You got lots of views on this video, that’s no coincidence. This is the greatest band of all time. Listen to more of The Beatles. Don’t let these comments change you, keep your reactions pure and genuine; however try to keep an open mind. I’d recommend you listen to the white album next.
Thank you. It was my first attempt to broaden my musical horizon and I’m glad you didn’t take it to heart. Definitely caught myself singing some of these songs as days have progressed
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w Hey man! I would say music like the late beatles require more listening "experience" prior than most music usually requires. It doesn't mean that music that doesn't require musical experience beforehand is any worse for it, but truly timeless music has to be in some way challenging for the listener to stay timeless. But since that music is challenging you might not like it (or realize it's "greatness") on that first listen. But trust me, when you've learned to embrace the challenge of the music you're listening to by listening to more music of different genres and influences, it makes listening to music and truly engaging with it much more rewarding. (Doesn't only apply to The Beatles, ask the average person to listen to Yeezus and see how many people like it on the first listen...) There's a reason why we remember The Beatles and not some random pop band from the same time as them. It's because they challenge the listener, not just give them what they want to hear.
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w sorry about the comments too! but haha i will admit it caught me a bit off guard too when you said "not a lot happened" in come together haha
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1wThe Beatles did to modern music what Copernicus did to astronomy. But is it really that fascinating to learn about the Earth revolving around the Sun for someone born to this knowledge? As I love The Beatles, I don't really like this cult approach. You are innocent, arrogant, unapologetic, just as fresh youngster should be. Important part is you are open to explore and ONLY that matters. If John, Paul, George and Ringo would be modest none of the magic would have happened.
“Movement” is exactly what modern music lacks. You rarely hear a middle 8, key change, non diatonic chord or a time signature change in a modern chart song. Abbey Road is absolutely full of them. Whether you like it or not, it’s an album packed with masterful writing and creativity. Hopefully as your knowledge of music increases you’ll revisit it one day with a different perspective
I was thinking the same exact thing. He "thinks" there was no movement? I never thought I would hear someone say that about The Beatles' music. Just wow. Today''s music lacks a lot of things that music of the past had. It is the opposite of what he said.
You think what is happening here is that you are critiquing an iconic Beatles album… actually, what is happening is that people are looking at your reaction and wondering about your lack of music sensibility. The Beatles are not on trial here, you are.
Thank you. I already started to despair. After your response I realized it's just that he is immune to great music. Let him go back to Billy Eilish and such. I am quitting.
I love that he kept trying to make sense of lyrics. It’s not about the words. Sometimes word can be used like a music instrument. You combine them to make a sound, am abstract impression. It requires your imagination to make it work.
this is the second so-called music producer I've come across doing reactions who has never listened to the Beatles.... God help us. He managed to listen to Come Together (book shop music) Something and I Want You and didn't notice the amazing bass for instance. After enduring this I realised he doesn't actually know how to listen to music. This was agonizing and every time he said something he revealed more of his inability to know what he is saying. He's said he will review more Beatles but I sure won't be watching.
I don’t want to criticize too harshly… he’s young, and we have all discovered new music at some point and didn’t understand it and wanted to voice our opinion. We’ve been in his shoes at much earlier points in time and not been able to embarrass ourselves to the world via the internet simply because these forms of media didn’t exist; otherwise we would have capitalized on them just like he’s doing. We were just fortunate enough not to speak our thoughts publicly or we would have sounded ignorant/arrogant too. But at least he’s trying. Let’s give him a shot to get it. I hated the dead for twenty years and now I “get it.” Beauty takes time
Very painful...filler? He doesn't realize it's an album to be played in one sitting! His comments on the mix are horrible and are completely uninformed.
@@MookCahill I agree. At the same time he records himself and flaunts how much he doesn't understand or know, choosing to embarras himself. He could've just put on some music in his home and relaxed and tried to get to grips with the new music like all of have done.
I’m watching this right now, and I’m gen Z and a bit younger than you, and I’m a really big fan of The Beatles, and no disrespect to you at all for your opinions, everyone has different tastes in music, I would recommend listening to some of their other albums as well. They’re a pretty big part of music history and have done some pretty interesting things with their songs!
@@Scaar81 He wasn't really listening. He was reacting for the camera. He was completely distracted from start to end. Fidgeting. Short attention span. He wasn't listening.
Uffh, bro. this was a brutal watch. You REALLY need to expand your musical diet lmao. This feels like watching someone who’s only ever eaten McDobalds have a meal that Gordon Ramsay personally made for them, and just they react with indifference and apathy lmao. I’m not a dork either, I don’t think there’s anything inherently better about “old” music when compared to new stuff, but lord, dude, Uffh. If you listen to Abbey Road and don’t immediately have a life-changing epiphany you might not be from this planet. No hate though you seem like a chill guy 🙏
If you listen to most songs on Abbey Road, they sound basic, besides I want You(She So Heavy) which is the only realy progressive song on the album, the album sounds like a standard 70s rock album. The medley is filled with unfinished tracks molded together be the band to make a musically connected side two, even Paul McCartney himself said the songs were filler, made from ild scraps of past songs from 65-68, watch the Get Back Serious, the songs were originally meant for the roof top concert, but were still unfinished at that point. Abbey Road is not their best album, its a great album, but I could see why people now a days wouldn’t bat an eye at it, times have changed, The Beatles are not number 1 no more, grow up with that fact
@@paranoidplane9799 Your own opinion buddy. I would say Led Zeppelin has the best discography, but you clearly don’t agree, seeing as you said The Beatles
I guess I'm older genz (98) and my parents and I are all classically trained musicians. we all have varied music tastes (I won't say "I listen to everything" but it's quite varied.) this album is a required listening along with dark side of the moon, zeppelin 4, Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East, etc. we carry the torch.
Funny enough, The Monkees were dope by the time they were taking psychedelics and making the Head movie and soundtrack. Even Frank Zappa was a fan of them.
Those are not filler songs. The songs on the second half of the album were made deliberately to fade into one another to be a medley so they are shorter. They are meant to be listened to without pausing. You should listen to some of their other very popular albums! Revolver is my personal favorite (very experimental sounds that I think you would enjoy as a producer) , but Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (considered to be one of the first concept albums) is probably their most iconic next to Abbey Road. Either of these albums would be a good next step for your Beatles journey!
FYI - "Heavy" was a slang term for serious. Serious in a good way. Think of it as she's so fly, she's so bad, she's so cool, she's so hot, she's so dope, she's so (insert slang term of whatever generation you are part of). It does NOT refer to her weight LMAO!
All of the band members sang lead on different songs. Usually whoever wrote the song, sang the lead. Re: the panning. This was still pretty early in the days of stereo mixing and a lot of albums from this time period hard panned everything...because they could I guess? lol. A lot of Beatles purists prefer the mono mixes of their albums. But as a musician myself, the stereo mix makes figuring out the parts so much easier! The 'tempo' changes in I Want You (She's So heavy) aren't actually tempo changes, they are switching between regular time and half time. The synth they used on this album (one of the first Moogs) was pretty much a brand new thing. There were a couple of albums out there that were only synth (Switched-On Bach for example) but people weren't really using them on pop albums yet. They definitely smoked pot and experimented with LSD, but for the most part they avoided it in the studio. An important thing to note was that this album was recorded on only 8 tracks. There was no copying and pasting like in today's DAW's. So in a lot of cases they recorded the whole band live on 5 or 6 tracks which left 2 or 3 for vocals and any overdubs. Prior to this album, they were recording their albums on only 4 tracks! Think about that. As a producer, think of how limiting making a song on just 4 tracks would be. This album was their swan song. The recording of their previous album had been a bit of disaster internally for the band with lots of arguments, people quitting the band and coming back etc. A couple of months after that experience I think they all sensed that the end was near and they decided that they wanted to do one last album like they used to and brought back their old producer (George martin) to keep them focused and in line. Album suggestions: If you want to do another Beatles album, it would interesting to go back a bit to Sgt. Pepper's Other bands albums: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon is often regarded as one of the best albums ever made. Rolling Stones: The Beatles main 'competitor' of sorts. Sticky Fingers or Let It Bleed would be a good place to start. Good stuff: Marvin Gaye - ‘What’s Going On’, The Beach Boys - ‘Pet Sounds’, Stevie Wonder - Innervisions, Bob Marley - Exodus, Radiohead - OK Computer, Miles Davis - Kind of Blue. Alright. I'll stop lol. Good luck in your musical history adventure. I was about your age when I starting thinking about the music that came before what I was listening to in the now. If you are a music lover, it's an amazing never-ending trip. Enjoy it!
