Honestly, if you need to read a review to decide whether or not to give this album a listen, you have much bigger problems in your life than that decision. In this masterpiece, The Beatles somehow transcend their previous rock efforts and set the bar entirely too high for any other band around. The recording process was as eclectic as the cover, with over 700 hours of studio time devoted to making the most experimental and unique rock album at that time. This titan of an album has headed up numerous “Best Rock Album” charts and usually comes out on top as #1 on several. Thousands of reviews have been written in praise of this album, so all I’ll say is be sure you pick up the MONO version; it’s more rockin’ and honestly just sounds better.
