My presence is admittedly more voyeuristic, but I'll do some occasional second-guessing too.

Ta Nim. I might stick my oar in on a few of these microscopes. They were really good work. Sort of like the core literature of this forum. I enjoy reading through the original debates.
It'd be good to get some of the more recent arrivals to look at them again. And see if the longer term members have changed any views over the years.

Was this not essentially a movie soundtrack album? True, not all the songs appeared in the film, but doesn't the same hold true for AHDN? Anyway...film soundtrack, not a regular album.
This other discussion about them being on the way out is rather moot for me. More great music came and the rest is history.
I can forgive a bit of a creative lag (debatable) and a dependence on cover tunes, considering the whirlwind they eventually got swept up into. In fact, they did great.
It's easy to second guess and over-analyze these things in hindsight. At the time, it was thrilling.
Fun flick, too.

Still. It has four Beatle classics in Help, Ticket to Ride, You've Got to Hide Your Live Away and of course Yesterday.

Love that nit-picking that goes on regarding Beatle albums, 4 "classics" on an album. While it may be in the bottom half of the catalog, having 4 or more (love -your going to lose that girl) classic songs on an album is impressive for any band.
Alas, they were not "any" band.

But at its heart it has a gorgeous melody and simple but poignant lyrics which helps explain its wide popularity and longevity.

I am SO glad you said that. I've never cared for Yesterday, I think in part because, as you mentioned, of its overexposure, but I felt like that was Beatles sacrilege, so I've never admitted it.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the album, Moogmodule. Very interesting reading.
