"Sure enough, hidden behind those smiling faces were four mediocre musicians, and also four multimillionaire snobs in the proudest British tradition. Far from being symbols of rebellion, they were reactionism personified. The Beatles, optimistic and effervescent, represented an escape from reality. People, kids in particular, had a desperate need to believe in something that had nothing to do with bombs and upheaval. The Beatles put to music the enthusiasm of the masses and in return, in a cycle that bordered on perpetual motion, were enthusiastically acclaimed by the same masses.
The best of their cliches is summarized in a famous anecdote. Interviewed during their US tour, Lennon answered the question "How did you find America?" with "We turned left at Greenland!" Beneath this naive sense of humor, anarchic and surreal, lays the greatest merit of the band."

Scaruffi with his infamous Beatles text. I just took something random from around the area where he mentions this album.

Ah. Sounds like something he would say. I often wonder if he actually listens to music at all.

I think this is the most underappreciated Beatles Album. Very much a sibling to A Hard Day's Night and whilst song for song it's not as strong it's company is just as enjoyable

Underrated on the scale of Beatles record.
