A record that ignites my soul and makes my heart feel a thousand miles wide just by seeing the cover. An effortless listen, a landmark in sound and structure, and each side is absolutely terrific.

As solid and enjoyable any just about any album you could find. This album is melodically baffling. Melody, melody, melody, melody, melody, and to your right, another melody. And just about every one is fucking fantastic. Hearing this in 1966 must have been nuts.

A mess. A wonderful, beautiful, intimidating mess. One, however, that’s always worth sifting through.
There are gems all across the White Album. I have to feel the disjointedness is part of the charm. This is one of the finest album tapestries of the rock era and one that clearly blew the minds of many, many musicians and “album makers” to come. [First added to this chart: 04/21/2020]

A listening experience like no other. Even if some of the tracks on here aren't absolute Beatle standouts, the flow and overall vibe of this record would be incomplete without just about any of them. It's a grand piece of art even if it suffers from the occasional hyperbole.

I can't deny its significance as the stand out moments of Rubber Soul are just that, out-fucking-standing. But never have I listened to this and thought it should rank among the top tier Beatles records.

The older I get the more I appreciate this album and the higher it climbs on charts like these. Seriously, listen to it again, most tracks are masterpieces, the rest still push the sonic boundaries of 1967.
