Reasons I don't think this is a good review:



1. "This is a band needs no introduction"



Missing the word "that" in this sentence.



2. The review starts of with an obvious introduction to an anti-Beatles rant asking stupid questions with sarcasm.



3. It's a myth that their fanbase was made up entirely of young girls. That's all you see in concert clips because typically girls are the ones that freak out at concerts because they are obsessed with this brand new image that was bestowed upon them. Much like today, men wouldn't be caught going crazy over 4 dudes much less any band. They were content buying the albums and obsessing over them on their own.



4. "The thing they were praised for..."



This is a run-on sentence and poorly worded.



5. The author criticizes the Beatles for being pop star/Celebrities. However the Beatles had avoided this pitfall when they decided to stop touring so they could focus on the actual music and not their image. This is a review of Abbey Road and not Help! so they had achieved this at this time.



6. The Beatles weren't good at their instruments? Just because they didn't focus on shredding or writing complex technical arrangements doesn't mean they weren't good at their insturments.



7. King Crimson released their first album 2 weeks after Abbey Road. So accusing them of ripping off KC is a blatant mistake in the review.



8. You conclude that they have little relevance to anything important today. That alone is the most laughable claim in the review.



I'm not even a fanboy of the Beatles, I just recognize their importance and really like a few of their albums. And in my opinion this is not a good review.

I'm a fanboy but I'm a fanboy because I think the Beatles are that good. Not just to be one. This is a classic album IMO. Did not think the reviewer backed up his points well.

if youre going to be a fucking perfectionist how about checking your own shit before calling someone else on it

because it was a comment, not a review. I think the standards of writing are a little different.



And 6 is a valid argument and I made no reference to the author being a metalhead. Way to get defensive for no reason.

1. "This is a band needs no introduction"

first worthwhile thing you've said, thank you I'll edit it



2. The review starts of with an obvious introduction to an anti-Beatles rant asking stupid questions with sarcasm.
you perceive the sarcasm because you're biased, why can't I bring up points I wish to address without you making preconceived assumptions?



3. It's a myth that their fanbase was made up entirely of young girls. That's all you see in concert clips because typically girls are the ones that freak out at concerts because they are obsessed with this brand new image that was bestowed upon them. Much like today, men wouldn't be caught going crazy over 4 dudes much less any band. They were content buying the albums and obsessing over them on their own.
that's why I had the (men) part....



4. "The thing they were praised for..."



This is a run-on sentence and poorly worded.
yeah probably



5. The author criticizes the Beatles for being pop star/Celebrities. However the Beatles had avoided this pitfall when they decided to stop touring so they could focus on the actual music and not their image. This is a review of Abbey Road and not Help! so they had achieved this at this time.
they stopped touring during Sgt. Pepper, and yes it was to focus on the music, but you missed the point that I was trying to say in the first place so whatever



6. The Beatles weren't good at their instruments? Just because they didn't focus on shredding or writing complex technical arrangements doesn't mean they weren't good at their insturments.
I never said that, I said they weren't good songwriters



7. King Crimson released their first album 2 weeks after Abbey Road. So accusing them of ripping off KC is a blatant mistake in the review.
you're trying really hard aren't you?



8. You conclude that they have little relevance to anything important today. That alone is the most laughable claim in the review.
little worthwhile relevance, this is my perception, get over it



I'm not even a fanboy of the Beatles, I just recognize their importance and really like a few of their albums. And in my opinion this is not a good review.
you recognize their importance because society tells you to, you have no idea how to back that up because you would've done so in the last 6 pages

Not gonna neg, and have only heard this album once, but there are some pretty glaring grammatical errors and stylistic hiccups in there that I would have made sure didn't exist before posting an obviously controversial review ^^

I would like to hear the album that this review is discussing, cause it's certainly not Abbey Road..?
