It’s fourteen tracks. It’s supposed to highlight the Beatles as rockers. And with tracks like “Revolution,” “Paperback Writer,” “Hey Bulldog,” and “Helter Skelter,” it does what I suppose it’s meant to do. I’m impressed, though, that it goes with two<\/i> tracks from Yellow Submarine<\/i> — “Hey Bulldog” and “It’s All Too Much.”<\/p>\nUniversally hailed for its unparalleled, transcendent quality, The Beatles’ recorded catalogue includes many of rock music’s most powerful and important songs, including “Revolution,” “Helter Skelter,” “I’m Down,” “It’s All Too Much,” “I’ve Got A Feeling,” and “The End,” while deep cut tracks like “Savoy Truffle,” “You Can’t Do That,” and “Tomorrow Never Knows” continue to surprise, move and inspire the next generation.

But if you want to put together a “rocking” Beatles playlist, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Music<\/i> compliation album from the mid-70s works just as well — and has twice as many tracks.<\/p>\n
I have listened to it, or at least my recreation of it. Tomorrow Never Knows<\/i> isn’t bad<\/i>. It’s the Beatles, so at the very least it’s more than okay. It just seems random and pointless to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
The Beatles released a new “album” today. I put the word “album” in quotes because it’s not an album, not really. It’s just an iTunes compilation, along the lines of the “Essentials” collections many bands have on the service, and it’s called Tomorrow Never Knows. It’s fourteen tracks.
