To me it sounds a little different than what i've heard of the Beatles. But all in all I like it.

This is the album by the Beatles that has a white cover. Thus the album was nicknamed the White Album. Brilliant! The lads really pushed the boundaries of rock on this disc. Ringo even has a go at writing a song! John and Paul write some of their best tunes here. George brings his pal Eric Clapton along for a track. Self penned by George as well! My Guitar Gently Weeps. So, enjoy this and have a laugh with your mates. After all, what better way to spend the afternoon.

The Beatles had a tough time recording this, as Beatles recording engineer Geoff Emerick's book "Here, There and Everywhere" testifies. But, as difficult as the process was, the Beatles, veterans of rock for almost a decade, created an uncompromising double LP. The difference between this album and the previous ones is that, at this point, the Beatles seem to have no desire to impress anyone. They impress me, of course.

Officially the Beatles breakup begins with the legendary Get Back sessions and the filming of the Let it Be movie. But, as the chaotic nature of this album demonstrates, the seeds of the disruption had been sown long before. Though billed as a group effort, this record is largely a collection of solo efforts on the part of the Fab Four. Maybe in hindsight producer George Martin was correct: the White Album should have been edited into a single cohesive body of work. But, would that even have been possible given that it would be hard to choose what would make the final cut? John Lennon emerges out of McCartney's shadow to become the undisputed star of this album. With the exception of "Revolution 9" his output is stellar: "Dear Prudence," "Happiness is A Warm Gun," "I'm So Tired," "Julia": a haunting tribute to his late mother, the cynical "Yer Blues," "Everybody's Got Something to Hide. . .," "Revolution 1" and Cry, Baby, Cry" are all indicative of the eclectic direction his subsequent solo career would take. McCartney also offers some adumbration of his solo career with his contributions to this record: "Blackbird," "Rocky Racoon," "Why Don't We Do it in the Road?," "I Will," "Mother Nature's Son" and "Helter Skelter" are his best among the lot. George Harrison manages four songs on this record, his most significant contribution to a Beatles album yet, with "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" emerging as his best song to that point and, arguably, his masterpiece. Ringo finally gets to contribute an original composition as well: the lazy country rock ballad, "Don't Pass Me By" which would become a staple of his later career solo concerts. The genuine group collaborations: "Back in the USSR," "Bungalow Bill," and "Birthday" are present but, with the exception of "USSR," are all but buried under the individual efforts. This album is also significant as a reflection of the chaos that was threatening to overwhelm society at the time. The record was released in the fall of 1968, a year of political and social turmoil. Perhaps it is fitting that the band that helped to usher in the 60s generation should fall apart along with it.

The White album shows the extent of the Beatles musical reach. Lennon showed he could write amazing ballads with "Julia". McCartney pulls the ultimate rocker song in "Helter Skelter". Revolution 9 is pure experimental genius. No one could ever put together another grouping of 30 songs greater than this, the White album!

I agree, this is an ABSOLUTE must-have for any music lover of this genre. It has absolutely AMAZING songs. But half of them should have been cut out! Have of this whole album just isn't really awesome. If only The Beatles had listened to George Martin and cut it down to one album, I would love it even more. Becuase it would be much cheaper. But still, this is an absolute must have, buy it NOW. It is really worth it. You'll absolute love it! While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Blackpird, Honey Pie, Birthday, well, ALL are pretty good! (Unless they are those short little 'John' ones). Should have been shortened!

The Beatles Later Albums Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Peppers, and Abbey Road all seem to be more a whole album rather than a collection of singles, like their early work. However, the White Album is the same as their first stuff. The first three or four times I listened to this album, I though, "Wow I really wasted my money." However, this album grew on me. Songs which at first were annoying like Helter Skelter and Happiness is a Warm Gun, suddenly became favorites because they come after easy to follow favorites of Sexy Sadie and While My Guitar Gently Weeps. Don't get me wrong, you will not like every song on this album because many are meant to push the limits of what is and isn't acceptable. This album has a large range of a Beach Boys parody in Back in the USSR, to some of their most touching music in Blackbird and Mother Natures Son, to the harshness of Helter Skelter, to the Avant Garde freeness of Revolution 9. This album, although is very diverse, proves to be a favorite for most Beatles fans for a reason.

