Bijeli album legendarnih liverpulskih buba zaslužuje da bude postavljen na moj blog.The Beatles, također poznat kao The White Album, je deveti studijski album engleski rock grupe The Beatles , objavljenom 22. studenog 1968. dvostruki album , njegov običan bijeli omot nema grafike ili teksta, osim imena benda reljefni , [a ] te je zamišljen kao izravnoj suprotnosti s živopisnom naslovnoj umjetnina benda ranije Sgt. Pepper je Lonely Hearts Club Band . Iako su ne pojedinačno izdana od The Beatlesa u Velikoj Britaniji i SAD-u, pjesme " Hey Jude " i " Revolution " potječe sa istog snimanjai iz kolovoza 1968. Pjesme na albumu kreću se u rasponu stilu od britanskih blues i ska glazbenika na stazama pod utjecajem Chuck Berry i Karlheinzom Stockhausenom .
Većina pjesama na albumu su pisane tijekom ožujka i travnja 1968. na tečaju transcendentalnie meditacije u Rishikeshu, Indija. Skupina se vratila u EMI Studios u svibnju sa snimanjem u trajanju do listopada. Tijekom ove sjednice, argumenti su izbili između Beatlesa, a svjedoci u studiju vidjeli članovi benda svađati preko kreativnih razlika. U osveti pojačati kada Lennona novi partner, Yoko Ono , upisuje sjednice. Nakon niza problema, uključujući i producent George Martin uzimanje nagli dopust i inženjer Geoff Emerick zbog odvikavanja, Ringo Starr nakratko napustio bend u kolovozu. Iste tenzije nastavio tijekom sljedeće godine, što je dovelo do eventualnog raspada Beatlesa u travnju 1970. godine.
Na izdanju, The Beatles Kritike su bile pomiješane s glazbenim novinarima . Većina kritičara našao svoje satiričke pjesme nevažno i apolitični usred burne političke i društvene klime, iako su se neki hvalili Lennon i McCartney pisanje. Bend i Martin budući da su raspravljali da li je grupa trebala su izdali jedan album umjesto. Ipak, The Beatles dosegao broj jedan na top ljestvicama u oba Velikoj Britaniji i SAD-u i od tada je pregledan od strane nekih kritičara kao jedan od najvećih albuma svih vremena.
