For those who are already well acquainted with this album, white album, white review..
For all others, there's the first version.
"While My Guitar Gently Weeps"... really seems as if the guitar is weeping through a metallic and desperate wail.
The "White Album" is undoubtedly a magnificent work, of excellent artistic value, certainly confused, acidic, ferrous, overshadowed by some low blows almost fortunately concealed by other finely crafted tracks.
This great double album is thus the result of what the four Beatles brought out unbeknownst to each other, and the fascinating thing is that it impresses.
With this album, they have proven to be ahead, turning music into simple and pure art, even simply playing with experimentation and the simplest rock.
This is the best description one can give of this (controversial) album. Because it is indeed a masterpiece; but it is a masterpiece in potential.
George Martin said: 'I didn’t want them to release a double. I told them to make a single album with 12 great songs.'
A cult object, a manual, a bible, a totem.
If you listen to records before the White Album and after—the difference is there, and you can touch it.
