Feb 18, 2012Love is a brilliant album which takes the classic Beatles tracks and make them gel into a seamless flow of music. New energy is brought to old tracks without tampering with what made them so exceptional in the first place. When you listen to it you are reminded of just how diverse and inventive the Beatles really were.

Feb 9, 2016Listening to Love, I get the same feeling as if someone is caressing my skin. It's inexplicably beautiful. I love the way they mixed the songs. The remix of Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite! is outstanding. 100% recommended.

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.
