The Beatles White Album

In class we listened to one of The Beatles later albums, The White Album. Since the beginning of the class I have always been a fan of The Beatles' amazing talent and phenomenal singing and instrument skill. Many people think they get better as the albums go on because they "become better musicians and improve in their skill and technicality, but I have had the opposite response. For me at least, a lot of the persona that makes me love them is that they were these funloving best friend kids who made music because they loved it, but that has seemed to fade away. Before they all participated in each of the song and worked together to make it sound awesome, but as they became more distant from the band and didn't connect it was obvious that they weren't really flowing as much as they used to. Also I really loved their more immature voices, and as they have aged I feel that it has become rougher and not as sweet (but that might be partly because of the drugs). Overall I still like them and I'm not saying that I dislike all the songs on the White album, but I definitely don't like it as much as their first albums.
