"the production feels strangely muted"
this is your brain on a lifetime's worth of MTV-grade compressed guitars and a fickle streak for backseating dynamic range commentary

I used to listen in particular to the "happiness is a warm gun" from "across the universe," yuck, and I guess...I guess I thought it was better

Terrible. Fantano was correct

Suspiciously, muted production is not something say, Beggars Banquet from the Rolling Stones, also from this era, suffered from. Or Grateful Dead, or Zeppelin (much as most of their stuff was overplayed), or early Aerosmith, or Rush, or Queen, or King Crimson. It seems to just be this band and the Beach Boys. The drums sound like they're barely being hit half the album.

honestly it's just how damn muted the drums are apart from the more energetic cuts like Helter Skelter or Back In the USSR. Sometimes it works, like "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", it often leads to things feeling samey because whenever i can't latch on emotionally, I'm often looking for singular instrument parts that stand out, especially a good drum performance.
i could do without stuff like ob la di ob la da, savoy truffle, why don't we do it in the road regardless, but some of this sounds almost... TOO mellow and chilled out, to the point where it sounds like nothing's going on, and a more pronounced drum part may have helped those.
plus someone said revolution 9 was scary...maybe by 1968 standards but Sabbath just 2 years later sounded way more haunting.

are you trying to shit on ringo(/paul) for not smacking the snare hard enough
or are you actually trying to make a comment about the way this is recorded and mixed
|
| |
Can't even front a 3 for any Beatles on the basis of drumwork is kinda fair shit

Recorded/mixed. the drums feel really quiet in the mix especially in comparison to the names I named. Helter Skelter's the only one apart from the opener with a significant sense of ENERGY to it. it does what it's supposed to do I'd presume, but I'm just not drawn to it.
