THE BEATLES THE BEATLES

The profusion of atmospheres of the “double-white”, absorbing and reinventing infinite nuances of music, proves that "the Beatles do not play "pop, they own it," to quote David Quantick. The quartet did not make which draws from a wide variety of styles: he appropriates each territory musical, from the height of his experience and his artistic instincts. In this sense, "The Beatles" is a demonstration of the power that takes into their hands pop, all pop one could say, while infusing them with the quality of their songwriting. Greater than the sum of its parts, greater than a compilation of titles that we are sometimes tempted to sort, its four sides impose both unity and plurality, are untouchable at the same time that are interactive and, all in all, embody the idea of ​​an album. As John Lennon did emphasizes, if Sgt. Pepperʼs has going for it its ʻʻforcedʼʼ concept which sets it apart and contributes to its popularity, "The Beatles" is of a deeper dimension which appeals to other parts of the affect, the intellect, the sensitivity of each one. It is a journey into the unconscious, into emotions: sex, fear, anger, humor, childhood, love, sleep, awakening, tenderness, violence… It was necessary well a double album to condense all that.
