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]

This album's auditory hue is as vibrant and mesmerizing as its cover. It was jarring how much I liked this on first listen. Genuinely one of the best albums of the era.
