PaulWarning Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) just listening to it on Spotify, not as bad as I thought it would be Edited November 2, 2023 by PaulWarning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moley6knipe Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Well… it’s ok. Don’t think I’ll be rushing to listen to it again really. They do need to knock it on the head now IMO and let the legacy speak for itself! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theplumber Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 It's pretty average...Not a good final song and I believe George Harrison said it was rubbish! Despite the tech used to put this together it does sound like it's been put together out of bits and bobs! Fans will love it but..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reggaebass Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 They just had a build up to playing it on radio 2 while I was driving I listened to it , I’m not a Beatles fan but thought it was just ok really, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I quite like it. I'm not a Beatles fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
police squad Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I think it embodies the spirit of the beatles really nicely. It certainly wouldn't have been released as a single but a good album track. Technology. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjones Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 You would have thought they'd have a bunch of great stuff hanging around that was never put on an album, because after all, they were all geniuses. But it appears they only have the scrapings at the bottom of the barrel. This track probably wouldn't even get on a Rutles album (or an Oasis one for that matter). 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothingman Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Massive Beatles fan. Switched this off at the 2 minute mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassassin Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Just had a listen - not a Beatles fan (although my Mum was) & it's OK. Sound like a Lennon tune, nothing particularly cringeworthy about it, it's 4 mins so doesn't outstay its welcome. The tech used in its creation sounds interesting. If nothing else, it's better than the recent new thing by the Stones. Won't listen to either again though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnR Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) As a massive Beatles fan my expectations were low. Insipid with little discernible Beatles character. Plays like a rejected outtake from John's Double Fantasy album. Edited November 2, 2023 by JohnR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskwave Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Reckon Lennon would have made it his next single after Woman..its got that early 80's Lennon vibe ....Doesnt really sound like the Beatles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleat Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Dreary and depressing. One listen through was enough for me. I never really "got" The Beatles to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexel Matador Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Really weak. Almost as bad as Imagine. I have a lot of time for the Beatles, in general. Though living in Liverpool for the last 5 years and being beaten over the head with them daily may have dampened that a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahpook Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 (edited) I am a Beatles fan and I think it's dire. I could get all lyrical about 'squeezing the last few dessicated, bitter fruit from a long-dead tree' but I'll quote George instead - he said it best. "..it's f××king rubbish."

Lord Sausage Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I really like it. Nice chord progression, some interesting changes and a beautiful melody. That's what good music is all about fundamentally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueMoon Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I gave it a listen. Tried to like it but……..meh. Beatles fan, but probably best left on original cassette. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franticsmurf Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 It was ok. I don't think it would have been a single in itself. Interesting that it's being released with 'Love Me Do' as a double 'A' side. To increase sales? My understanding is that it was a Lennon tune started in 1978.

MacDaddy Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Maybe I'm coming down with a cold or something, but to me, it doesn't sound like John Lennon's voice 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveXFR Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 It's alright I guess. Not their best work. If it had been released when they were still a band it would have been an album filler track and no one would remember it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Valdemar Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 I like it a lot. It's definitely a grower, at the first listen I was surprised at how downbeat it is, but it still made me very emotional. If this the last thing they ever do, a part of me regrets that it's ending on such a sombre note rather than something celebratory. It's interesting how this new Beatles release is getting such a poor reception on here whereas the new Rolling Stones album, to my ears autotuned and massively overproduced, is going down a storm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
