Why is that double talk? Pick something that you have found the least interest in, say, opera. If a new opera were to come out based on some high profile writer, would you want to hear it? In all likelihood, no, there are better things to be listening to -- things you will in most likelihood be more likely to enjoy. If it's based on the Beatles, then I will most likely not like it, and therefore have no desire to hear it. You're right, there's a small chance that I may love it, but I kind of doubt it, historically speaking. On the chance that I will not like it, I'm not going to waste my time giving it a chance. There's only so many hours in a day. That's all.

It's not like it's a complete mystery -- it's not like there's a 50/50 chance of it being good or bad; there is some serious data here to make me think that I will in all likelihood not like it.

Yeah, I'm probably being hard on the Beatles a bit since they haven't repackaged their stuff nearly as much as many others.

I'm just not a big fan either repackaging in a mydiad of hits packages or trolling through the vaults to dig out "bonus" tracks...which they have done extensively. Occasionall, I"ll hear a gemm when bands do that, but more often than not, there's good reason why they were never released. And, yeah, that goes for my favorite bands too.

So, while I do like listening to older music, I'm of the mind that the music should pretty much just be left alone, and have little interest in raping the vaults for bits and pieces. This release is different in that it's familiar material all mashed together, but still just seems oportunistic to me.

And, I still hold to my original point...there is nothing new to glean from the Beatles at this point. Love 'em 'n listen to 'em if you like 'em. I'm the same with many older bands. But, I still see no reason to get all excited as if there's some new magical Beatles material dropping out of the sky.