"What's it for?". It's music, you listen to it, let it soak into you, let it carry you somewhere else, let it trigger emotions, memories, ideas, etc. It takes a while to adjust and appreciate music from a different time but it's worth the time and attention. Many of the lyrics on this album, e.g. Come Together, are surreal or nonsensical to spark random associations, get the imagination working; others are poetic, for those that can appreciate it. If you're not familiar with 60's & 70's musical dreamscapes, check out some Pink Floyd.
Some of your questions answered: -The hard pan is just a remaster's thing. When Beatles recorded, there was no Stereo audio (every fan hates it, if your earphone is half-side broken, you can't enjoy at all) - Yes, they're rock -The outro of I Want You (She's So Heavy) is intended to be like an eternal noise and tension creator to feel the impact when the change to Here Comes The Sun occurs (back in the day, the vinyl didn't allow to see when the music changed) -Octopus Garden is meant to be a children's song, sung and written by the drummer -The "Something" in Batman is the Nirvana's one (Nevermind album, must hear) -All the four members sing, each one their own songs. The two main singers and composers were John Lennon and Paul McCartney -The non-sense lyrics came from a era that all the songs were about platonic love, so to make something interesting, you should make something different (they got that from Bob Dylan): "The only thing a song should do is be entertaining" - Paul McCartney - The spanish section in Sun King is just non-sense lol -The "Filler Songs" were ruined by the dynamic of pausing every song ending. It's known as "The Long One", a big 16 minutes medley, like one big song; a event that only works if you hear them with no pause between the tunes (give it another try sometime) - Besides there's no Stereo, the Beatles literally created lots and lots of studio technics that we still uses today, like Loops, Auto-Double Tracks, 16 Track Machines (when their started their career, they could only use 4 tracks PER SONG, so they INVENTED NEW MACHINES), reverse recordings, organic noises etc. - This was the last album that they recorded as a group. "The End" hits very hard. - Her Majesty was intended to be in the middle of the medley, but changed in the final minute - Yes, they used lots of drugs That being said, nice video, man. I'm a gen Z as well and an amateur music producer, but I grew kinda incapsulated listening to only Beatles almost my entire childhood (not a common thing here in Brazil), so it's nice to see other points of views. As a suggestion, if you wanna see the real pioneering projects of them, you could react to either "Revolver" or "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band". The first one, my favorite album of them, and the second one, the most important album in history of modern music and the most selling album of the 60's (not me saying, it's the critics). If you want to expand the horizon, I couldn't recommend anything less than Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side Of The Moon" (that I think would blow your mind). have a nice day :)
Well said. This was definitely not the album for him to start with. It doesn't seem like he's going to be able to appreciate the stuff, but you gave him a great suggestion. Sometimes it takes people a while to tune their ears to organic music.
None of this is “filler.” Each song and style conveys something in its style, or its lyrics or its instrumentation that they believed was important to share. Most Beatles fans rank this as one of their top 2 or 3 Beatles albums.
I love this album and I can understand someone not liking it at first, I understand your reaction, just make sure this is not the last time you hear this or other beatles albuns
This was their last album and was their goodbye. It is the best curtain call of all time. The second side is intended to be a medley, an encore and a bow. They were not so much a product of their time as much as one of the main architects of the time. They trapeze effortlessly from genre to genre and even invented some along the way. Mostly, it was from a time when artists played their own instruments, sang without autotune, had imagination and didn't have to rely on a computer to pronounce a word. Having said that, I appreciate your honesty and taking the time to listen to an album from 1969. When you've had a chance to delve into other music from that time and acclimatize to the mood of the time, you may 'get it'. The fact that you're even listening to it 55 years after it topped the charts must mean something. I often wonder whether anyone would bother with the music you prefer 55 years from now? Maybe. But I would feel comfortable positing that 'Abbey Road' will be.
Dude, you should watch "Call Me Caroline" 's review of Abbey Road. She's about the same age as you, perhaps a year or two older, but unlike you, seems to enjoy music overall more than you. She doesn't ask, "What is music for?" Anyway, you would learn a lot from her. She notices little things like guitars, bass, voice, keyboards, melody, etc.
But they are two different people lmao, one is a artist, while one here is a “producer” you can’t tell me you just compared them because of their age, cmon dude, grow up, he enjoys music just as much as her, just not the same type of music. Lmao
You need to keep doing reactions to Beatles albums, I'm from generation Z too and I can tell you that they are the biggest band ever and don't take my word for it, just google which is the biggest band of all time, Abbey Road was their last album and they left a huge legacy with it.
There's no "filler" on this album. Side 1 was to please John who wanted a more straight forward rock n' roll sound, and side 2 was for Paul, which is why it's all connected with the exception of Here Comes The Sun.
Just to give you a slight clue about music and stuff, that second track (Something) that was “a bit better” has been feted as the best love song ever written. But hey. Maxwell - best not to talk through lyrics. Octopuses (octopi) do actually make gardens by arranging rocks and shells. It is a thing. “Heavy” in context means intense. “Three minutes of music! Oh my god!” Short attention span, eh? I don’t think you’re getting it, man. Never mind.
Bro getting murdered in the comments. Hilarious. Anyway, She's so Heavy is considered the first Doom Metal song, a subgenre of heavy metal that didn't really become popular until the 80's. You got one thing right about the Beatles, they were highly influential and pioneered new sounds.
I Want You (She's So Heavy) was one of the experimental tracks on the album. That big build-up at the end was John Lennon's (rhythm guitar, vocals) idea. George Harrison's (lead guitar, backing vocals) Moog synthesizer they used on the album had the ability to generate a disturbing wave of white noise, and the point of that build-up was to create something rather Avant-garde or "experimental", the likes of which had never been heard on a mainstream record before. So they incorporated the white noise to give it that dramatic feel. It also closed side one of the album, right before the record stops and the listener had to flip it over to continue listening. It was a pretty clever way to end the first half, and speaks volumes about what the status quo was back in 1969. No one had done anything like it before, at least not on a commercial scale.
Going forward I would be careful how you review music- these are songs that generations of people and many fellow musicians have said is some of the best music ever made. And some of the best lyrics. That is not a typo. I would try to "get" why that is. Some friendly advice before you get down the road too far.
Imagine not knowing about Something and not recognizing Kurt Cobain's voice on Something in the Way to the point of not being able to tell them apart. C'mon man, we're not talking deeply obscure music here, it's Beatles and Nirvana for Christ sake
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w So, this song is 27 years old - is that Gen Z music? lt's certainly catchy - that's why it was a worldwide hit, but there's no light and shade - it's all in one tempo with a simple chord structure. On top of that Rick Astley played no part in the writing or playing of this record. You may say that isn't important, but if you're just a cog in the production line of Stock Aitken Waterman you can hardly be expected to inject much artistry into the music.
