>>74283020
And then the 1987 reissues came and the US version has been canon ever since.

Just bought the movie, have never listened to the album, been waiting to watch it on shrooms

>>74282249
It was my first lsd experience, the carpet started clawing at me during strawberry field, and there was a constant screeching noise and the song was really loud. Only lasted a couple minutes though.

>>74284708
The movie is weird. VERY heavy on "british humour" so dont expect much if youre american

>>74282856
This

It has the best songs next to Revolver but it manages to be even less cohesive than the White Album. Pretty underrated, though.

>>74282249
It's literally just random tracks thrown together.

I used to be a Revolver / Rubber Soul kinda guy.
When I realized I didnt even like a third of the song on both albums I became enlightened.

MMT really is their best

>>74284879
This. MMT is one of the only beatles LP i own, that also isnt crazy expensive

>>74284937
I own a couple of them, but not MMT ironically

imo their best songs are on the White Album / Rubber Soul, but these albums arent really cohesive and have a lot of sub par songs

they arent good from start to finish like MMT is

>>74282365
this

>>74284992
>have a lot of sub par songs
There are no sub par songs.

Just sub par music appreciation
>they arent good from start to finish like MMT is
>what is Flying

>>74285070
>Just sub par music appreciation
meh it's all subjective anyway

For example, I cant fucking stand Drive my car, Word, Doctor Robert & Taxman (to name a few)

Probably cause I listened to them a thousand time when I was a wee lad. Now I just cant not skip those songs

>Flying
I actually like that song a lot desu

>>74285155
Poor conversation.

What's bad about them?

>>74282856
it really is

>>74285070
you hate flying? of all songs?

Anything is better than let it be

>>74285192
No it's fine. But it is what it is-- a filler instrumental for a trippy scene from the movie. That's all. To say that the White Album and Rubber Soul has sub-par songs but not MMT is just idiocy

>>74285216
Wrong.

>>74284708
The movie is pretty bad, funny how with The Beatles the best movies have the worst soundtrack releases while the worst movies have the better music. I think the only consistent one in both aspects is A Hard Day's Night.

>>74285349
But Help! is a great album you fucktard

>>74285171
idk man I just dont like them
Overheard them to the point where I never want to hear them again

this doesnt make the songs bad per se, so I'll take back my 'sub par' point, but personally I dont like them anymore

>>74285216
I prefer Let it be naked. So much cleaner

>>74285485

Beautiful record. Back in the hardcore rave days in GB we used Flying as a rescue track when somebody had totally lost it, usually worked.

>>74284708
It's fucking terrible m8

Magical mystery tour is the best i agree

it's always been my favorite. maybe revolver would be if doctor robert didn't exist.

>>74286057
>if doctor robert didn't exist.
STop this meme

>>74285223
flying is a great instrumental that helps set the tone for the most psychedelic song on the album

>>74286105
I love the rest of the album, eleanor rigby is my favorite song by them. doctor robert isn't bad but it's not exactly great. rest is stellar. mystery tour is all stellar tho.

>>74286116
>for the most psychedelic song
No it doesn't precede I Am The Walrus or Strawberry Fields
>>74286150
>it's not exactly great.
That's OK. You need a comedown song that's more of a groove to balance it out.

>>74286167
blue jay way and it's filter on the vocals and the reversed bits of drumming is way more psychedelic than those two.

>>74286213
>wow listen to all the psychedelic rock cliches!
Nah.

>>74286234
you just stated an opinion. at least try to back it up. I can't really have a conversation with you or even see where you are coming from if you just blindly reject everything I say. stop being autistic pls.

>>74282249
Question to all of you, do you prefer the stereo version of blue jay way or the mono version which doesnt have any of those backwards "Ahhahhhs" between the verses?

>>74286277
>you just stated an opinion. at least try to back it up
I just did. Didn't you read what I said?

>>74282249
I think I was about 22. Other than the title track and I guess Flying (though I like that one) its a ridiculously solid set of tracks for almost the entire album through. Other Beatles albums have songs I like better but Magical Mystery Tour is just so consistently good from beginning to end.

>>74286326
you hardly said why you feel that way. stop being autistic pls.

The title track is brilliant, the end really gets that impending horror aspect of a really strong acid trip, when you have to ride it out and come out of the other side. It was a good idea but now you're not so sure.

I have the original album. its quite comfortable to listen to.

>>74286492
but why are those two more psychedelic

>>74286516
>>74286565
Meaning, Blue Jay Way is just a jumble of psychedelic cliches. It's as if they knew George had a shitty song, so they just threw in all the tried and true psychedelic sounds into it to salvage it.

