and winding road" are the highlights for me.
Probably their worst record since the early years
THANK YOU
You decide this is the lesser album by The Beatles??? Are you crazy? Two of Us, Let It Be, Across the Universe, I Me Mine, Get Back, Long and Winding Road, I’ve Got A Feeling - absolute masterpieces every one of them. A true Beatles fan would not be able to pick a best - they are ALL awesome. Even the songs few people “like” have filled my heart and warmed my home so many times I lost count.
It’s their worst album since the early stuff. By far
When you have a Meh reaction to a Beatles song, this thought flashes into my mind “who the F are you to judge ANY Beatles song?”
I’m just a guy!
