JamesThe White Album is less a unified statement than a massive archive of four brilliant, restless musicians pulling in different directions simultaneously. Folk songs, musique concrète, proto-metal, country, chamber pop, satire, and raw blues all coexist because the band had become confident enough to follow almost any idea to completion. “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Happiness Is a Warm Gun,” and “Helter Skelter” alone would make it historically important. Its messiness is essential to its personality; the album constantly risks collapse and becomes more exciting because of it. You can hear individual identities hardening inside the group dynamic, which gives the record unusual psychological tension. A huge amount of later indie and alternative music inherited its sense that contradiction itself could be an aesthetic.
