Magical Mystery Tour by The Beatles

Pros: Some classic tracks, interesting vocals, fantastic arrangements...
Cons: Some misplaced songs, a few bad songs, a few rather purposefully commercial songs...

Many modern pop bands owe a great deal to The Beatles. Be they Blur, The Verve, Semisonic, or Suede there is no question that without The Beatles they would not exist nor would their brand of music be even vaguely popular. The Beatles made harmonies, ...

Pros: Some real masterpieces, strange psychedelic drugged-out stuff alongside commercialized pop. and it's the Beatles
Cons: Only 11 songs

Well, I tried my best to take a break from writing, but I was listening to the Beatles today and I had to once again attempt to express my love for them using only words. I figured I could write the review and not post it, but then I realized if I posted ...

Pros: Contains some unforgettable Beatles classics
Cons: Contains a few to many forgettable throw-away songs

I consider myself fortunate. My first exposure to the Beatles came at a very young age. I started grade school about ten years after the Beatles broke up, but I had a good friend whose parents had never really outgrown the hippie days. Going over to...

Pros: I Am The Walrus, Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane, The Fool On The Hill
Cons: Blue Jay Way

It is the end of 1967, The Beatles are still reaping in from the huge success of their Sgt. Pepper album that was released just six months earlier in June. The Beatles produce six new songs that sound more psychedelic than anything that they have ...

Pros: Beatles at their creative pinnacle, contains several of their best songs
Cons: Incohesive as an album

Magical Mystery Tour (1967) Magical Mystery Tour is probably the Beatles album that I favor more heavily than the average critic. Having discovered The Beatles posthumously, the songs on Magical Mystery Tour are the ones I identify with ...

Pros: The songs! Holy crap, these are wonderful!
Cons: There are no cons, you silly person.

(Disclaimer: Those looking for a brief description of the album will find what their looking for in the "Review Body" section. The section titled "Track Reviews" is meant only for those who want to read detailed descriptions of the songs, and ...

Pros: Three of the songs do everything right
Cons: Some do nothing right

Introduction: My brother, Marc, was a great fan of the Beatles. He was almost nine years older than me, and his music was what I listened to (not always by choice!) when I was a kid. My brother died, suddenly and unexpectedly, on 8/6/2002. Today, ...

Pros: It defies the oxymoron, "intelligent mainstream".
Cons: "Flying".

This is part of spiderkid’s “The First Great British Write Off”. I’m not actually British. I hope that doesn’t matter. ~~~~~ While I ...

Pros: The high-acid tracks, and some sweet songs.
Cons: A few weaker tracks.

One album I've always enjoyed listening to, my third favorite Beatles album, is Magical Mystery Tour. As I knew Sgt. Pepper's would be the first Beatles album I'd ever review the second I'd heard it, and as I knew A Hard Day's Night would be the ...

Pros: Great songs of all different styles from the Beatles.
Cons: None.

Another great album of songs by the Beatles from 1967. Right after the famous Sgt. Pepper album. This album has lots of amazing material on it. From the great title track, to the very interesting Baby You’re A Rich Man, This album is great...

Pros: Some great tracks
Cons: Some not-so-great tracks

This is one Beatles album that I really have mixed feelings about. The overall tone of the album is somewhat dolorous and melancholy, although a few of my favorite Beatle tracks appear here. Magical Mystery Tour, along with Yellow Submarine, represent...

Pros: Well-written songs that hold up through the years
Cons: "The Fool on the Hill"

John Lennon, in an interview, once said this is his favorite album "because it's so weird." That pretty much sums up Magical Mystery Tour -- it's a strange album that contains some of the most innovative rock and roll ever written.
...

Pros: I am the Walrus.
Cons: Very average songs and three clear sell outs

In June 1967 the Beatles released what many consider their best and most revolutionary album, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. This album marked a transition in the Beatles from #1 pop hit machines, to real rock and roll musicians. ...

Pros: Lots of hits and near-hits and just plain fun songs
Cons: Some half-hearted songwriting

This Sgt. Pepper follow-up is less an album than a mini-soundtrack and collection of singles and B-sides. As such, there's no unifying concept, but the psychedelic production held over from the Beatles' last masterpiece is more than enough to...

Pros: Plenty of great songs to start and plenty of all-time classics at the end.
Cons: Not all are new to the album, but 30 years later it seems unimportent

Yes, this album has only six songs exlusive to the CD but unless you back in time when that actually mattered, it's not too importent. The importent, what is importent is the songs and the music....

#1 is a one of my favorties McCartney's...
