Listened to it in full last night on the radio. I was blown away. It sounds very contempory and has a definate trance/dance feel to it (warning -I was lying in bed very stoned). Perfect album to put on after a good nights pubbing/clubbing.
The production on all the songs is excellent - everything sounds much more up front. The drums have been fiddled with a bit (more of them I'm sure) and the vocals are excellent. On Something (which I've always wished Macca had sung) George sounds really powerful. And on Lennons tracks most of the sh*t has been taken from Johns voice, so he's much rawer. Lucy ITSWD was superb.
The highlights for me were the opening of Because (just the vocals -it'll bring a tear to your eye I promise) and the linking of Mr Kite (I think) and I Want You - awesome.
One thing I thought of - the links between the songs, and many of the songs themselved, are drenched with a backdrop of voices, sounds and backwards tapes. It's the one constant thread throughout the album. So its wierd that the song that has the biggest stamp on this album is the despised Revolution 9. Oooh spooky.
Can't wait to see what people think of this.