@@billythedog-309 th-cam.com/video/gJ1f6oKYqeQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8g4vVXe7-_-JwORY here’s a dude about my age (25) making some absolutely phenomenal progressive rock. I hate this narrative that new music isn’t as good or music sucks now. I absolutely love the Beatles but it’s just ignorant to sit back and say nobody makes music like this anymore. Of course, no other band will ever be as prolific and revolutionary as the Beatles but there’s absolutely artists carrying on the legacy and pushing the foundation that The Beatles set on albums like Abbey Road
@@aesthetic4829 l agree it's foolish to make sweeping generalisations about anything from a position of ignorance. l'm not the audience this is aimed at, so my opinion is worth little, but from my perspective this piece lacks melody, which is a big part of what l look for in a piece of music.
Abbey Road is one of the most iconic and creative albums of all time. Everybody can have their own opinions, but man, you threw it away with both hands...
"I Want You, She's So Heavy"... cuts off like that because they just played until the tape ran out. They were pioneers in sound manipulation, studio tricks and pretty much wrote the book on all of the things you learn about producing and recording.
Hi, Relax a little and just enjoy their work. Things were very different in the studio those days. Also learn to flow with the sound you are thinking too much.
I’m a millennial, and this reminds me of all the times I tried introducing my peers to The Beatles, Syd Barrett, and lots of other 60’s and 70’s classics, just to have them react with total indifference at best. 😭 This comments section makes me feel heard. lol
The best way to understand this album is that side 1 has a collection of individual songs but Side 2 is meant to be one extended piece of related musical sections (songs) like a symphony is. Each “song” introduces a different philosophical concept and different musical style and they lead from one to the next. They were labeled as songs because that is way the music media could understand it. We always listened to Side 2 as one piece of music, uninterrupted. Lyrics are symbolic about growing, changing , and often refer to themes about the stages of life or were like lines in poems.
As a Gen Z Beatles superfan/disciple/acolyte/what have you, rest assured, there are many more like me in my generation. We're a diverse group of folks.
@@MrKeychange Woah, you never been in a group have you, most gen z people, have heard the beatles, but don’t care, I am a beatles fan, but seeing people gang up on this dude, who didn’t even hate the album, gave most of the songs over a 7 seem to miss the point of music, music is not about everyone liking the same thing because they were influential, or popular, but it’s subjective, if you guys can’t handle him not being interested in the album, then stop watching reaction videos, you get what you come for and leave, don’t go complaining about how he barely acknowledge the music, he probably just doesn’t you know… find it interesting as you would. This is must be how kids felt in the 60s when their parents said old music was better, maybe you know, time is repeating itself lol
@@rocknroll5941 I've not only been in groups, I've worked with John's friends. This video is essentially hating on something for clicks. If I made reaction videos to rap and realized I hated something, why would I take the time to make fun of it as it plays, edit and release it to an audience who loves it? I'd get clicks and a lot of hate engagement,. I don't think you understand trolling.
To get more background on why each song on this album is considered classic or iconic, sometimes groundbreaking or revolutionary, you can look up background on each one. Example for I Want You/She’s So Heavy: “…begins in 6/8 time, with an arpeggio guitar theme in D minor, progressing through E7(♭9) and B♭7 before cadencing on an A augmented chord. In this chord sequence, the F note is a drone. The bass and lead guitar ascend and descend with a riff derived from the D minor scale. As the last chord fades, a verse begins in 4/4 time, based on the A and D blues scales, with Lennon singing "I want you / I want you so bad ..." The two blues verses alternate, before the reappearance of the E7(♭9) chord, and McCartney playing a notably aggressive bass riff. That functions as a transition to the main theme throughout the song. The main theme repeats with Lennon singing "She's so heavy", with a long sustain on the last word. The second set of verses are rendered instrumentally with lead guitar. Another repeat of the "She's So Heavy" theme (this time featuring harmonies) is followed by Lennon singing a livelier repeat of the "I Want You" verse. During the next E7(♭9) transition, Lennon screams "Yeah", until his voice breaks. The song's coda consists of a three-minute repetition of the "She's So Heavy" theme, with the arpeggios double tracked, intensifying with "white noise" fading in as the theme continues, which consists of multi-tracked guitars from Lennon and George Harrison, Moog white-noise from Lennon, and drums and bass from Ringo Starr and McCartney respectively. In the middle of the 15th repetition of the theme, the song abruptly ends.”
The record producer was George Martin, sometimes called the 5th Beatles, who was considered one of the world’s most famous producers, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1996 and won numerous Grammys and many awards in his career. He had been a music producer for classical records, for film, tv and live performances. His knowledge of music theory and composition was extensive, and he encouraged the Beatles to experiment with new techniques, and expand their range.
Lost ten points for wearing headphones over your hoodie; subtleties of the music are lost, though I'm not sure you'd catch them anyway. This is music you're listening to, not just beats. Let the music wash over you and tickle it's way past your eardrums. Learn to feel it, even if you don't really like it. Then you can talk about it. Nice way to Rick Roll by the way. Is this whole thing just a joke?
Reacting to a reactor. First, your reaction is honest & not scripted. Your generation has a low attention span. Instant gratification. LP’s are a little out of your safe space.
I was 17 years old in 1988 when I discovered the Beatles--but even at that young age I understood what they were doing with their music and their genius was immediately apparent. I am absolutely shocked at how underwhelmed this young man was by this album in particular and the Beatles in general.
Looking back, it was like tasting sauerkraut. Not that I owe anyone an explanation, but their music to me is an acquired taste. Some songs I liked more than others, but some were just not it. And it has nothing to do with me being GenZ, I know a lot small minded individuals like to jump the band wagon and blame it on that. I absolutely enjoy music from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. But at the time of this video, it was hard for me to see how these guys stood out musically but overtime Ive started to recognize their music more and more. Thanks for watching.
"Why does it cut off" That song was the last one on the A side of the vinyl. Idea being you flip it, expecting something similar and you get hit with Here Comes The Sun.
There were four different lead singers on of the first five songs. First was John. Second was George. Third and fourth was Paul. Ringo (the drummer) sang lead vocal on Octopuses Garden.
One of my first album purchases back in 1969. I was in 8th grade. Epic! Love their hair! yes we didn't care what the lyrics were or what they meant. We just loved the music!
I think you’d appreciate their older stuff, their first few albums. As you mentioned you like a lot of movement, their first few albums had a lot of upbeat songs. As for lyrics, I wouldn’t read much into them. They pretty much came from a lot of their own personal experiences and historical context so unless you don’t know much about that sort of thing, the lyrics themselves won’t make much sense. As for the last few songs, they were originally set as one long song. I don’t know why they were separated like that but that’s probably why you thought they were filler. Overall pretty good reaction. I encourage you to do more. The Beatles are labeled as being a rock band, but they incorporated a lot of different genres so none of their songs sound the same.
Bruv. Sorry but you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Your opinion. OK. Do us a favour, keep it to yourself. Beatles fans,and there are millions of us, will not allow disrespect for the greatest band,and the 2 composers of the 20th century . 🏴
The word “heavy” was commonly used in that time to mean something was emotionally or philosophically deep, or was profound, or important, or complex. Like you had to get heavily into it, in order to understand it. Written mostly by John Lennon, it refers to his relationship with Yoko Ono, who he considered to be a very deep artist and unusual human being. In the movie Back to the Future, Marty uses it frequently to mean something is really important or impressive or amazing or critical.