>>74286573
you never made that clear. learn to communicate better and you might have friends someday.

How am I being autistic?

>>74287116
not knowing how to communicate with human beings. assuming things not part of the conversation and focusing on trivial things. not being able to read other's intentions,

>>74287181
>not knowing how to communicate with human beings
How did I not communicate? I explained my meaning.
>assuming things not part of the conversation
So, are you saying you are also autistic? You did the same thing.
>not being able to read other's intentions,
You mean facial cues? We're on the internet. You never showed your face you dummy.

>>74287241
you're just making yourself look worse

They put it up on streaming services and only The Beatles Vevo is allowed to have their music.

MMT was the last "fun" album they did before everyone got serious and butthurt

blue jay way is incredible comfy come on now

>>74289273
Also very contrived and fairly meaningless

>>74290227
>contrived
what about it is contrived?
>meaningless
there's a pretty clear meaning...

>>74290475
>what about it is contrived?
I alreday discussed this. Did you read the thread?
>there's a pretty clear meaning...
The quality of the meaning is poor.

PLEAAASE DON'T BE LOOONG

>>74290569
I did, and there are still no valid points about why it's 'contrived'... it's a psych rock album, and blue jay way is an original take on the 'clichés'. You can dig into almost any genre and pick out common qualities, it comes down to whether or not you like those qualities.

The quality of the meaning is poor... I won't ask you to elaborate on that because I feel like that's a matter of subjectivity as well.

>>74282249
i can not chose what there best albums is abbey road would be perfect if it did not have songs like Maxwell's Silver Hammer Octopus's garden and here comes the sun (these songs feel really out of place)

>>74282249
At last /mu/ has finally taken the MMT pill

>>74290686
>and blue jay way is an original take on the 'clichés'
How so?
>I won't ask you to elaborate on that because I feel like that's a matter of subjectivity as well.
Do you even know what the song is about?

>>74290890
The song is about George Harrison waiting for Taylor's in LA after a flight from London, particularly in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood near the Sunset Strip... as for the originality, the clear experimentation with sounds on the track create a fantastically evocative ambience.

All the studio techniques used on the song contribute in different aspects to the psychedelic aura and the vocals are almost surreal.

Even with all the immensely creative artists experimenting at the time, Blue Jay Way is a captivating example of psych rock

>>74291207
>The song is about George Harrison waiting for Taylor's in LA after a flight from London
WOW AMAZING SO DEEP
>All the studio techniques used on the song contribute in different aspects to the psychedelic aura
The techniques are all cliched though:
>and the vocals are almost surreal.
It's just played through a Leslie speaker. So?

holy shit you are pretentious, does it have to have some deeply emotional and moving backstory to be enjoyable? jesus christ

>the techniques are all cliched though
okay... but it's experimentation nonetheless and the product is pop drenched in incredible atmosphere.

>>74291506
>it's just played through a Leslie speaker. So?

I'm not even saying it was incredibly technically complex, the effect just perfectly compliments the psychedelia of the track.

On a semi-related note does anyone else think the White Album is somewhat overrated? Too much McCartney wings shit on the 2nd side

>>74292420
>enjoyable
Nice goalpost shifting
>experimentation
It's not an experiment if they knew the outcome (intentionally dressing a poor composition into psychedelic clothes).
>the effect just perfectly compliments the psychedelia of the track.
Cliches might trick you into believing that.

I was five when I was introduced to MMT and it remains one of my favorite Beatles album to this day.

Also I was born, raised, and currently live in the U.S. so it was packaged as an album, not an e.p. like in Great Britain.

Also the version of Baby You're A Rich Man that appears on the GERMAN version of the album is a TOTALLY DIFFERENT version than on any other version of MMT. Check it out if you can find it.

>the goal of music isn't for the listening experience to be enjoyable

experimentation in music doesn't necessarily mean they'll always know how the product will turn out...

>cliches might trick you into believing that

so I've been tricked into believing a song is well crafted and a great experience? that's a complete non argument

>>74294386
>>the goal of music isn't for the listening experience to be enjoyable
More goalpost shifting! You are doing great!

>experimentation in music doesn't necessarily mean they'll always know how the product will turn out...
I don't think you understand what experimental music is
>so I've been tricked into believing a song is well crafted
That is correct
>and a great experience?
Well, a fool's born every minute.

>>74294645
So what is the goal then? You've still given no proof of lack of originality in Blue Jay Way's content.

experimentalism in music isn't necessarily entirely based on chance

There is no trickery at work here, simply preferences.
