To be more positive, now that I have FINALLY got a good sound setup with my Sonos Play 5 and my Audio Technica AT LP120 as well as all my CDs and vinyls nicely presented in shelves, I'm finally making good on listening to albums I bought a long time ago that I've never listened to. So I span Magical Mystery Tour, which I reckon I bought on one of my America trips, maybe even the first one in 2010.
It's so good! I knew four of the songs on Side B going in, I don't think I'd heard Penny Lane before, and I Am the Walrus. Fool on the Hill is gorgeous, so lovely, and Flying and Blue Jay Way are so interesting, quite different for them I feel... I don't think I can name another Beatles instrumental. Both tracks are so psychedelic and you can hear these influences in a lot of places in modern indie rock, pretty amazing so many years down the line. Blue Jay Way reminded me of being at a music festival and having my bad acid trip, lyrics and music. I find Strawberry Fields a touch overrated, great song, but not in the 0.00000001% best ever I don't think. Hello Goodbye is just lovely, Baby You're a Rich Man is a banger and All You Need is Love is All You Need is Love. The biggest surprise was Penny Lane though, wow, what a wonderful song, the chorus is just gorgeous.