This might already have been mentioned, but I haven’t gone through all the comments. But the Beatles had never used a Moog synthesizer until this album. So they were actually learning that synthesizer as they were using it on some of the songs. It was one of the first synthesizers, maybe even the first. Many musicians around that time or first learning to use it and I found it interesting to hear some of the sounds that they were coming out with. Emerson, Lake & Palmer used it on lucky man and other vans started using it, including the Monkees and the Moody blues as well. As someone mentioned earlier, the Beatles did a lot of experimentation with their music. A lot of bands were influenced by the Beatles music, and if you ask band members, singers, musicians, and others who they were influenced by a lot of them will say the Beatles. So I would say, don’t be too harsh on them but listen with an open ear and an open mind. Not everyone is going to like the same thing. I grew up with the Beatles music. I’m 69 years old. They have always been my favorite band, even though I have liked a lot of other bands. even though some bands and musicians, producers will say that they were influenced by the Beatles. I doubt that it means they were their favorite band. But I think the Beatles brought rock ‘n’ roll into a different era and they crossed genres as well. not everyone will like the same thing. That makes life interesting.
My 18 year old Grandson got into collecting records (hate calling them "vinyls") about a year ago. He collects a mix of current music along with grampa's style music. Abbey Road was the first Beatles album he wanted. The reactor might have to listen to more variety from the era to get a grasp on the variety of music that is offered from the time.
At 5:30 the song from the batman is "Something in the way" by nirvana. Also i think you're just accustomed to hearing a lot of noise in songs, especially beats. Mostly because of brain rot and like instant gratification. Its not for everyone, but there is a reason they're considered one of the best bands of all time.
Millennial with a bunch of Gen z friends here. Keep doing your thing! I didn’t agree with you half the time but it was so fun listening to your reaction.
That is so true! This album was meant to be listened to from beginning to end without stopping. In fact, most of their albums from Rubber Soul on was meant to be played like that, I think. Anytime I hear a Beatles song, I know which song is next, even if it’s not played. Every song on these albums were played on the radio a million times. Every song! We knew every lyric. I’m 67 yrs old. I can’t remember why I went into the kitchen….but I remember every lyric of Beatles songs…and all other songs of that era! LOL. 😊
so beatles songs are in mono and this is cause i learned their producer george martin was deaf in one ear so he had to produce everything in mono so that's why beatles songs may sound a bit unique
Ha ha ha. That's brilliant. A single-sided deaf audio producer......As common as a one-legged footballer. You would have thought they'd employ someone with at least two functioning ears!
This album isn’t in mono, it’s in stereo. And you’re confusing George Martin for Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. And mono was the common format until 1968 regardless.
Llevo escuchando a los Beatles desde los 8 años, ahora tengo 28 y puedo decirte que es un gusto que va creciendo con los años, entre mas los escuches mas cosas vas a apreciar Por ejemplo In the End, los 3 tocan 3 guitarras diferentes, esta el unico solo tocado por el baterista y podria decirse que es la ultima canción de la banda en vida ya que "Let it be" se grabo antes y salio con el unico fin de vender
Damn, some of these comments are REALLY pretentious ngl It’s interesting to see your reaction to this album because I’m also Gen Z too (early 20’s, possibly around the same age ?) and I absolutely LOVE the Beatles!!! I respect what they did for music and they’ve become my favorite band at the moment easily!! It took me until I was 18 or so to expand my music taste beyond rap. Hip-hop is still my favorite genre, but I’ve learned to explore other artists too like David Bowie and Prince for example. Anyhow, I think what some people don’t realize is not everything clicks on first listen and that’s okay. I know I wasn’t too impressed with this album with my first listen too outside of the first side, but now it’s become my favorite album of all time!! :D I think it’s good that you’re giving your honest reaction. I think some people took your comments a little too seriously and were expecting you to glaze it all the way or to be well versed with music theory and the context behind this album. Which to that say: no, that’s stupid. That’s not needed to enjoy music. People have different tastes and just because an album is well regarded and highly acclaimed doesn’t mean EVERYONE has to feel that way about it. Pinned comment already suggested trying to approach this with an open mind, so I’ll also say this: If it’s not too much trouble, try looking at the context behind albums or look into what people enjoy about it!! I know that stuff helps elevate my listening experience because it gives me a bit of what to look forward to & a newfound appreciation behind certain tracks :D Abbey Road is lush in its production, I love the medley (2nd half), I love what it stands for (the last hurrah of the fabulous four), and the songs are fucking great. Even if you didn’t enjoy it as much, it was a nice video & I hope you’ll turn around and grow to love them too🫡
One of my favorite Beatles albums is the soundtrack to Magical Mystery Tour. I hope you will find or make the time to react to this exceptional album.😮😊
I'm Gen Z, born 2006. I've been a die-hard Beatles fan for as long as I can remember. Trust me, age isn't the issue, like Ztorm.369 said. It's the modern day music culture and the way that the youth consume music (not to mention the music they're listening to - practically beat-perfect in every way - the youth are finding it hard to appreciate songs that don't have top-of-the-class modern production techniques, unfortunately).
@@tobz_games yes I agree with completely, when I said he will Learn I meant the more he is exposed to Beatles music the more he will come to appreciate it
As a longtime Beatles fan, I appreciated your reactions. I don’t agree with your thought that the album is filler at all, but it’s true that side 2 is largely an assemblage of song fragments. In my opinion, it’s a very successful blend! The lyrics make more sense if you know about the Beatles history. Someone stole stuff from McCartney’s home by coming in his bathroom window. Though world famous, the Beatles money was tied up in lawsuits and promised royalties, hence ‘you never give me your money’ only ‘funny paper’ (promises). The second part of the song deals with escaping from the stress of meetings and just driving aimlessly with no obligations.
You got lots of views on this video, that’s no coincidence. This is the greatest band of all time. Listen to more of The Beatles. Don’t let these comments change you, keep your reactions pure and genuine; however try to keep an open mind. I’d recommend you listen to the white album next.
Thank you. It was my first attempt to broaden my musical horizon and I’m glad you didn’t take it to heart. Definitely caught myself singing some of these songs as days have progressed
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w Hey man! I would say music like the late beatles require more listening "experience" prior than most music usually requires. It doesn't mean that music that doesn't require musical experience beforehand is any worse for it, but truly timeless music has to be in some way challenging for the listener to stay timeless. But since that music is challenging you might not like it (or realize it's "greatness") on that first listen. But trust me, when you've learned to embrace the challenge of the music you're listening to by listening to more music of different genres and influences, it makes listening to music and truly engaging with it much more rewarding. (Doesn't only apply to The Beatles, ask the average person to listen to Yeezus and see how many people like it on the first listen...)
There's a reason why we remember The Beatles and not some random pop band from the same time as them. It's because they challenge the listener, not just give them what they want to hear.
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w sorry about the comments too! but haha i will admit it caught me a bit off guard too when you said "not a lot happened" in come together haha
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1wThe Beatles did to modern music what Copernicus did to astronomy. But is it really that fascinating to learn about the Earth revolving around the Sun for someone born to this knowledge?
As I love The Beatles, I don't really like this cult approach. You are innocent, arrogant, unapologetic, just as fresh youngster should be. Important part is you are open to explore and ONLY that matters.
If John, Paul, George and Ringo would be modest none of the magic would have happened.
@@bogna8877i respect your comment so much
It's not The Beatles that are on trial here.
No way you have been in a book store
Maybe for coloring books.
@@richardeast3328😂
“Movement” is exactly what modern music lacks. You rarely hear a middle 8, key change, non diatonic chord or a time signature change in a modern chart song. Abbey Road is absolutely full of them. Whether you like it or not, it’s an album packed with masterful writing and creativity. Hopefully as your knowledge of music increases you’ll revisit it one day with a different perspective
I was thinking the same exact thing. He "thinks" there was no movement? I never thought I would hear someone say that about The Beatles' music. Just wow. Today''s music lacks a lot of things that music of the past had. It is the opposite of what he said.
