4.3/5
Yes, on first listen I find this more entertaining and want to revisit it just the slightest bit more than Pet Sounds. Very wacky, beautiful album. Going to sit with it awhile before I move on to The Smile Sessions. I gotta say this is one of those records that seems to work best for me as a whole, in one listen - that's to say my favorite tracks are below but EVERYTHING here is novel and enjoyable

Magical Mystery Tour
(2/21)
1967
Favorite Beatles so far. First time I've thoroughly enjoyed one from front to back. baby, you're a rich man is a bit of a sore spot but otherwise I love this - Sgt. Pepper was great in its own ways, but seemed to get sidetracked by a lot of zany experiments. This corrals the zaniness into a pop-rock formula which is just pure fun to listen to.
4.3/5
The Fool On The Hill, Flying, Hello Goodbye [so thats where they get their name from], Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane |
| 61 |  | The Beach Boys
Friends

The Beatles
(2/24)
1968
With so much on display there's bound to be a couple stinkers so it's hard to give this a solid 5/5, yet I think anyone on the planet can find at least 30 minutes of excellent music here. For me Disc 2 isn't as strong as Disc 1, but it's clear as day the influence this record had on music.
4.5/5
Good Night, Revolution 1, Helter Skelter, Julia, I Will, Rocky Raccoon, Blackbird, Piggies, The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill, Ob-la-di Ob-la-da, Dear Prudence |

Donkey Show, Mosquito, Pure Mode, Maria |
| 69 |  | Asleep Country
Fake Opulent
(3/3)
2023
A 3 hour sound collage that keeps my interest piqued with it's melodies and loose themes is no small feat, but at the end of the day it's still a 3 hour sound collage. That said, there is no denying the care and mastery that went into this. Will probably be talked about in the future by many as an important part of plunderphonics in the digital age or some shit
3.4/5
Covert Steelworks - Looted Jewels, Comedy Of Hand Sleights, Heaven knows it's got to be this time |
