Full review
The cover has become the most famous design gimmick in rock history, famously aped in Spinal Tap (an all black over), the White Album, as it has become known, is at times ramshackle, untidy and occasionally very wierd (John). At other times you find yourself basking in beautiful melodies by Paul(Blackbird) and introspective lyrics by George(While my Guitar gently Weeps), to be suddenly awoken by a screaming rocker from John (Everybodys got Something to Hide). You'll find no constructed theme aka Abbey Road and Sgt Pepper here, but individual comments on their contemporary state of minds. Pauls voice reaches it's peak in Why Don't we Do It in the Road?, John gets seriously experimental in Revolution 9, George is really saying something here and Ringo, well he's basically Ringo. Timeless album.