Really ? The arrogance is off-putting and unearned.
The lost art of the middle eight is to be mourned.
Gen Z hears musicians playing actual instruments and using voice- confusion ensues.
Beatles are a rock & roll band that recorded any genre they wanted to, because they could & they are The Beatles.
@@mitchellbatchelor1594 Exactly. Come Together is pure minimalist proto-rap.
You think what is happening here is that you are critiquing an iconic Beatles album… actually, what is happening is that people are looking at your reaction and wondering about your lack of music sensibility. The Beatles are not on trial here, you are.
As a Gen Z who is way younger than you. I'm disappointed in this video
Thank you for rescuing Gen Z’s reputation.
Thank you. I already started to despair. After your response I realized it's just that he is immune to great music. Let him go back to Billy Eilish and such. I am quitting.
Your taste and my taste and his taste can be different and all are valid. that's how it is.
@@anuraagkorchipati8794 No arguing with this. It's that I don't like it and don't have to watch it, that's how it is..
@@anuraagkorchipati8794no he sucks
I love that he kept trying to make sense of lyrics. It’s not about the words. Sometimes word can be used like a music instrument. You combine them to make a sound, am abstract impression. It requires your imagination to make it work.
It almost sounds like you're speaking to a toddler 🤣
He was pretending to be trying to make sense of the lyrics and music.
Come back when you have some ears mate.
Youth is wasted on the young.
Yes, the Fabs were British. Now it's out, the whole world will know.
LOL
Be careful or they will invade America.
this is the second so-called music producer I've come across doing reactions who has never listened to the Beatles.... God help us. He managed to listen to Come Together (book shop music) Something and I Want You and didn't notice the amazing bass for instance. After enduring this I realised he doesn't actually know how to listen to music. This was agonizing and every time he said something he revealed more of his inability to know what he is saying. He's said he will review more Beatles but I sure won't be watching.
I don’t want to criticize too harshly… he’s young, and we have all discovered new music at some point and didn’t understand it and wanted to voice our opinion. We’ve been in his shoes at much earlier points in time and not been able to embarrass ourselves to the world via the internet simply because these forms of media didn’t exist; otherwise we would have capitalized on them just like he’s doing. We were just fortunate enough not to speak our thoughts publicly or we would have sounded ignorant/arrogant too. But at least he’s trying. Let’s give him a shot to get it. I hated the dead for twenty years and now I “get it.” Beauty takes time
This was painful to watch. I made it to 'You Never Give Me Your Money' and had to bail.
Very painful...filler? He doesn't realize it's an album to be played in one sitting! His comments on the mix are horrible and are completely uninformed.
@@MookCahill I agree. At the same time he records himself and flaunts how much he doesn't understand or know, choosing to embarras himself. He could've just put on some music in his home and relaxed and tried to get to grips with the new music like all of have done.
Douche
I’m watching this right now, and I’m gen Z and a bit younger than you, and I’m a really big fan of The Beatles, and no disrespect to you at all for your opinions, everyone has different tastes in music, I would recommend listening to some of their other albums as well. They’re a pretty big part of music history and have done some pretty interesting things with their songs!
Does he realize they are actually singing harmonies and it's not computerized?
No.
I think bro is learning. He listened the whole album that's a starting point
@@Scaar81 He wasn't really listening. He was reacting for the camera. He was completely distracted from start to end. Fidgeting. Short attention span. He wasn't listening.
Uffh, bro. this was a brutal watch. You REALLY need to expand your musical diet lmao. This feels like watching someone who’s only ever eaten McDobalds have a meal that Gordon Ramsay personally made for them, and just they react with indifference and apathy lmao. I’m not a dork either, I don’t think there’s anything inherently better about “old” music when compared to new stuff, but lord, dude, Uffh. If you listen to Abbey Road and don’t immediately have a life-changing epiphany you might not be from this planet. No hate though you seem like a chill guy 🙏
If you listen to most songs on Abbey Road, they sound basic, besides I want You(She So Heavy) which is the only realy progressive song on the album, the album sounds like a standard 70s rock album. The medley is filled with unfinished tracks molded together be the band to make a musically connected side two, even Paul McCartney himself said the songs were filler, made from ild scraps of past songs from 65-68, watch the Get Back Serious, the songs were originally meant for the roof top concert, but were still unfinished at that point. Abbey Road is not their best album, its a great album, but I could see why people now a days wouldn’t bat an eye at it, times have changed, The Beatles are not number 1 no more, grow up with that fact
@@rocknroll5941The Beatles have the best discography in popular music. Who else would be number 1? Dylan,maybe?
@@paranoidplane9799 Your own opinion buddy. I would say Led Zeppelin has the best discography, but you clearly don’t agree, seeing as you said The Beatles
I guess I'm older genz (98) and my parents and I are all classically trained musicians. we all have varied music tastes (I won't say "I listen to everything" but it's quite varied.) this album is a required listening along with dark side of the moon, zeppelin 4, Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore East, etc. we carry the torch.
Next week: GEN Z guy reacts to water for the FIRST TIME. "Hmmm....Reminds me of Gatorade"
😂
Not sure you were ready for the Beatles, maybe you should start with the Monkees...
lol 😀
The Monkees? Too advanced. How about The Archies? 😂
The Monkees tv show, who became a real band, were based on The Beatles! They need to start pre-1964 and see where music was before the Beatles!
Funny enough, The Monkees were dope by the time they were taking psychedelics and making the Head movie and soundtrack. Even Frank Zappa was a fan of them.
Those are not filler songs. The songs on the second half of the album were made deliberately to fade into one another to be a medley so they are shorter. They are meant to be listened to without pausing. You should listen to some of their other very popular albums! Revolver is my personal favorite (very experimental sounds that I think you would enjoy as a producer) , but Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band (considered to be one of the first concept albums) is probably their most iconic next to Abbey Road. Either of these albums would be a good next step for your Beatles journey!
SOME OF THE MEDLEY SONGS WERE UNFINISHED.
BUT STILL GENIUSES AT WORK!
Don't pause the medley ever
FYI - "Heavy" was a slang term for serious. Serious in a good way. Think of it as she's so fly, she's so bad, she's so cool, she's so hot, she's so dope, she's so (insert slang term of whatever generation you are part of). It does NOT refer to her weight LMAO!
“What’s that for?”
For listening to 4 amazing artists.
5. Billy Preston on the organ.
dude please don't review any more beatles songs ever again
This gen Z is too nervous for old music, lol. "What is this for?", for listening dude, :) .
i will. just because you told me not to.
Yes, please. Don't review a single bleatle song ever.
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w Please, listen him
@iPICKMUSIC-q1w I want you to. Listen to Srg Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band it's one of there best
Highly praised by critics and music connoisseurs for 45 years, but Gen-Z says: so-so...
Gen-Z, that's it... 👎
All of the band members sang lead on different songs. Usually whoever wrote the song, sang the lead.
Re: the panning. This was still pretty early in the days of stereo mixing and a lot of albums from this time period hard panned everything...because they could I guess? lol. A lot of Beatles purists prefer the mono mixes of their albums. But as a musician myself, the stereo mix makes figuring out the parts so much easier!
The 'tempo' changes in I Want You (She's So heavy) aren't actually tempo changes, they are switching between regular time and half time.
The synth they used on this album (one of the first Moogs) was pretty much a brand new thing. There were a couple of albums out there that were only synth (Switched-On Bach for example) but people weren't really using them on pop albums yet.
They definitely smoked pot and experimented with LSD, but for the most part they avoided it in the studio.
An important thing to note was that this album was recorded on only 8 tracks. There was no copying and pasting like in today's DAW's. So in a lot of cases they recorded the whole band live on 5 or 6 tracks which left 2 or 3 for vocals and any overdubs. Prior to this album, they were recording their albums on only 4 tracks!
