I've been listening to THE WHITE ALBUM from the 6 CD + 1 Blu-Ray Super Deluxe Set, IT SOUNDS GREAT! The 2018 mix is the best mix to date! I've been listening to the CD's with my earbuds as well as my 8000 watt high powered stereo system, THE BASS IS INCREDIBLE! My whole house is shaking from the BASS!
I'd like to add something to my post! While the 2018 mix is great due to the tremendous bass, you don't hear the guitar sounds as much. While songs such as "Birthday," "Helter Skelter" and "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey" have great bass, you barely hear the guitar sounds. What do you think?
Personally, Helter-skelter sounds hollow to me. The original had Pauls booming bass that was just as loud as the lead guitar. Now it sounds way too clean and soft, the opposite of what Paul intended. Giles ruined the song with this new mix. Also what happened to the really loud 20 minute version we always heard about. Instead we get a slower blues groove. A big miss.
John played the six-string Fender bass.

According to the tosser who wrote this, Paul only has three songs on 'his' "single" album?
And Why Don't We Do It in The Road consigned as a 'dud'?... One of my great pleasures. In fact, it's in my top Beatle songs. Cos I just love Paul's voice and his rawness.
The guy who wrote this article has no idea!
Greg Kot, you've got to be kidding.
What an album!
Greg, you ain't got a clue.

Greg Kot has also written a book called "YThe Beatles vs The Rolling Stones". I gather he was a Stones guy.

It all sounds loud to me. While Paul and Ringo are more up front, I still hear the guitars. Maybe the placement of the instruments being different from before leaves you with the imprression the guitars sound less than what you have heard before??? It's all booming to me.

The avant-garde "sound picture" is a work of genius. Detractors can skip it. I always listen to all 8 + minutes of it. That's the beauty of the "White Album". It's big enough to hold Revolution 9 and not crowd anything else out. I love the fact that Lennon said "fuck it" and put it on there!

Hey, it's a remix! Not everyone's gonna like it. But the original is still out there too. Enjoy the extras. It's a gift for 2018!

"You barely hear the guitar sounds" (?)--how is that so? Why would Giles Martin have remixed it like that? That can't be right.