My first impression of the White Album was rather mild. I bought the CD about the same time that I discovered the Beatles' later works. My father had been a big Beatles fan, and as a result I came to love them at a young age. However, he's always preferred their earlier works, so those were the ones that we mostly listened to. When I started listening to their later music, I instantly fell in love, and my reaction was to buy their later albums. After I bought the album, I listened to it for about 40 minutes and then threw it in the bottom of my drawer. There was something about the album that didn't impress me. For about three years the CD remained in my drawer with packets of papers and magazines piled on top of it. I soon forgot about the White Album and listened to the other Beatle albums instead. Then, about seven months ago, I took the album out and decided to give it another try. After listening to the album in its entirety, I realized how amazing it really is. Every song is unique, and the album itself is an array of different types of music. Only the Beatles could record an album with such a mosaic of musical genres. Everything about the album is beautiful and in a way simplistic. It's no wonder that it's considered one of the greatest albums ever made.

I've listened to this album since 1968 - first on vinyl and now on CD - mp3. I never get tired of it. One of the most awesome albums every produced. It's hard to believe some of their music was produced with 4 and 8 track machines.

This album is a true masterpiece. So many classic songs came off this album it's amazing: Back in the U.S.S.R., Birthday, Helter Skelter; the list goes on and on. In fact, every song on this record is a timeless classic. Go buy it, you'll be happy you did!

This may be the greatest album ever made. 30 songs with very little time to breathe. Dear Prudence and Glass Onion are the best songs that I never had heard before. The sarcasm in Glass Onion is classic. The best songs on the record is the uplifting Blackbird, and the hard-rocking Helter Skelter. Helter Skelter took me by surprise. I never knew that the Beatles could rock that hard. This is what music "should" be.

One of the most prominent of the Beatles, a lyrically diverse soundtrack which blows your mind away with everything from blues to hard rock. The Lennon and Harrison songs are some of their best. Favorite Tracks: Glass Onion, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Happiness is A Warm Gun, Rocky Racoon, Don't Pass Me By, Yer Blues, Sexy Sadie, Savoy Truffle, and Revolution 9.

By 1968, The Beatles were at the height of their collective and individual creative powers. "The Beatles" - better known as the so-called "White Album" - is a timeless keepsake of their genius. And every niche is explored with depth and unbelievable skill, including hard rock ("Helter Skelter"), country ("Rocky Raccoon"), blues ("Why Don't We Do It In The Road") and the genre-defying "Revolution 9." There is sonic beauty ("Julia," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and "Blackbird") that is fused with great lyrical depth and epic song craft. Stranded on a desert island and you only get to take along one CD? This is the one.

If I could, I'd give it six stars! This ranks up there with my favorites. From the drive of "Back in the USSR" to the obscurity of "Glass Onion", the White Album is the epitome of musical variety and shows creativity at it's best. In this album, Paul got to flex his rock and roll muscles with "Helter Skelter" and John showed his soft side with "Julia"... both stepping out of their stereotypical characters (Paul being the softy who writes the love songs and John being more hard-core writing more rock and rollish type music.) This is an album of great contrast, which gives it character and personality. This album is in a class of it's own. Give it a try... I think you may be impressed.

All Music Guide - Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Each song on the sprawling double album The Beatles is an entity to itself, as the band touches on anything and everything it can. This makes for a frustratingly scattershot record or a singularly gripping musical experience, depending on your view, but what makes the so-called White Album interesting is its mess. Never before had a rock record been so self-reflective, or so ironic; the Beach Boys send-up "Back in the U.S.S.R." and the British blooze parody "Yer Blues" are delivered straight-faced, so it's never clear if these are affectionate tributes or wicked satires. Lennon turns in two of his best ballads with "Dear Prudence" and "Julia"; scours the Abbey ...