Think about that. As a producer, think of how limiting making a song on just 4 tracks would be.
This album was their swan song. The recording of their previous album had been a bit of disaster internally for the band with lots of arguments, people quitting the band and coming back etc. A couple of months after that experience I think they all sensed that the end was near and they decided that they wanted to do one last album like they used to and brought back their old producer (George martin) to keep them focused and in line.
Album suggestions: If you want to do another Beatles album, it would interesting to go back a bit to Sgt. Pepper's
Other bands albums: Pink Floyd - Dark Side of The Moon is often regarded as one of the best albums ever made.
Rolling Stones: The Beatles main 'competitor' of sorts. Sticky Fingers or Let It Bleed would be a good place to start.
Good stuff: Marvin Gaye - ‘What’s Going On’, The Beach Boys - ‘Pet Sounds’, Stevie Wonder - Innervisions, Bob Marley - Exodus, Radiohead - OK Computer, Miles Davis - Kind of Blue.
Alright. I'll stop lol. Good luck in your musical history adventure. I was about your age when I starting thinking about the music that came before what I was listening to in the now. If you are a music lover, it's an amazing never-ending trip. Enjoy it!
Yeah, on the 4-track machine, if you raised the levels on the drums, the bass came with it.
The song called The End is the 3 guys on guitar each doing like a call and response to each other, similar to jazz musicians when they improvise.
"What's it for?". It's music, you listen to it, let it soak into you, let it carry you somewhere else, let it trigger emotions, memories, ideas, etc. It takes a while to adjust and appreciate music from a different time but it's worth the time and attention. Many of the lyrics on this album, e.g. Come Together, are surreal or nonsensical to spark random associations, get the imagination working; others are poetic, for those that can appreciate it.
If you're not familiar with 60's & 70's musical dreamscapes, check out some Pink Floyd.
You should check out more of their albums, as you are a producer, they are vital to modern music history and can learn a lot from them.
Some of your questions answered:
-The hard pan is just a remaster's thing. When Beatles recorded, there was no Stereo audio (every fan hates it, if your earphone is half-side broken, you can't enjoy at all)
- Yes, they're rock
-The outro of I Want You (She's So Heavy) is intended to be like an eternal noise and tension creator to feel the impact when the change to Here Comes The Sun occurs (back in the day, the vinyl didn't allow to see when the music changed)
-Octopus Garden is meant to be a children's song, sung and written by the drummer
-The "Something" in Batman is the Nirvana's one (Nevermind album, must hear)
-All the four members sing, each one their own songs. The two main singers and composers were John Lennon and Paul McCartney
-The non-sense lyrics came from a era that all the songs were about platonic love, so to make something interesting, you should make something different (they got that from Bob Dylan): "The only thing a song should do is be entertaining" - Paul McCartney
- The spanish section in Sun King is just non-sense lol
-The "Filler Songs" were ruined by the dynamic of pausing every song ending. It's known as "The Long One", a big 16 minutes medley, like one big song; a event that only works if you hear them with no pause between the tunes (give it another try sometime)
- Besides there's no Stereo, the Beatles literally created lots and lots of studio technics that we still uses today, like Loops, Auto-Double Tracks, 16 Track Machines (when their started their career, they could only use 4 tracks PER SONG, so they INVENTED NEW MACHINES), reverse recordings, organic noises etc.
- This was the last album that they recorded as a group. "The End" hits very hard.
- Her Majesty was intended to be in the middle of the medley, but changed in the final minute
- Yes, they used lots of drugs
That being said, nice video, man. I'm a gen Z as well and an amateur music producer, but I grew kinda incapsulated listening to only Beatles almost my entire childhood (not a common thing here in Brazil), so it's nice to see other points of views.
As a suggestion, if you wanna see the real pioneering projects of them, you could react to either "Revolver" or "Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band". The first one, my favorite album of them, and the second one, the most important album in history of modern music and the most selling album of the 60's (not me saying, it's the critics).
If you want to expand the horizon, I couldn't recommend anything less than Pink Floyd's "The Dark Side Of The Moon" (that I think would blow your mind).
have a nice day :)
Well said. This was definitely not the album for him to start with. It doesn't seem like he's going to be able to appreciate the stuff, but you gave him a great suggestion. Sometimes it takes people a while to tune their ears to organic music.
They tôk a lot ò drugs, but they ưere always sober ưhen recording.
None of this is “filler.” Each song and style conveys something in its style, or its lyrics or its instrumentation that they believed was important to share. Most Beatles fans rank this as one of their top 2 or 3 Beatles albums.
I love this album and I can understand someone not liking it at first, I understand your reaction, just make sure this is not the last time you hear this or other beatles albuns
This was their last album and was their goodbye. It is the best curtain call of all time. The second side is intended to be a medley, an encore and a bow. They were not so much a product of their time as much as one of the main architects of the time. They trapeze effortlessly from genre to genre and even invented some along the way. Mostly, it was from a time when artists played their own instruments, sang without autotune, had imagination and didn't have to rely on a computer to pronounce a word.
Having said that, I appreciate your honesty and taking the time to listen to an album from 1969. When you've had a chance to delve into other music from that time and acclimatize to the mood of the time, you may 'get it'. The fact that you're even listening to it 55 years after it topped the charts must mean something. I often wonder whether anyone would bother with the music you prefer 55 years from now? Maybe. But I would feel comfortable positing that 'Abbey Road' will be.
Dude, you should watch "Call Me Caroline" 's review of Abbey Road. She's about the same age as you, perhaps a year or two older, but unlike you, seems to enjoy music overall more than you. She doesn't ask, "What is music for?"
Anyway, you would learn a lot from her. She notices little things like guitars, bass, voice, keyboards, melody, etc.
But they are two different people lmao, one is a artist, while one here is a “producer” you can’t tell me you just compared them because of their age, cmon dude, grow up, he enjoys music just as much as her, just not the same type of music. Lmao
You need to keep doing reactions to Beatles albums, I'm from generation Z too and I can tell you that they are the biggest band ever and don't take my word for it, just google which is the biggest band of all time, Abbey Road was their last album and they left a huge legacy with it.
There's no "filler" on this album. Side 1 was to please John who wanted a more straight forward rock n' roll sound, and side 2 was for Paul, which is why it's all connected with the exception of Here Comes The Sun.
Pearls before swine
Just to give you a slight clue about music and stuff, that second track (Something) that was “a bit better” has been feted as the best love song ever written. But hey.
Maxwell - best not to talk through lyrics.
Octopuses (octopi) do actually make gardens by arranging rocks and shells. It is a thing.
“Heavy” in context means intense. “Three minutes of music! Oh my god!” Short attention span, eh?
I don’t think you’re getting it, man. Never mind.
Bro getting murdered in the comments. Hilarious. Anyway, She's so Heavy is considered the first Doom Metal song, a subgenre of heavy metal that didn't really become popular until the 80's. You got one thing right about the Beatles, they were highly influential and pioneered new sounds.
I n case you're confused, this is the greatest band of all time,
I Want You (She's So Heavy) was one of the experimental tracks on the album. That big build-up at the end was John Lennon's (rhythm guitar, vocals) idea. George Harrison's (lead guitar, backing vocals) Moog synthesizer they used on the album had the ability to generate a disturbing wave of white noise, and the point of that build-up was to create something rather Avant-garde or "experimental", the likes of which had never been heard on a mainstream record before. So they incorporated the white noise to give it that dramatic feel. It also closed side one of the album, right before the record stops and the listener had to flip it over to continue listening. It was a pretty clever way to end the first half, and speaks volumes about what the status quo was back in 1969. No one had done anything like it before, at least not on a commercial scale.
