Today we start the next Beatles album, Magical Mystery Tour. Providing the soundtrack for the film of the same name, it performed much better than the movie actually did. The album was even nominated for a Grammy in 1968, while the film was panned by critics.
The album starts off much as Sgt. Pepper did, with a welcome song. "Magical Mystery Tour" is simple and repetitive lyrically, but with grandiose musical stylings--plenty of trumpets and percussion, like a parade. The song thereby gives the audience an invitation to keep listening, as we're about to embark on a magical and mysterious journey. As far as the song itself goes, I don't really have an opinion; it seems more like an introduction than an actual song.
That's all for today... See you tomorrow!
