so many haters. i can tell they didn't vote for obama cuz they don't like CHANGE. if you don't like it don't listen to it, don't b!tch cuz there's something fresh out there that doesn't fit your cookie cutters. (let's not get political with this comment, just using a pop culture reference to knock the haters.)

what I've heard so far, sucks. The Beatles were always at their best as a basic guitar rock band. The less George Martin in the track, the better.
|

The collection "LOVE" is an abomination that should be put out of our misery. I've read Paul hates it, and I can only imagine John is rolling over in his grave over how his songs have been "lovingly" butchered. I would give this a thumbs down every time until it never showed up again, except that would end all Beatles on my stations. When I hear Blackbird morph into Yesterday, it makes me sick to my stomach. 2 wonderful songs added together does not equal a new wonderful song. Sickening.

I really like this album, it's more of an extremely smooth collection of Beatles songs then anything else. Due to the re-mixing, everything flows into the next song.

Rock Band Beatles was, in my opinion, a much better artistic endeavor than Love was, and with the exception of the song taken from Love, it didnt have to change anything to get the desired effect. Those with a Wii, PS3 or Xbox 360, I highly reccomend it

get the mono CD box of the Beatles Lp's and then purchase the stereo only versions of Abbey Road, Let It Be and several other later Lp's; yes - I suppose the artistic statement made in the Cirque du Soleil Love show is a genuine statement ...I still prefer the original music as The Beatles intended it to be heard, that's all
|
||
Before you knock this album... Go see the show in Vegas and you will not be disappointed . Just because its Cirque du Soleil doesn't mean its a circus with elephants and clowns. Its a legitimate artistic and visual interpretati o n of the music. I guarantee you will leave loving these Beatles tracks more than ever. That was the whole purpose of this album in the first place.

Get over yourself, dperry. Yes, the originals are better. OF COURSE they are. But it's still good. It captures their essense, and that's all they were trying to do.
|
||
dreck - emphasis on dreck TRUE BEATLES FANS KNOW BETTER THAN TO FALL FOR THIS CRASS COMMERCIALIS M !
get the original lp's which are now on ITunes ...my god, remixing Beatles tunes for a soundtrack - John just rolled over several times in his grave and George's eternal essence is letting loose with a piercing scream |
||
I really want to buy this, just for the sheer volume of music, re-mixed or not.
|
||
I didn't have any problems at all with this album at first, but why are this album's song the only Beatles songs my stations play now? I don't want to thumb them down, I just want the originals back.
|
||
i personally love the remastered editions, and wish that they popped up more in my radio stations. Flow is an important element in any album/set list, and LOVE is the ultimate flow album for the Beatles.
|
||
What the heck, they cut up Beatles songs and then put them together just to sound good at a Las Vegas circus show, and it annoys me when it comes up in my stations.
|
||
Good to listen to under the influence because you forget that it's all mashed up. Otherwise, let it be.
|
||
I really love this album. It's perfect when you want to listen to the Beatles, but can't decide which album. I really think more credit should be given to how well the songs flow from one to the next. Also, great for when you are traveling.
|
||
There are some real gems to be found on here. Most notably Within You Without You/Tomorrow Never Knows. The more I listened though the more I found myself wanting to just put on one of the their regular albums. I imagine the music added with the visuals of Cique du Soleil would be an extra special treat that would help mesh the music more. All in all not completely breathtaking , but worth taking a look at.

hearing some great beatles songs like this is kind of nice. It was a tribute to them that they went with and I think its cool. obviously can't compare with originals.
|
||
Refreshing mash-up, and the show in Vegas gave me chills. Commecial? Yes. But certainly not "scraping the bottom of the barrel" as George said of the Anthologies. My fave is: Drive My Car / The Word / What You're Doing (Love Version). This effort had the collaboratio n and approval of the surviving Beatles, Olivia and Yoko.
|
||
To all of you who think this album is annoying or "milking the cow": This is a loving tribute to the Beatles, produced by George Martin himself. And you could never appreciate it unless you've actually seen the LOVE show in Vegas. Try doing some research before posting your uninformed comments.

To matthew; YOU DON'T KNOW MUSIC! To all intense and purpecsethis rock as it stands.
|

if i had to choose only one album to take with me onto a desert island i would choose this one because its a fun mashup of the best of the beatles' career
|