Going forward I would be careful how you review music- these are songs that generations of people and many fellow musicians have said is some of the best music ever made. And some of the best lyrics. That is not a typo. I would try to "get" why that is. Some friendly advice before you get down the road too far.
He's been in his bubble far too long.

@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w So, this song is 27 years old - is that Gen Z music? lt's certainly catchy - that's why it was a worldwide hit, but there's no light and shade - it's all in one tempo with a simple chord structure. On top of that Rick Astley played no part in the writing or playing of this record. You may say that isn't important, but if you're just a cog in the production line of Stock Aitken Waterman you can hardly be expected to inject much artistry into the music.

The Beatles ARE rock...
Rock was a thing well before them, started on the 50s, the Beatles were precursors to a lot of genres like pop, metal, indie, etc
@@diegoibarrabaez8232 They didn’t say they invented Rock, just that they were a Rock band (among other things).
For the record, this band has sold over 600m records. More than anyone in history and they were only active between 1963-1970. 7 years!
aint it 800M?
Abbey Road is one of the most iconic and creative albums of all time. Everybody can have their own opinions, but man, you threw it away with both hands...
I don't think I've ever felt more rage than when I saw him skip through the medley
Finally we hear the whole album reaction here on youtube and then we have a guy who doesn't like the Beatles... unbelievable 😝
"I Want You, She's So Heavy"... cuts off like that because they just played until the tape ran out. They were pioneers in sound manipulation, studio tricks and pretty much wrote the book on all of the things you learn about producing and recording.
The songs on b side are meant to played through and not stopped. They are strung together on purpose. Get it? Smoke a joint!
Hi, Relax a little and just enjoy their work. Things were very different in the studio those days. Also learn to flow with the sound you are thinking too much.
I’m a millennial, and this reminds me of all the times I tried introducing my peers to The Beatles, Syd Barrett, and lots of other 60’s and 70’s classics, just to have them react with total indifference at best. 😭 This comments section makes me feel heard. lol
Wow this is some expert baiting ,You actually had me fooled.
Good work
finally! someone caught on
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w total crapmeister!
The best way to understand this album is that side 1 has a collection of individual songs but Side 2 is meant to be one extended piece of related musical sections (songs) like a symphony is. Each “song” introduces a different philosophical concept and different musical style and they lead from one to the next. They were labeled as songs because that is way the music media could understand it. We always listened to Side 2 as one piece of music, uninterrupted. Lyrics are symbolic about growing, changing , and often refer to themes about the stages of life or were like lines in poems.
"What is it for?" And these people get to decide the fate of the world in 10 days ' time!

Filler tracks? 39:53 Sun King? You're listening to the Sistine Chapel of popular 20th century music. Open your mind to the sublime genius before you.
To get more background on why each song on this album is considered classic or iconic, sometimes groundbreaking or revolutionary, you can look up background on each one.
Example for I Want You/She’s So Heavy:
“…begins in 6/8 time, with an arpeggio guitar theme in D minor, progressing through E7(♭9) and B♭7 before cadencing on an A augmented chord. In this chord sequence, the F note is a drone. The bass and lead guitar ascend and descend with a riff derived from the D minor scale. As the last chord fades, a verse begins in 4/4 time, based on the A and D blues scales, with Lennon singing "I want you / I want you so bad ..." The two blues verses alternate, before the reappearance of the E7(♭9) chord, and McCartney playing a notably aggressive bass riff. That functions as a transition to the main theme throughout the song. The main theme repeats with Lennon singing "She's so heavy", with a long sustain on the last word.
The second set of verses are rendered instrumentally with lead guitar. Another repeat of the "She's So Heavy" theme (this time featuring harmonies) is followed by Lennon singing a livelier repeat of the "I Want You" verse. During the next E7(♭9) transition, Lennon screams "Yeah", until his voice breaks. The song's coda consists of a three-minute repetition of the "She's So Heavy" theme, with the arpeggios double tracked, intensifying with "white noise" fading in as the theme continues, which consists of multi-tracked guitars from Lennon and George Harrison, Moog white-noise from Lennon, and drums and bass from Ringo Starr and McCartney respectively. In the middle of the 15th repetition of the theme, the song abruptly ends.”
The record producer was George Martin, sometimes called the 5th Beatles, who was considered one of the world’s most famous producers, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth in 1996 and won numerous Grammys and many awards in his career. He had been a music producer for classical records, for film, tv and live performances. His knowledge of music theory and composition was extensive, and he encouraged the Beatles to experiment with new techniques, and expand their range.
Lost ten points for wearing headphones over your hoodie; subtleties of the music are lost, though I'm not sure you'd catch them anyway. This is music you're listening to, not just beats. Let the music wash over you and tickle it's way past your eardrums. Learn to feel it, even if you don't really like it. Then you can talk about it. Nice way to Rick Roll by the way. Is this whole thing just a joke?
Genuinely don't understand why people put headphones over their hoodies
Reacting to a reactor. First, your reaction is honest & not scripted. Your generation has a low attention span. Instant gratification. LP’s are a little out of your safe space.
I was 17 years old in 1988 when I discovered the Beatles--but even at that young age I understood what they were doing with their music and their genius was immediately apparent. I am absolutely shocked at how underwhelmed this young man was by this album in particular and the Beatles in general.
Looking back, it was like tasting sauerkraut. Not that I owe anyone an explanation, but their music to me is an acquired taste. Some songs I liked more than others, but some were just not it. And it has nothing to do with me being GenZ, I know a lot small minded individuals like to jump the band wagon and blame it on that. I absolutely enjoy music from the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s. But at the time of this video, it was hard for me to see how these guys stood out musically but overtime Ive started to recognize their music more and more. Thanks for watching.
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1wYou should try their psychedelic albums. “Revolver”, “Sgt. Pepper’s”, “Magical Mystery Tour”.
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w Shove your sauerkraut up your nose.
"Why does it cut off"
That song was the last one on the A side of the vinyl. Idea being you flip it, expecting something similar and you get hit with Here Comes The Sun.
I hate my generation
"Are these guys British?!" is just so precious. Cool reaction video, keep it up
LOLOLOLOL!
My favorite Beatles album is Revolver.
There were four different lead singers on of the first five songs. First was John. Second was George. Third and fourth was Paul. Ringo (the drummer) sang lead vocal on Octopuses Garden.
As a Gen-Z kiddo, we don’t claim him, I never seen someone so uninterested in the greatest rock band of all time.😂
One of my first album purchases back in 1969. I was in 8th grade. Epic! Love their hair! yes we didn't care what the lyrics were or what they meant. We just loved the music!
The Beatles are the Walt Disney's of music. They are fabulous, the Fab Four as they once were called.
The 90s rockband nirvana made a song inspired by the song "something" which was used for the batman movie.
I think you’d appreciate their older stuff, their first few albums. As you mentioned you like a lot of movement, their first few albums had a lot of upbeat songs. As for lyrics, I wouldn’t read much into them. They pretty much came from a lot of their own personal experiences and historical context so unless you don’t know much about that sort of thing, the lyrics themselves won’t make much sense. As for the last few songs, they were originally set as one long song. I don’t know why they were separated like that but that’s probably why you thought they were filler. Overall pretty good reaction. I encourage you to do more. The Beatles are labeled as being a rock band, but they incorporated a lot of different genres so none of their songs sound the same.
Bruv. Sorry but you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Your opinion. OK. Do us a favour, keep it to yourself. Beatles fans,and there are millions of us, will not allow disrespect for the greatest band,and the 2 composers of the 20th century . 🏴
Three great composers.
@MsAppassionata Agreed 😀 I was alluding to the fact that j and p were voted composers of the century as I had my mini rant. Happy listening.
