Music reviews of Love

Music Review: WOW....
Rating: 5 Stars

I'll be honest: I've always moderately liked The Beatles, but never really got into them. Hearing this album changed that. I can now call myself a Beatles fan. First of all, the way the songs are mixed together into a musical collage of sorts creates a fresh approach to these classics that easily hooks you. Second, the clarity of the original remastered recordings is astounding. I've never heard any Beatles song (or any other song from the 60s, for that matter) sound so clear. The album almost sounds like it could have been recorded recently. Both of these have made Love such an amazing compilation that by "Eleanor Rigby / Julia", I knew this album would quickly become one of my favorites.

Simply put, Love will take you for a ride, whether you are already a Beatles fan or not. I can't recommend this album strongly enough.

Description of Love

Japanese pressing of the standard version of the album. Apple. 2006.
It begins with a twittering of birdsong lifted from "Across the Universe." And once the triple-tracked a capella harmonies of "Because" enter, followed by snatches from "A Hard Day's Night" and "The End," leading into a fired-up "Get Back," it becomes obvious that this is far more than just another Beatles compilation. This is Love, conceived by the Fabs' former producer George Martin and son Giles as a stageshow soundtrack to Cirque de Soleil's Las Vegas spectacular of the same name, but appears to have taken on a life of its own. Whereas the Beatles' last release, 1, delivered the (over?) familiar hits in a nice, simple package, Love is a m?lange of the familiar and obscure, all literally mixed together in one 78-minute audio collage which succeeds in reminding the listener just why the Beatles truly are, as Lennon put it, "toppermost of the poppermost." There's no new Beatles material per se, but the songs are all approached differently--some are cut together in a flawlessly mixed medley (check out "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!/I Want You/Helter Skelter"), some reassemble different backing tracks and vocal performances to create new spins on old classics; but all the songs are revitalized considerably. Even in its weakest moments (which probably work better in the context of the show itself), Love is still a formidable prospect, and one has to admire Martin's willingness to go out on a limb with such a project. While purists may complain that the cut 'n' paste nature of the project is simply tampering with perfection, at the very least it'll make them reach for the originals and enjoy them all over again. For newcomers and everyone else, it makes a fine listen, both in its sonic clarity (the actual tracks are the best they've sounded on CD) and audacious nature. --Thom Allott
