It’s a long album. It’s a strange album. It’s a classic album. It’s the White Album. And it still holds up as an artistically brilliant album today, in an age where almost every artist is experimenting with new things.
The remastered version definitely shows this, as well as showing how seriously the Beatles took this album and the making of it, and, if a listener has a free five hours, they can experience the making and remaking of a legendary piece of music.
OVERALL ALBUM RATING: 8/10
Reasoning: While the album is artistically and culturally important, this five and a half hour re-release would probably only hold the interest of the hardcore Beatles fans. The original album is a must-listen, but I wouldn’t recommend listening to all of the demos unless you are truly invested.
