DannyBDec 28, 2006This album equally celebrates the genius of Sir George Martin as it does the subjects themselves. Martin uses inovative arrangements and mixing to create a brand new twist on some of the classics of all time. One listen reinforces how bad music has become since 1972.

Sep 9, 2010If Abbey Road side 2 gave us a ground-breaking 20 minute medley of Beatles magic that was the precursor to the rock "opera" format of studio bands of the late 60's onwards then "Love" is the crowning epitaph.

Love vindicates the Beatles' status as master musicians and conceptualists.

The question of whether anybody would listen to Love more than once if the original Beatles albums were available in equivalent sound quality is a nice one. But it doesn't seem to matter much when you can almost feel the spit flying from John Lennon's mouth during Revolution, or when A Day in the Life's orchestral swell comes surging from the speakers. After all, it's hard to ask questions when your breath has been taken away.

You could figure it as a sop to today's interactive mash-up culture. Or you could say it's just extending the medley-ish, segue-happy ethos of Abbey Road to the band's entire catalog. Really, it's both, and it's bliss.
