5 stars With this record The Beatles delivered the groundwork for everything that would make seventies music great. Though still very much a psychedelic rock/folk/pop record, its endless string of highly original melodic and distinctive songs is almost unmatched in rock history. The pace in which the first few songs of the record compete for being the best song you've ever heard is simply mind-blowing - as is the otherwordly ending of the album with the epical 'A Day in the Life'. By making this recording The Beatles just destroyed all preconceived notions of what a pop album could and should be. It could be diverse, experimental, playful, symphonic, intimate, happy, sad, psychedelic and what not. This record to me represents Western artistic freedom itself and it is a joyful experience I reserve for special moments with friends. Oh, and that recording sound - it should be a reason to listen to this in and of itself.