I'm not gonna hate on you, this music is new for you, you will love this one day
I'm already starting to like Octopus Garden and Come together a lot more as days progress. Catch myself singing it more and more
@@iPICKMUSIC-q1w That's awesome :)
Actually Octopus live in a garden they build under the sea. Fact! So the song is about that. It's their happy place! 😃
The generational divide begins with his statement after Come Together, "I'm sure the album gets better". Ah youth, you amuse me....
Ngl, I had the same impressions with my first listen to come together LOL
I have grown to love it now of course, but it’s funny to see
You know it don't come easy. Give him a chance. Next listening will grow on him.
The word “heavy” was commonly used in that time to mean something was emotionally or philosophically deep, or was profound, or important, or complex. Like you had to get heavily into it, in order to understand it. Written mostly by John Lennon, it refers to his relationship with Yoko Ono, who he considered to be a very deep artist and unusual human being.
In the movie Back to the Future, Marty uses it frequently to mean something is really important or impressive or amazing or critical.
This might already have been mentioned, but I haven’t gone through all the comments. But the Beatles had never used a Moog synthesizer until this album. So they were actually learning that synthesizer as they were using it on some of the songs. It was one of the first synthesizers, maybe even the first. Many musicians around that time or first learning to use it and I found it interesting to hear some of the sounds that they were coming out with. Emerson, Lake & Palmer used it on lucky man and other vans started using it, including the Monkees and the Moody blues as well. As someone mentioned earlier, the Beatles did a lot of experimentation with their music. A lot of bands were influenced by the Beatles music, and if you ask band members, singers, musicians, and others who they were influenced by a lot of them will say the Beatles. So I would say, don’t be too harsh on them but listen with an open ear and an open mind. Not everyone is going to like the same thing. I grew up with the Beatles music. I’m 69 years old. They have always been my favorite band, even though I have liked a lot of other bands. even though some bands and musicians, producers will say that they were influenced by the Beatles. I doubt that it means they were their favorite band. But I think the Beatles brought rock ‘n’ roll into a different era and they crossed genres as well. not everyone will like the same thing. That makes life interesting.
My 18 year old Grandson got into collecting records (hate calling them "vinyls") about a year ago. He collects a mix of current music along with grampa's style music. Abbey Road was the first Beatles album he wanted. The reactor might have to listen to more variety from the era to get a grasp on the variety of music that is offered from the time.
Sometimes things are meant to be simply listened to without thinking. Let it carry you where it will.
Paul McCartney wrote and sang Oh Darling. It is one of hit very best vocals😮😊
At 5:30 the song from the batman is "Something in the way" by nirvana.
Also i think you're just accustomed to hearing a lot of noise in songs, especially beats. Mostly because of brain rot and like instant gratification. Its not for everyone, but there is a reason they're considered one of the best bands of all time.
Which Batman movie?
@@Joe-rp8ou The Batman (2022)
@@lithop6914 Thanks!
Millennial with a bunch of Gen z friends here. Keep doing your thing! I didn’t agree with you half the time but it was so fun listening to your reaction.
22:36 "beat switch" 😭😭no hate i just find it funny
IQ = 85 here
Octopus's Garden is the fourth song on the album and has the fourth leading vocal one by each member so far
Let the songs play out, the album is one piece.
That is so true! This album was meant to be listened to from beginning to end without stopping. In fact, most of their albums from Rubber Soul on was meant to be played like that, I think. Anytime I hear a Beatles song, I know which song is next, even if it’s not played. Every song on these albums were played on the radio a million times. Every song! We knew every lyric. I’m 67 yrs old. I can’t remember why I went into the kitchen….but I remember every lyric of Beatles songs…and all other songs of that era! LOL. 😊
so beatles songs are in mono and this is cause i learned their producer george martin was deaf in one ear so he had to produce everything in mono so that's why beatles songs may sound a bit unique
Ha ha ha. That's brilliant. A single-sided deaf audio producer......As common as a one-legged footballer. You would have thought they'd employ someone with at least two functioning ears!
This album isn’t in mono, it’s in stereo. And you’re confusing George Martin for Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. And mono was the common format until 1968 regardless.
Llevo escuchando a los Beatles desde los 8 años, ahora tengo 28 y puedo decirte que es un gusto que va creciendo con los años, entre mas los escuches mas cosas vas a apreciar
Por ejemplo
In the End, los 3 tocan 3 guitarras diferentes, esta el unico solo tocado por el baterista y podria decirse que es la ultima canción de la banda en vida ya que "Let it be" se grabo antes y salio con el unico fin de vender
Lmao "are THESE GUYS" BRITISH))????
Damn, some of these comments are REALLY pretentious ngl
It’s interesting to see your reaction to this album because I’m also Gen Z too (early 20’s, possibly around the same age ?) and I absolutely LOVE the Beatles!!! I respect what they did for music and they’ve become my favorite band at the moment easily!!
It took me until I was 18 or so to expand my music taste beyond rap. Hip-hop is still my favorite genre, but I’ve learned to explore other artists too like David Bowie and Prince for example.
Anyhow, I think what some people don’t realize is not everything clicks on first listen and that’s okay. I know I wasn’t too impressed with this album with my first listen too outside of the first side, but now it’s become my favorite album of all time!! :D
I think it’s good that you’re giving your honest reaction. I think some people took your comments a little too seriously and were expecting you to glaze it all the way or to be well versed with music theory and the context behind this album. Which to that say: no, that’s stupid. That’s not needed to enjoy music. People have different tastes and just because an album is well regarded and highly acclaimed doesn’t mean EVERYONE has to feel that way about it.
Pinned comment already suggested trying to approach this with an open mind, so I’ll also say this: If it’s not too much trouble, try looking at the context behind albums or look into what people enjoy about it!! I know that stuff helps elevate my listening experience because it gives me a bit of what to look forward to & a newfound appreciation behind certain tracks :D
Abbey Road is lush in its production, I love the medley (2nd half), I love what it stands for (the last hurrah of the fabulous four), and the songs are fucking great. Even if you didn’t enjoy it as much, it was a nice video & I hope you’ll turn around and grow to love them too🫡
The Beatles have sold more records than anyone in history. Have some respect.
What is a bookstore???
music is just a taste, but taste can be judged
One of my favorite Beatles albums is the soundtrack to Magical Mystery Tour. I hope you will find or make the time to react to this exceptional album.😮😊
It's not his fault he Young, but he will learn
i'm gen z too , and i'm a Beatles fan since 14 I think , it's not an age thing
I'm Gen Z, born 2006. I've been a die-hard Beatles fan for as long as I can remember. Trust me, age isn't the issue, like Ztorm.369 said. It's the modern day music culture and the way that the youth consume music (not to mention the music they're listening to - practically beat-perfect in every way - the youth are finding it hard to appreciate songs that don't have top-of-the-class modern production techniques, unfortunately).
@@tobz_games yes I agree with completely, when I said he will Learn I meant the more he is exposed to Beatles music the more he will come to appreciate it
Not this guy.
Producer? of what? AKWARD. Good luck. You will need it
You're listening to 4 greatest superstar artists in one group called the Beatles
As a longtime Beatles fan, I appreciated your reactions. I don’t agree with your thought that the album is filler at all, but it’s true that side 2 is largely an assemblage of song fragments. In my opinion, it’s a very successful blend! The lyrics make more sense if you know about the Beatles history. Someone stole stuff from McCartney’s home by coming in his bathroom window. Though world famous, the Beatles money was tied up in lawsuits and promised royalties, hence ‘you never give me your money’ only ‘funny paper’ (promises). The second part of the song deals with escaping from the stress of meetings and just driving aimlessly with no obligations.
