YELLOW SUBMARINE

Ok, this is the worst Beatles album and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Heck, it even features flamin' soundtrack music to the film from a badly performed orchestra that nobody cares about. If it was not a Beatles album it would have disappeared into obscurity. However The Beatles threw in all the songs from the movie saving it from complete oblivion. Best songs are Yellow Submarine, come on you sung it as a child and kids still adore it; Only A Northern Song, a really good tune with inspired lyrics; All You Need Is Love, the showstopper with feel good vibe and unforgettable lyrics; Hey Bulldog, especially that ending where the members start barking like dogs till Lennon tells them to shuttup; and finally All Together Now, with its simplistic lyrics and catchy musical phrases. The rest is rather dismal. Pepperland, Sea Of Time, Sea Of Holes, Sea Of Monsters....... you get the idea. The music is rubbish and who wanted to hear a bunch of soundtrack pieces? The US had the right idea when they replaced all these throwaways with Beatles songs on their version of the album. All the best songs are available on compilations so this is rather an obsolete release, though works as an absurd curio for Beatles fanatics.
