Recent reviews
Obviously a classic album. I didn’t realise just how many hits there are on this. There are so many standout tracks to me on the first half of the album. The second half is a bit more forgettable but the idea of it being unfinished tracks that sorta blend together grew on me. I feel like there’s so many different songs on here that could be peoples favourites. For me I like Something, Oh Darling, She’s so Heavy, You Never give me your Money.
