Oh, I'm afraid the albums will be perfectly remastered when your friends arrive.
WIN.

Wow, holy shit, felt like a Paul track to me. I still say it sounds totally out-of-place in relation to the rest of the album.
I've never listened to "Old Brown Shoe," but that's what the remasters are for.
It's not that I dislike McCartney all of a sudden, it's more of an understanding that he has such a limited interest in the type of music he wants to pursue (especially when considering his Wings material), and to me, seems afraid to take risks the same way that John, and to some extent, George would. Sure, "Blackbird" is a pretty song, but it doesn't have the soul of a similar John ballad like "Julia," for instance.
You're on a roll.
Though I'd argue at least Baby sounds more psychedelic. There's a lot of weird stuff going on in there.
Do you not put Maxwell's in the old-timey category? Because it sure sounds like it to me. Also, Honey Pie, For No One, and Martha My Dear (which for some reason I like, at least when it picks up halfway through).
"Wild Honey Pie" is one of the worst songs recorded by anyone. It's fucking abysmal, especially considering what didn't make the album.
Ironically, it's the Paul songs like "Penny Lane" and "Hello, Goodbye" that got her disinterested.
There are too many places to take that. All of which I'll regret later. And to think she was close to posting on here a few times.
Anyway, literally everything on Disc 1 after Wild Shitty Pie is fantastic.
I still think her joining here had some serious comedy potential back when the idea was floated.
Did they ever review Let It Be... Naked? I'm looking to get a proper version of that over the remaster of Let It Be.

My favorite part? "Paul McCartney is a smug, charmless fuck."
I may have to reconsider my Pitchfork stance. Of course, it's that fucker who trashed the second Phoenix album, so anything he/she says should be taken with a grain of sale.

I can't even go corporate in two weeks from now.
Apart from the obvious agenda, it's a decent review. Let It Be is probably the one post-Revolver album I'm the least familiar with.
This does a pretty good job of explaining what's so special about The White Album:

Though the same guy said "there's not one duff note" on Abbey Road, and that kind of hyperbole is just unnecessary.
