4 stars The Beatles isnīt a prog band, because progressive music was far from exist in 67, but bands like Frank Zappa or the Beatles made records that were near to this kind of musicc.

"The Beatles" isnīt a concept album, but it smells like it, isnīt a progressive album but many songs are joined and sounds great together. Without looking for the progressive thing , this double album is almost PERFECT. Inside there are the best and the worst beatles songs.

1st Disc Back in the USSR: Great starting, perfect rock, making fun of Beach Boys (8/10) Dear Prudence: This sounds so....near. Out of time. Perfect (10/10) Glass Onion: Another acid song by Lennon. (8/10) Obladi-Oblada: Itīs a good popy song, I skype it most of the times (6/10) Wild Honey Pie: Itīs a joke. Fortunetly, it longs one minute. (1/10) Bungallow Bill: It seems like a Scout Song for children. It is linked with the next song (7/10) Whiler My Guitar Gently Weeps: One of the best Harrison songs. Clapton plays here. (9/10) Hapiness is a Warm Gun: A progressive song, in fact they were three different songs joined. Great (9/10) Martha My Dear: Paul wrote this song for his dog. Enjoyable. Good Strings production (8/10) So Tired: John Lennon in a Lazy Way. It has a good taste. (8/10) BlackBird: A great song by paul (9/10) Piggies:Harrison and his pigs (8/10) Donīt Pass me by: The first Ringo song (5/10) Rocky Racoon: A Western Story (7/10) Why Donīt We do it on the road: Simple but great (7/10) I Will: Another love song (7/10) Julia: Tender (8/10)

2nd Disc Birthday: As in the first album, a good starting (8/10) Yer Blues: Yes i am lonely...wanna die (7/10) Mother Nature Son: Another acoustic number by paul (7/10) Everybody has something to hide...: Good Monkeys (8/10) Sexy Sadie: Another masterpiece by Lennon (9/10) Helter Skelter: The FIRST heavy song (8/10) Long Long Long: shhhhh, the silent song (7/10) Revolution 1: Itīs better the fast one (8/10) Honey Pie: This is the good version of Honey Pie (8/10) Savoy Truffle: A good Harrisong (8/10) Cry Baby Cry: Excelent (9/10) Revolution 9: Horrible (3/10) Good Night: Good night everybody (8/10)

In Balance, if we select the songs with plus 8 mark we will have a 20 songs album, too much songs yet for a simple song. This is the reason because I consider this, the best beatles album. Here they showed that they are great musicians/compose/Producers
