Re: Magical Mystery Tour - Side A - Round 5
I'm voting off Walrus. I like it but MMT is a slice of melodic brilliance with great tempo changes and excellent dynamics. Like Tom, I think Walrus is a bit undercooked and flat sounding. Lennon later complained that his songs weren't getting as much time dedicated to them as Paul's songs and I think it shows here.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Same here, as it’s a superior song to the admittedly good MMT!Silent Majority wrote: ↑12 Jan 2021, 12:04pmI'm doing the reverse.Heston wrote: ↑12 Jan 2021, 12:00pmI'm voting off Walrus.

MMT is a pleasant mid-to-low tier Beatles tune.
Walrus, on the other hand, is immense and sullied only by its association with the absolute barrel-scraping nadir of Beatles "product" and schlock:

Walrus is the best Beatles song 67 and on.
