2 stars This album doesn't work as an album. There is too much material for a double album. It's been made by hurry and they even don't play very well together. This is more like a demo album than final version. This is an album made by a tired band. You can hear it. They are not enjoying playing, they are bored, like 'let's play this song and then we can go home'!

Whole band is lost, they are looking new direction but they don't know were to go, what to do. They are trying this and that, but the clue is missing. The biggest mistake is that they made it double. Perhaps everything they recorded was included. One great album would be made of this material, but not a great double album, not even a good double album. There are many great songs in this album but many poor ones too.

Some ideas didn't work, simple as that. That's why I donīt think that this White Album is one of the best Beatles album. It is very overrated album, even the members of the band were not very pleased to this album. Paul said once. Well, but anyway, it is a Beatles album!
